    Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is no uniform standard for responding to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we do not engage in cross-site tracking. We will update this policy if an industry-standard approach to DNT is established.

    14. Security

    We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information collected through the Site, including HTTPS encryption for all pages, secure hosting infrastructure, and access controls for internal systems. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    15. Links to Third-Party Websites

    The Site contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate retail partners, manufacturer websites, and reference sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any third-party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
