3. Sharing of Personal Information

We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who assist us with our operations. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which we provide it.

Our Website uses Google Analytics to help us analyze how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address and other online identifiers.

This data is sent in a pseudonymized, one-way hashed format (SHA256) and cannot be un-hashed by Google or any third party. This process is designed to improve the accuracy of our audience measurement and conversion data in a privacy-preserving manner.

The data collected by Google is subject to the Google Advertising Features Policy. You can access and manage or delete this data via your Google "My Activity" portal. Please refer to Google’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle your data.
