We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information:

Access Controls: Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel only on a need-to-know basis. All systems require password protection and follow security best practices.

Email Security: Business correspondence is conducted via Gmail with encryption in transit (TLS) and advanced threat protection.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
