Your privacy matters to us, and this Privacy Policy explains in clear, practical terms how we handle your personal information when you visit or use our website and services. When we say “personal information,” we mean any data that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, IP address, device identifiers, or certain cookie and usage data. We collect and process this information to operate our site, deliver content and features you request, improve performance, maintain security, and comply with our legal obligations. While this document aims to be thorough and readable, it is not a contract and does not create any legal rights beyond those available under applicable law; if you have questions about your specific circumstances, you should consult qualified counsel.

We collect information in three main ways: information you provide, information we automatically gather, and information from third parties. Information you provide includes details submitted through contact forms, account or subscription sign‑ups, comment fields, survey responses, or when you otherwise communicate with us. Information collected automatically may include log data, IP address, browser type and version, general location derived from your IP, pages you view, time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages, and similar diagnostic or analytics data. Where enabled, cookies and similar technologies (like local storage or pixels) help remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and measure how you interact with features so we can maintain and improve the site. We may also receive limited information about you from service providers that help us with hosting, analytics, email delivery, payments, advertising, or security.

We use your information for several legitimate and necessary purposes: to provide and personalize the website and its features, to respond to inquiries and support requests, to send administrative communications (such as service announcements or policy updates), and to measure and improve the performance, reliability, and usability of our services. We may analyze aggregated or de‑identified data to understand trends, diagnose issues, plan capacity, and enhance security. When we send optional marketing or newsletter content, we do so in line with your choices and applicable law, and you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by contacting us directly. We do not sell your personal information, but we may share it with trusted processors and partners who assist in operating our site and delivering functionality, each bound by obligations to protect your data and use it only for our instructions.

Cookies and similar technologies help our site function correctly and allow us to remember your settings, such as language or display preferences, so you do not have to re‑enter them each time you visit. Functional cookies are typically essential for basic operations like page navigation and secure access to certain areas, while performance or analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with content so we can improve it. Where applicable, we present consent tools that allow you to accept, reject, or fine‑tune cookie categories, and you can also manage cookies through your browser controls, noting that disabling some cookies may affect the availability or quality of certain features. For more information about third‑party analytics or embedded content, consult their respective privacy disclosures, as their processing may be subject to separate policies and controls.

We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, role‑based permissions, logging, backups, and regular review of vendors and infrastructure. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; however, we continuously assess our safeguards and adjust them to reflect evolving risks, industry standards, and regulatory expectations. If we become aware of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will investigate promptly and, where required by law, notify you and the appropriate authorities.

We may share personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, content delivery, analytics, customer support, email distribution, payment processing, advertising measurement, and security monitoring. These providers are authorized to access personal information only as necessary to perform services for us and are prohibited from using it for other purposes. We may also disclose information when required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or governmental request; to enforce our terms; to protect our operations or users; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, in which case the successor entity will assume the rights and obligations described in this Policy. Where we share de‑identified or aggregated data, we take steps to ensure that it cannot reasonably be used to re‑identify individuals.

Our services may include links to third‑party websites, plug‑ins, or embedded features that are not operated or controlled by us. When you interact with these elements, the third party may collect information about you independently of our site, and their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of third parties, and we encourage you to review the relevant policies before providing information or enabling integrations. If you believe a link on our site leads to content that raises privacy or security concerns, please let us know so we can review it.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, including providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal, tax, or regulatory requirements. The specific retention period can vary depending on the type of data and the context in which it was collected; for example, communications you send us may be retained as part of our support records, while analytics data may be stored only in aggregate form after a defined period. When information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will either delete it or take steps to properly de‑identify it, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. If you request deletion, we will consider your request in light of our legal obligations and legitimate interests, and we will let you know the outcome.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to processing, and data portability. You may also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. We will honor verified requests in accordance with applicable law and may need to request additional information to confirm your identity and protect your privacy. To exercise these rights or to ask questions about how we handle your data, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this Policy; we will respond within a reasonable timeframe consistent with legal requirements.

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to remove the information and, if necessary, disable the related account or interaction. We encourage parents and guardians to speak with their children about safe and responsible use of the internet.

Because we operate online, your personal information may be processed in, or transferred to, countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction. When we transfer personal information internationally, we take steps designed to ensure an appropriate level of protection consistent with applicable law, which may include using standard contractual clauses, relying on adequacy decisions, or implementing other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. Our service providers may likewise process data in multiple locations to deliver resilient and performant services. By using our site, you understand that your information may be transferred, stored, and processed outside your country of residence subject to appropriate safeguards.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other operational considerations. When we make material changes, we will take steps to notify you by updating the “Effective date” at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice such as a banner or email. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information and the choices available to you. Your continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy to the extent permitted by law.
