This information helps us analyse trends and improve the functionality and performance of our Site.

The information we collect is used for several purposes. We may use personal information to communicate with you, respond to inquiries, send promotional materials (if you have opted in), and improve the overall user experience on our Site. Additionally, we may use non-personal information to analyse website traffic and trends, optimize content, and enhance Site functionality. If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we may use your email address to send updates, offers, or other marketing communications. You can unsubscribe from these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link provided in each email.

We may also use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our Site. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit the Site.

To ensure the security of your personal data, we employ a range of security measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of your information. While we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your data, it is important to understand that no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with third-party service providers who assist us with various operations, such as website maintenance, email marketing, or analytics. These third-party service providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any other purposes. Additionally, we may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or legal process, or in response to a legitimate request by public authorities.
