3. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We value your trust and do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information with:

• Service Providers: Trusted third parties who assist with payment processing (e.g., PayPal, credit card companies), shipping, and IT services. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements.

Your security is our priority. We implement measures to safeguard your data:

• Storage: Data is stored on secure servers, with personal information retained only as long as necessary for business or legal purposes.
• Encryption: We use advanced encryption (such as SSL technology) for transactions, similar to the security described in our payment methods (e.g., 3D Secure authentication).
• Access Controls: Limited access to personal data ensures it is handled only by authorized personnel.

While we strive for maximum protection, no online method is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and monitor your accounts.
