safeguards where applicable. We do not authorize service providers to sell your personal information for their own
unrelated marketing purposes.
We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, including to comply with a valid legal demand,

against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure.
Depending on the information and systems involved, safeguards may include restricted account access, passwords,
security updates, hosting protections, and limiting access to authorized personnel.
However, no website, email system, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot
promise absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us.
