We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including secure hosting and restricted access to sensitive data (such as Vendor payout details). However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

However, we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for the purpose of creating independent accounts or making purchases without the involvement of a parent or guardian.
