4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our service and store certain information. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us improve your experience by remembering your preferences, understanding how you use our site, and delivering relevant content.

5. Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols, secure server infrastructure with firewalls, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, and secure data storage practices.
