5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers when necessary to operate our business and provide services to you.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may contact us to request updates or corrections to certain personal information associated with your account or communications with us.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings and use available browser or device controls to limit certain tracking technologies.

Because we do not currently send general marketing or newsletter emails, our email communications are primarily related to customer inquiries, quotes, accounts, orders, and other business communications.
