Information We Collect
We collect information that helps us provide better service and protect our website. This includes technical information your browser automatically sends when you visit any website, such as your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. We also collect any information you choose to provide when contacting us through forms or email.
When you visit our website, we may use cookies to remember your preferences and improve your experience. You can control these through your browser settings, though some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve our website, respond to your inquiries, and provide the services you request. We may also analyze website usage patterns to better understand how visitors use our site and to identify potential security issues.
We will not use your personal information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. If you provide your email address, we may use it to respond to your inquiries or provide information you specifically requested.
Legal Basis for Processing
For visitors from the European Union, we process your personal data based on legitimate interests for website operation and security, your consent when you provide information voluntarily, contractual necessity when providing requested services, and legal obligations where required by law.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate our website, such as hosting companies and analytics services, but only to the extent necessary for these purposes. These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
We may disclose information if required by law, such as responding to a court order or legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
If you are located outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including standard contractual clauses where required by law.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Website analytics data is typically retained for up to 26 months, while information from contact forms may be retained for up to three years to maintain business records.
Your Privacy Rights

Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or 16 in the European Union). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
