We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services to you:
- Information you provide directly: This includes personal data you voluntarily submit to us when you inquire about our services, engage in client onboarding, correspond with us via email or other channels, or use our online forms.

This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our site and hold certain information.

5. Security of Data
The security of your data is paramount to us. We implement a variety of security measures, including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards, to maintain the safety of your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
