What Is GDPR

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. When data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. However, we may share it with trusted third-party services that help us operate the website (e.g., email marketing tools, analytics providers). These third parties are obligated to comply with GDPR and maintain strict data security measures.

International Data Transfers

If you are located in the EU and your data is transferred outside the EU, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms, to protect your personal information.
