  • Business Transfers: In case of a merger or sale, your personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption and access controls. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot ensure full protection against unauthorised access.
