3. Sharing Your Information
We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

4. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.
