3. How We Share Information

Where this involves cross-border transfer of personal data, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

4. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

5. Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach occurs that affects your personal information, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.
6. Children’s Privacy
