3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, such as email delivery services, hosting providers, and analytics platforms. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
