4. Data Security

The security of your data is critical to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Our security measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, regular software updates, and internal reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices.

5. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

6. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the US and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to US and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
