These providers may process limited personal information where necessary to provide their services.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, protect our services, or comply with legal obligations.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under 13.
