We may disclose your personal information if required by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities (e.g., food safety inspections, subpoenas, or court orders).

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of the business transaction.

4. Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement various measures to protect your personal information, including:

Encryption

Access Control

Access to personal information is limited to authorised personnel who require it to perform their duties.

Regular Audits

We conduct regular security assessments to ensure data protection.

Despite our efforts, no data transmission over the Internet or storage system is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
