When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, the platform provider’s privacy policy will apply to your interactions and their collection, use and processing of your personal information.

Other Sites and Services

Our Services may contain links to websites and other online services operated by third parties.

Security

We use reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures designed to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of personal information we maintain.

Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information.
