Privacy Policy

We collect two categories of information: information you provide voluntarily, and information collected automatically through your use of the website.

Information you provide: When you use the contact form on our website, you provide your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. We receive this information via email when you submit the form. We do not store form submissions in a database on our servers.

Information collected automatically: When you visit our website, our web hosting provider may log standard server information including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected for security and operational purposes.

Cookies and local storage: We use cookies to store your cookie consent preference. Additional details about cookies are provided in our Cookie Policy. We do not use tracking cookies that follow you across other websites.

Information you provide through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to any mailing list. We do not share contact form submissions with third parties.

Server log information is used to maintain the security and operational stability of the website. It is not used for profiling or behavioral analysis.

Cookie consent preferences are stored locally on your device to prevent repeated display of the consent banner. This data does not leave your device.

We do not use your information for advertising targeting, automated decision-making, or any commercial purpose. The legal basis for processing contact form data is your consent, provided by voluntarily submitting the form. The legal basis for server logging is our legitimate interest in maintaining website security.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We do not share your personal information with data brokers or advertising networks.

We may disclose personal information in the following limited circumstances: (a) when required by law, court order, or other legal process; (b) to protect the rights, property, or safety of this website, its operators, or others; (c) with service providers who assist in website hosting, provided such providers are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations.

Our website hosting provider may have access to server log data as part of providing hosting services. We select hosting providers with appropriate data protection practices.

This website does not currently use third-party analytics services that collect personally identifiable information.

Contact form submissions received via email are retained for as long as the correspondence is relevant or for a period not exceeding two years, whichever is shorter. We periodically review and delete email correspondence that is no longer needed.

Server log files are retained for a period not exceeding 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymized by our hosting provider.

Cookie consent preferences stored on your device persist until you clear your browser cookies or until the cookie expires, whichever occurs first. Our consent cookie is set with a one-year expiration period.

When data is no longer required for the purposes described in this Policy, it is deleted or anonymized in accordance with standard data hygiene practices.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), or other applicable state privacy laws.

These rights may include: the right to know what personal information is collected about you; the right to request deletion of your personal information; the right to correct inaccurate personal information; the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information); the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

This website is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our content is technical educational material intended for adult professionals.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information to this website are encouraged to contact us at [email protected].

This website complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to the extent applicable.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls for our email and hosting systems, and regular review of our data handling practices.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by this website. You transmit information to us at your own risk.

In the event of a data breach that creates a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals as required by applicable law.

Our website content may reference or link to third-party websites including software download pages and platform documentation. We have no control over the privacy practices of those external sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy policies.

When you click a link to a third-party website, you leave our site and are subject to that website's own terms and privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

Our website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. Google Maps is subject to Google's own privacy policy. When the Google Maps iframe loads, Google may collect data in accordance with their policies. We embed the map with the no-referrer policy attribute applied where technically feasible.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes to this Policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
