You may provide personal information directly when you:
- use a contact form
- sign up for a newsletter or updates

This information may include your name, email address, and any details you include in your message.
2. Basic technical information
Like most websites, the Site automatically receives limited technical data sent by your browser, such as:
- IP address and general location at a city or region level
- browser type and device type
- pages visited and time spent on pages
This helps us understand how the Site is used and improve content and usability.
Cookies
The Site may use simple cookies or similar technologies to:
- remember basic preferences
- support core site functionality
- understand overall traffic patterns in a general, non-personal way
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may not work as intended, but you can still access the Site.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- respond to inquiries or messages you send
- provide information about services you request
- send email updates or newsletters if you have opted in
- maintain, protect, and improve the Site
- address technical issues, spam, or misuse
- comply with legal obligations, when required
We do not use your information to build detailed behavioral profiles or for automated decision-making about you.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted third parties that help us operate the Site or deliver email communication, such as:
- website hosting and security providers
- email service tools used to send newsletters or contact form messages
They are allowed to use information only to perform services for us and are expected to keep it confidential.
We may also share information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of others.
Third-party links
The Site may contain links to other websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Security
We use reasonable measures to help protect the information we collect. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We do not collect or store credit card numbers on this Site. Any payments for services are handled off-site, through separate providers or arrangements.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we may retain some communication records for our business records and legal obligations.

Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can remove it.
