Where required by law, we will present a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. ## 7. Data Security We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure hosting infrastructure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. ## 8. International Data Transfers If we transfer personal information across borders (e.g., to service providers located outside your country), we will implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, where required by applicable law. ## 9.
