3. Data Storage and Retention

3.1 Storage Location

Our website is hosted by third-party service providers. Your personal information may be stored on servers located in the country/region where our hosting provider operates, which may be outside your country of residence. We take appropriate contractual and technical measures to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection regardless of where it is stored.

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security assessments of our service providers.

In the event of a personal data security incident, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authorities as required by applicable law, including the nature of the incident, the data affected, and the measures we have taken or plan to take.

Please note: No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
