Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All data transmission is encrypted using TLS/SSL
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt
  • Database connections are encrypted and access-controlled
  • Regular security audits and updates

  • Provide our services and maintain your account
  • Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax records)
