As per these laws, we are obligated to disclose the applicable ground for each usage of your personal data within this policy. The following are the primary grounds that justify our use of your information:

We share Personal Information with third-parties who are performing services for the Company, such as the servers for our email communications who are provided access to user’s email address for purposes of sending emails from us.

We suggest that you check the Site periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.


3. How we protect information

By using our Service, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.

Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. We will explicitly ask you when we need information to identify you. We may require you to cooperate with our security checks before we disclose information to you. We will retain Your Information for a reasonable period or for as long as is required by law.
