Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites that we don't own or control. While we strive to only link to reputable sites, we can't be responsible for their privacy practices.

Here are some tips for staying safe online when clicking on links:

• Be cautious with personal information: Think twice before sharing personal details on websites you don't recognize.

• Look for signs of a legitimate website:

  • Secure connection: A secure website will have a URL that starts with "https://" and a padlock symbol in the address bar.

  • Professional design: A well-designed website with clear branding and functioning navigation is a good sign.

  • Suspicious domain names: Avoid clicking on links with unusual symbols, misspellings, or generic top-level domains (like ".info" or ".biz") used for phishing attempts.

• Review privacy policies (when possible): Ideally, take a moment to review the website's privacy policy before entering personal information. However, we understand this isn't always practical.

• Search for reviews: If you're unsure about a website, do a quick online search to see if there are any user reviews or warnings about it.
