5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and support our advertising. You can control cookies through our cookie consent banner and through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the website functions.
6. Analytics and Advertising
We use third-party analytics and advertising services, which may include Google Analytics, Google Ads, and social media advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram). These providers may set cookies or use similar technologies to help us understand website traffic, measure campaigns, and show relevant ads, including retargeting ads to people who have visited our website. These third parties process data under their own privacy policies.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (such as hosting, analytics, email, and advertising platforms), under appropriate confidentiality obligations.

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to inquiries, provide services, and meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your data, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.
U.S. residents (including California): You may have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
EEA/UK visitors: You may exercise the rights described above and have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
