8. Data Retention and Security
We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required for business, tax, and legal reasons. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
- Request access to or a copy of your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (we do not sell personal information)

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. California’s “Shine the Light” law also allows California residents to ask about disclosure of personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information for that purpose.
10. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no uniform standard for responding to these signals, the Website does not currently respond to them.
