24. Certain parts of the Websites (such as those where you need to provide us with your credit card number) provide you with the option to send information to our Websites in encrypted form using Transport Layer Security (TLS). No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

28. If you request us not to use your personal information in a particular way or not at all, we will take reasonable steps to comply with your request, but we may, to the extent permitted by law, still use or disclose your information if you subsequently consent to the disclosure, or we believe that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary to assist a law enforcement agency or as otherwise required or permitted by law. If you know that the information we have about you is not correct or complete, please inform us. We will respond to access requests within 30 days.

29. We will retain your information for as long as your subscription is active or as long as necessary to provide you with services. We will retain and use your data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
