- Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors who assist in the operation of the Site (e.g., web hosting, payment processing, email services).

Payment processors use their own encryption methods and security measures to protect your payment information during transactions. By making a payment through our Site, you acknowledge and agree that your payment information will be processed according to the payment processor’s privacy policy.
