5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we collect in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis (e.g., Google Analytics), email delivery (for newsletters), and customer service. These providers have access to your personal information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves, our users, or others.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Information might be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

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

Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.

The security of your data is important to us. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect and process. Measures we use include using HTTPS for data transmission. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
