I take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. My website is secured using SSL technology (HTTPS) to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and the site.

I will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. I will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with my legal obligations (for example, if I am required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce my legal agreements and policies.
