Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share your personal information. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the collection and use of your information as described in our Privacy Policy.
You understand that despite our efforts to maintain the security of the Service, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or from the Service.
