Collection of Information

We collect personally identifiable information (PII)—such as your name, email address, or other contact details—only when you voluntarily provide it, such as when:

• Filling out forms
• Subscribing to our mailing lists
• Requesting services or information

We will only use this information to fulfill the specific purpose for which it was provided, unless you give us explicit permission to use it for other purposes (e.g., adding you to our mailing list).

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.

Cookie/Tracking Technology

Our website may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience. These may be used to:

• Identify browser type and operating system

Cookies do not collect personal information unless you have previously provided such data voluntarily. Aggregate, anonymized cookie data may be shared with trusted third parties for analytics purposes.

You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings.

Data Retention & Security

Your personally identifiable information is stored securely and is accessible only to authorized personnel who have agreed to keep the information confidential.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Third Party Links
Our website may include links to third-party websites. These external sites have their own independent privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. We welcome feedback about these sites if you experience issues.
