3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
