Access to your Personal Information will be granted only under the conditions specified in this Privacy Policy. We employ appropriate security measures for data stored in various formats to safeguard your personal information. Our systems, protected by advanced firewalls and 128-bit SSL encryption, ensure a high level of security for all user data. We also implement password protection and virus scanning for enhanced security of our digital platforms.

Whenever we update this document, the changes will be effective immediately upon their posting on our website, unless otherwise stated. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy page. We encourage regular review of this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. Significant changes will be communicated through additional avenues such as direct emails or public announcements on our service platforms.
