The website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functionality, remember preferences, measure traffic, or support advertising where enabled.
The specific technologies used depend on the website’s configuration and the third-party services installed.
You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings or any consent controls provided on the website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
If analytics or advertising tools are active, this policy should identify the relevant practices and provide any required notices or choices.

5. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service coordination, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance.
Retention periods depend on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and any applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, it should be securely deleted, destroyed, or de-identified where appropriate.
6. Data Security
We use appropriate safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, and disclosure.
No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. The business should review its security practices regularly and limit access to personal information to people and service providers who need it for legitimate purposes.
