We may share minimal data with trusted infrastructure providers (such as web hosting, CDN, and DDoS mitigation providers) strictly for the purpose of keeping the website operational and secure.

13. Data Security Measures

We utilize industry-standard security safeguards, including HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption), modern server firewalls, and regular software patches. However, no internet transmission is 100% immune to vulnerabilities, so we recommend cautious and responsible usage.
