- Legal obligation — when required by law.
7. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We will not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share your data with:

You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that doing so may affect Website functionality or prevent certain services from working properly.
9. Data Security & Retention
We implement reasonable organizational and technical safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this Policy — or as required by law. If you request deletion (where applicable), we will delete or anonymize your personal data, unless we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes.
