3. Cookies, Tracking & Analytics

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to:

  • Recognize and maintain your session
  • Customize or enhance your experience
  • Analyze how users navigate and use our site
  • Measure and optimize marketing performance

You may configure your browser to refuse or block cookies, but doing so may restrict access to certain features of the site.

Third-Party Analytics & Advertising

We partner with third-party services (for example, Google Analytics) that use tracking technologies to collect anonymous or pseudonymous data about your activity on our site. These providers may use this information for analytics, measuring usage and performance, and serving relevant advertising.

If available, you may opt out of some analytics (e.g. via Google’s opt-out tools) or control preferences through cookie banners or browser settings.

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We do not rent or sell your personal information. We may share information in the following ways:

  • Service providers / processors: third parties who perform services on our behalf (payment processing, email, analytics, hosting, etc.). These entities are contractually bound to protect your data.

We may also share aggregated, anonymized data (that cannot reasonably identify individuals) freely.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your personal data only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected (or as required by law). After that:

  • We will delete or anonymize your data
  • If deletion is infeasible (e.g. backup or archival systems), we will isolate it and restrict access, using it only for legal or compliance purposes

If you request deletion and it does not conflict with our legal obligations (e.g. recordkeeping, dispute resolution), we will comply and certify completion.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include:

  • Access controls and role-based permissions
  • Firewalls, intrusion detection, network protection
  • Regular backups, audits, and monitoring
  • Staff training and confidentiality obligations

No security system is perfect. If you suspect unauthorized access or misuse, please contact us immediately.
