We restrict access to your personal data to authorized personnel who need it to fulfill your request or maintain our services.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics (integrated via Firebase) to collect anonymized usage data. This helps us understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve the experience. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information such as:

  • Browser and device type
  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)

Google Analytics data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not use cookies for advertising or retargeting purposes.

These third-party providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review their policies. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • Contact form submissions -- retained for up to 24 months after your last interaction with us, unless a longer retention period is required for ongoing business relationships or legal obligations
