International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to provide a similar level of protection, such as relying on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or ensuring the recipient is certified under an approved certification mechanism like the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (if applicable and valid).

Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
