Information Security

We, along with our third-party services and affiliate entities, implement data security systems and procedures to protect the information transmitted, processed, and stored on the Website and our servers.

We periodically review our data collection and security practices, utilize third-party services with established security standards and certifications, and restrict access to data within our organization. While these measures help reduce the risk of security breaches, no system can guarantee absolute security. Therefore, we cannot assure that the Website or our servers are completely immune to unauthorized access or other security risks.
