3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described in this policy or with your consent. However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment processors and shipping companies, may need access to your information to perform services on our behalf.

• Protect and defend our rights or property
• Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our website

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. This includes using secure sockets layer (SSL) software and encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
