We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, provided that
those parties agree to keep this information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify (e.g., hosting providers, payment processors). We will only share the
minimum necessary information required for them to perform their services.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

6. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of
transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
