4. Who We Share Personal Information With
We may share your personal information as follows:
- With our service providers and vendors who perform business‑ or operational‑related functions on our behalf (for example, payment processors, hosting providers, analytics vendors, marketing platforms, customer service tools). These parties are authorised to use your data only as necessary to provide these services to us.
- With affiliates or partners when required for fulfilling a requested service, or if you direct us to do so.
- With third parties, where required by law (for example, to respond to subpoenas, legal processes, governmental requests), to enforce our rights, or to protect the safety of users or the public.
- In connection with a business transfer, merger, acquisition or sale of all or part of our business or assets — in which case personal information will be one of the transferred assets, subject to the protections in this Policy.
- We do not sell your personal information to third‑party marketers without your explicit consent.
5. SMS / Text Message Consent
If you’ve provided your mobile number and consent to receive SMS/text message communications from us, please note that:
- Your SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing purposes.

- We include a link to this Privacy Policy near the SMS consent solicitation on all relevant web forms, and we include a link to this Privacy Policy in the footer of every page of our Website to ensure it is easily accessible and prominently available.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies on our Website to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, authenticate you, deliver content and advertising, analyse usage patterns, and for other operational purposes. You may disable or block cookies via your browser settings, but doing so may affect your ability to use some features of our Website.
7. International Data Transfers
Because our operations and service providers may be located in or use servers in other countries (including the United States), your personal information may be transferred to, stored and processed outside your country of residence.
