4. Analytics, Cookies, and Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to deploy and manage website tags and analytics scripts. Google Tag Manager does not itself store personal information, but tools loaded through it may process data described in this policy.

Cookie technologies may support site functionality, traffic analytics, performance monitoring, and marketing attribution. Where required by law, we seek consent before placing non-essential cookies.

7. How We Share Information

We may disclose information to hosting providers, analytics and tag providers, email and communication tools, professional advisors, and authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless expressly disclosed by a dedicated consent banner.

8. International Data Transfers

Because visitors can contact us from anywhere in the world, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries different from your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

12. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

13. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no uniform standard for responding to these signals, our response may vary by technology and jurisdiction.
