By providing us with your personal information, you consent to this disclosure. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient handles your personal information in accordance with the APPs.
8. Data Security
Our website is built on Next.js on Vercel and utilizes industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption and platform-level security controls, to protect data submitted via forms.
