LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our Services and Website may include links to third-party websites, applications, and services that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security policies of these third-party websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information by these third parties will be governed by their respective privacy policies, which may differ from our own. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy and security policies of any third-party websites or services you visit to understand how they collect and use your information.

SECURITY

We employ comprehensive technical and organizational measures to safeguard the information we collect about you, ensuring compliance with legal, privacy, and contractual obligations. Although we are committed to maintaining the highest security standards, it is important to recognize that no system can guarantee absolute protection. By sharing your Personal Information with us, you acknowledge and accept the inherent security risks. In the event of a breach involving your Personal Information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws.

RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND ITS TRANSFER

We will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including providing our Services to you.

TRACKING PREFERENCES (DNT)

Certain web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that allows users to signal their preference not to have their online activities tracked. When a website that supports DNT receives such a signal, it may limit the collection of certain user information. However, not all browsers support DNT, and DNT signals are not consistently standardized across platforms. As a result, our Website, like many others, does not currently respond to DNT signals.

This information helps us deliver relevant advertisements and improve our Services. Additionally, we may use cookies on both our Website and those of our advertisers to enhance functionality, deliver targeted ads, and retain previously provided information for future visits, improving your overall user experience.
