Your consent to this Privacy Policy, followed by submitting such information, represents your agreement to that transfer. The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. No transfer of your personal data will occur to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls, including the security of your data and other personal information.

Law Enforcement: Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose your personal data if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

Other Legal Requirements: The Company may disclose your personal data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation,
• Protect and defend the rights or property of the Company,
• Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service,
• Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public and
• Protect against legal liability.

7. Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your personal data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you know that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

If we rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent's consent before we collect and use that information.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites that we do not operate. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party's site. We strongly advise you to review every site's privacy policy.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for any third-party sites or services' content, privacy policies, or practices.
