We implement industry-standard security measures such as encrypted transmissions, secure databases, and internal access controls to protect your personal data. While no system can guarantee 100% security, we take appropriate steps to reduce risks.

6. Remarketing and Retargeting

We may use remarketing platforms (like Google or Facebook) to show ads to previous visitors. These ads may appear on other websites you visit but do not involve the collection of personally identifiable information.
