4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We never sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information to third parties. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, strictly bound by data confidentiality agreements:

  • Affiliate Networks: When you click on an affiliate merchant link, an anonymous referral identifier is passed to the merchant to attribute qualifying purchases. No personally identifiable information is transmitted.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) 256-bit encryption across our entire website, firewalls, and restricted administrative access to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or until you request its deletion.
