2. Information We Collect

• Automatically collected: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, referring pages, time on site, and similar telemetry through server logs and privacy-respecting analytics.
• Cookies and similar technologies: essential cookies to operate the Site and, where applicable, optional analytics cookies. See Section 7.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (e.g., government IDs, financial account numbers, health data) through the Site.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to: (a) operate, maintain, and secure the Site; (b) respond to your inquiries; (c) understand and improve visitor experience; (d) comply with legal obligations; and (e) protect against fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK/EEA)

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases: consent (for optional cookies and marketing), legitimate interests (site security, analytics, responding to inquiries), contract (fulfilling requests you initiate), and legal obligation (compliance).

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with: (a) service providers who host the Site, provide analytics, or deliver email (bound by confidentiality); (b) authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights and safety; and (c) parties in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.

6. International Data Transfers

The Site is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S. and other jurisdictions that may have different data-protection standards. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Contact-form messages are typically retained for up to 24 months.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal information; object to processing; withdraw consent at any time; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know, delete, correct, and limit use of sensitive personal information, and the right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing." We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA.
