Information Protection
When you enter sensitive information, such as credit card details, on our website or app, we secure it using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. For online purchases, your credit card number is encrypted and securely transmitted to our payment processor, Stripe, for processing. Our employees do not have access to your full credit card information, and we do not store PIN data or 3-digit security codes.
To protect your personal information, we apply rigorous technical and organizational safeguards to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of your data—both during transmission and after receipt. However, while we work to provide high-level security, no data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

These Cookies help us understand your preferences, enhance your experience, and improve our services. For more details on the types of Cookies used by us and our partners, the purposes they serve, and how you can manage your Cookie settings, please refer to our Cookies Policy.
