You have the option to adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, although this may affect your ability to access certain features of our website.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Links to Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.

8. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You may also have the right to object to or restrict the processing of your personal information and to receive a copy of your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.
If you are based in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will only process your personal information for a purpose described in this privacy policy if (1) you have provided your consent (which can be withdrawn at any time), (2) the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you, (3) we are required by law, or (4) the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate commercial interests (except where such interests are overridden by your rights and interests).
If you are based in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, in certain circumstances you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information that we hold about you—specifically:
- Request access to your personal information.
