  1. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information except in limited circumstances:

  • When required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or court order.

We do not share your information with marketers or for advertising purposes.

  1. Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored on secure servers located in the United States. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate information.
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information (subject to certain exceptions).
  • Opt-out: Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time (unsubscribe link will be provided in emails).
  • Do Not Sell/Share: We do not sell or share your personal information, so no opt-out is needed for that purpose.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by law.
