The Site may include links to third-party websites. Their privacy practices apply once you leave our Site.

The Site may also include embedded content (e.g., videos or social posts). Embedded content may collect data through the third party’s tools and cookies, as if you visited their site directly. We do not control that collection.

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including security and legal needs.

If you request deletion, we will delete what we reasonably can unless we must retain certain information for legal or operational reasons.
