3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We share data only with trusted service providers (such as payment processors and hosting infrastructure partners) and disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights. We may use aggregated, anonymized data for analytics and service improvements.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption for sensitive information transmission, regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis. Our data centers employ both physical and digital security controls.
