WHY WE DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We may share Your information with third parties in certain situations.

The legal basis for Our disclosure of Your data is both Your Consent to this Privacy Policy and Our own right to protect and promote Our legitimate business interests.
The following are specific reasons why We may share Your information:
Third Party Processing: We may disclose Your information to third parties who assist Us with various tasks, including payment processing, hosting services, email delivery, communications, and customer service. We may not always disclose these third-party processors if not required by law. We do not authorize them to use or disclose Your personal information except in connection with providing Our company with their services.

To Protect Our Company: We may use Your information to protect Our company, including to investigate and remedy any violations of Our rights or policies. We may also disclose Your information as reasonably necessary to acquire and maintain insurance coverage, manage risks, obtain financial or legal advice, or to exercise or defend against legal claims.
Business Transfers: In the unlikely event Our company engages in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy proceedings, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding, We may transfer or share Your data as part of that proceeding. In such transitions, customer information is one of the business assets that is acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such business transfers may occur and that Your personal information can continue to be stored, used, or processed as otherwise set forth in this privacy policy.
Interaction With Others: If You interact with others on Our website or mobile app, such as participating in a group chat or a group online course, other users may have access to some of Your data, including Your name, profile picture, and Your history of interaction with Our website, such as prior comments or posts.
Online Postings: When You post online, Your posts may be viewed by others, and We may distribute Your comments outside the website.

Although We use reasonable care in including a hyperlink on Our own web page, We do not regularly monitor the websites of these third parties, are not responsible for any damage or consequences You sustain by using these hyperlinks. We are not liable for any unauthorized or illegal use of information that is transmitted to or from other websites.
Retaining Your information: We will retain Your personal information for as long as necessary to provide Our services to You, comply with Our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce Our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time.
SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We take the security of Your information seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel, and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse. However, please be aware that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information. We cannot assume responsibility or liability for unauthorized access to Our facilities, hacking, data breaches, or other breaches of security of the information You provide to Us.
DATA BREACH
In the event We become aware that the security of the website has been compromised or Users’ personal information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, We reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, We will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if We believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When We do, We will post a notice on the website.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If Our company decides to change this privacy policy, We will post those changes on the website so Our Users and customers are always aware of what information We collect, use, and disclose. If at any time We decide to disclose or use Your personally identifiable information in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, We will provide advance notice by email (sent to the email address on file in Your account). Otherwise, We will use and disclose Our Users’ and customers’ personally identifiable information in agreement with the privacy policy that was in effect when the information was collected.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN PRIVACY
