II. What Data We Collect
Our data collection falls into two categories:
– Directly Provided Information: When you interact with our site—registering an account, filling out a survey, or signing up for a newsletter—you may provide information such as your name, email address, and other personal details.
– Automatically Gathered Data: We collect non-personal information automatically through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, device details, browser settings, and usage data such as pages visited and time spent online.

IV. Cookies and Tracking Mechanisms
Cookies and similar tracking tools are integral to our data collection. They enable us to remember your preferences, track your activity, and collect aggregate data that informs improvements to our website. Cookies may be session-specific or persist on your device for a predetermined period. You have the option to disable cookies via your browser settings; however, this might limit your access to certain features.
V. Security Measures and Data Protection
We employ a variety of robust security measures to safeguard your personal information. These include data encryption, secure server configurations, and regular security audits. Although we take every precaution to protect your data, we cannot guarantee complete security due to inherent risks in online communication. In the event of a security incident, we have protocols in place to mitigate harm and notify users as appropriate.
VI. Data Retention and Lifecycle
We retain your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with our legal obligations. When data is no longer needed, we ensure its secure deletion or anonymization to prevent any future identification. This systematic approach minimizes risk and aligns with best practices in data management.
VII. Your Rights and Control Options
You have a right to control your personal data. This includes the ability to request access to, update, or delete your information. Our website provides user-friendly mechanisms for managing these rights, and we commit to processing your requests in a timely manner in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Your information may be shared with select third-party service providers that help us operate and enhance our website. Such partners are obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data and are restricted to using it only for the purposes we designate. We do not disclose your personal data to external parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, except when legally required.
