We may also disclose your information to legal and regulatory authorities when required by law. We do not disclose your information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Your Privacy Rights
You have several rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to know what personal information we’ve collected about you, including the categories of information, purposes of collection, and third parties with whom we’ve shared it. You can request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions such as completing your requested services. If you find any inaccuracies in your personal information, you have the right to request corrections. While we don’t sell your information, you can opt-out of certain data sharing practices.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information for a period of 5 years from the date of collection.
