    • Correction: Update or fix inaccurate data.

  6. Security & Retention

    • We use industry-standard security measures (encryption, firewalls, limited access).
    • No method is 100% secure; we can’t guarantee absolute security.
    • We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described, or as required by law (e.g., financial or regulatory recordkeeping).

    If you access our Services from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. By using the Services, you consent to such transfers, which may not provide the same level of protection as your home country.
