We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the personal information we collect from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. These measures are appropriate to the volume and nature of the personal data processed. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

5. Your Choices and Rights

You have certain rights regarding your personal information, subject to applicable laws. As a Texas-based company, we aim to comply with the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) and other relevant state and federal laws.

• Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising/Sale: While we do not "sell" your email address in the traditional sense, if our use of cookies or other tracking technologies were to be considered "sharing" or "selling" for targeted advertising purposes under certain state laws (like the TDPSA), you would have the right to opt-out.
