SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect the personal data you provide to us from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures are regularly reviewed and improved to ensure the optimal protection of your data.
While we take every effort to protect your personal data, it is important to keep in mind that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee their absolute security.
