Data Security</h3><p>We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.</p><h3>7. Your Privacy Rights</h3><p>Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.</p><p><strong>European Economic Area and United Kingdom.</strong> If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.</p><p><strong>California and Other U.S. States.</strong> If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion or correction of your information, opt out of the sale or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising, opt out of profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and appeal a denial of a rights request.
