Certain third-party service providers may collect and process personal data on our behalf, such as email marketing platforms, analytics providers, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to use personal information only as necessary to perform their designated services.

Users should be aware that third-party providers may operate in jurisdictions outside their country of residence. When users proceed with transactions involving third-party providers, their data may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

Personal information is stored on encrypted servers protected by firewall technology. Payment transactions are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to ensure the security of financial data.

Despite our efforts to implement best practices in data protection, no method of transmission over the Internet is entirely secure. Users acknowledge that they provide personal information at their own risk and agree that Center For Death Education, LLC is not liable for any unauthorized access, security breaches, or data loss beyond our reasonable control.
