This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you visit our website or interact with us. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We collect information in the following ways:

a. Information You Provide

When you use our contact form (powered by Gravity Forms), you may voluntarily provide us with personal information such as:

Your name
Email address
Any additional details you include in your message

This information is submitted through the form and stored securely on our server.

b. Automatically Collected Information

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with our website. This may include:

Your IP address
Browser type and version
Pages you visit on our site
Time spent on pages
Referring website or link

This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We do not overtly track individual users beyond what is described here.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Contact Form Submissions: To respond to your inquiries or messages submitted through our form.
Website Improvement: Google Analytics data helps us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve its performance, content, and user experience.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except as described in this policy or required by law.

3. Third-Party Services

a. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc., to collect and analyze usage data. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to track your interaction with our website. The information collected is anonymized and used to generate reports about site activity. For more details, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.

b. Gravity Forms

Our contact forms are powered by Gravity Forms. When you submit a form, your data is sent to our server and stored there. Gravity Forms does not collect or store your data on its own servers unless explicitly configured to do so, which we do not use.

4. Data Storage and Security

Form submissions are stored on our secure server. We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including encryption, access controls, and regular security updates. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies via Google Analytics to track visitor behavior. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze site usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may affect your experience on our site.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as:

Accessing the data we hold about you
Requesting corrections or deletion of your data
Opting out of certain data collection

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below. If you submitted a form, we can delete your data upon request, though we do not proactively track or link it to you beyond your submission.

7. Retention of Data

We retain contact form submissions indefinitely unless you request deletion. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google’s default settings (typically 26 months) before being automatically deleted.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
