Disclosure of Personal Information

These third parties are only provided the minimum amount of personal information necessary to complete the requested service.

Security of Personal Information
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website uses industry-standard SSL encryption to safeguard your payment information. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Our Site and mobile apps are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information in violation of this policy, we will promptly delete it.

- Do Not Track (DNT) signals: Some browsers have incorporated DNT signals that can notify websites you visit that you do not want your online activities tracked. Because a uniform standard has not yet been established for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not currently respond to browser DNT signals.
