  1.

These companies have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
  2. Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).

  5. Analytics and Advertising Services: We share non-identifiable or aggregate information with entities like Google Analytics for better insight into our website usage and user demographics.

  6. Data Protection: Whenever we share data with third parties, we take steps to protect your information by requiring these third parties to enter into a contract that obligates them to use your personal information only for the provision of services specified in the contract and to maintain the confidentiality and security of the data.

  4. Secure Storage and Handling: All electronic personal information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We also use additional measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and network monitoring to safeguard against unauthorized access.
  5. Incident Response Plan: In the unlikely event of a data breach, we have a robust incident response plan designed to promptly investigate the breach and mitigate any damage caused. This includes notifying affected individuals and relevant authorities where necessary.
  6. Third-Party Security: We carefully select our third-party service providers and require them to use appropriate measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal data.
