By using our Site or services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of our Site and services.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

We do not process payments directly through our Site — any financial transactions are handled through secure, third-party invoicing platforms.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To analyze Site performance: Understanding how visitors use our Site to improve content, navigation, and user experience.
• To comply with legal obligations: Responding to lawful requests from public authorities, enforcing our terms, and protecting our rights.
• To protect our business: Detecting and preventing fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity.

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those disclosed in this policy without your consent.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and processing your personal information depends on the context:

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., newsletter subscription).
• Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests — such as responding to your inquiries, improving our services, and marketing our offerings — provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
• Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our Site and business — including hosting providers, analytics services, email platforms, and communication tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it solely for the services we've engaged them for.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental regulation — or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified via email or prominent notice on our Site of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data:

• Contact form submissions and correspondence: Retained for the duration of our business relationship plus a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
• Newsletter subscriptions: Retained until you unsubscribe.
• Analytics data: Retained in aggregated, anonymized form indefinitely for trend analysis.

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Secure server infrastructure with access controls and authentication
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning
• Employee training on data protection and privacy practices
• Incident response procedures in the event of a data breach

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
