We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share personal information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website and conduct our business, such as website hosting, analytics, communications and technology providers.
These service providers may process personal information only as necessary to provide their services to us and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
We may also disclose personal information where required by law, regulation or legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a cookie consent management tool that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings available on our website.
For further information about the cookies used on this website, please refer to the information provided through our cookie consent tool.

Where applicable data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, we and our service providers take appropriate measures to protect personal information in accordance with those requirements.
7. How Long We Keep Your Information
