​

Third-Party Service Providers. We use third-party services to perform certain functions on our website. Some of these functions and services include hosting the website, processing payments (Wix Payments, Stax Payments), sending emails including marketing emails, displaying reviews (Google Reviews), and analyzing data.

​

These third-party services and tools may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use that information for other purposes. Information shared with these third-party services will be treated and stored in accordance with their respective privacy policies and our privacy policy.

We grant access to your personal information only to those outside persons or services that have a legitimate need to know it and in accordance with our privacy policy.

We undertake not to sell, distribute, or transfer your personal data to unauthorized third parties unless we have your explicit consent or are required by law to do so.
