We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Payment processors: We share necessary payment information with our third-party payment processor to complete transactions securely. These processors are contractually bound to protect your data.
- Service providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Site, sending communications, or managing registrations, solely for the purpose of providing those services.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or the safety of others.

- Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
