  • Deletion/Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal information. We will comply unless we are legally required or have a legitimate business reason to retain certain data.

  • Cookies: You can typically configure your browser to refuse some or all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that blocking cookies may impact site functionality.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.
