Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our Site, including but not limited to:

• Name and email address when you submit a contact form or sign up for a newsletter.
• Any messages, feedback, or other information you send to us through the Site.

Information Collected Automatically

Hosting and security providers may process limited request metadata needed to deliver and protect the Site, including:

• Request information: IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page, and timestamp.
• Operational data: Delivery status, error data, and security events generated while serving a request.
• Retention: Infrastructure-log retention depends on provider terms, plan settings, security needs, and law.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
• To respond to your inquiries, comments, or requests.
• To maintain reliability and improve useful Site content.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our terms of service.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site asks for your choice before loading Google Analytics. Declining analytics does not limit access to the Site. Essential delivery and security mechanisms may still be used by our hosting providers.

Our current configuration is:

• Consent preference: Your analytics choice is stored in your browser's local storage so the Site can remember it. You can change that choice through the Privacy choices button.
• Analytics: Google Analytics loads only after you select Accept analytics. Microsoft Clarity is not enabled.
• Advertising: Google AdSense is not currently enabled, and the Site does not currently serve personalized ads.

When accepted, Google Analytics may set first-party _gacookies and collect page paths, referral information, approximate location, browser and device information, and usage events. For a commercial tool click, we send only the tool's internal slug and the page placement. We do not send the destination URL, its query string, link text, contact-form contents, or a person's name or email address in that custom event.

Advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization, Google Signals, and ad-personalization signals remain disabled in our implementation. Google may process the connection's IP address to route the request and derive approximate location; Google states that GA4 discards IP addresses before they are logged. Analytics retention depends on our Google Analytics property settings and Google's terms, so we do not promise immediate deletion or zero retention.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

4. Advertising Status

Google AdSense is not currently enabled. Publisher ID pub-7171402107622932 may remain in ads.txt or public metadata solely for ownership verification; that identifier does not itself place cookies or serve advertisements.

If advertising is enabled later, we will first update this notice, satisfy applicable platform requirements, and provide any consent or opt-out controls required for the intended markets.

5. Affiliate Links

The Site does not currently publish a verified tracked affiliate link. Existing commercial destinations are ordinary vendor URLs and are not treated as affiliate referrals.

If a tracked affiliate relationship is approved later, this notice and the relevant page disclosure will be updated before the link is published. The affiliate provider may then process referral information under its own privacy policy.

6. Third-Party Services

Third parties may process information in the following situations:

• Hosting and security: Providers may process request metadata to deliver the Site, prevent abuse, and retain operational logs under their own terms and our settings.
• Optional Google services: Google Analytics is enabled only after your affirmative choice. Google AdSense is not currently enabled, as described above.
• Affiliate networks: No verified affiliate network tracking link is currently published. This notice will be updated before one is enabled.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Your Rights

General Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Object to or restrict the processing of your personal data.
• Request portability of your personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Rights Under the GDPR (European Economic Area)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data; restrict or object to processing; and data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We process your data based on legitimate interests, consent, or contractual necessity.

Rights Under the CCPA (California)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with the right to know what personal information is collected, disclosed, or sold; the right to request deletion of your personal information; and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact section below.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.

11. Your Privacy Rights Under Maryland Law (MODPA)

As of April 1, 2026, Maryland residents have specific rights under the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA). MODPA is among the strictest US state privacy laws: it requires data minimization (collect only what is strictly necessary), bans the sale of sensitive data with no consent override, and mandates honoring the Global Privacy Control signal.

Your rights under MODPA:

• Right to access the personal data we hold about you
• Right to correct inaccurate personal data
• Right to delete your personal data
• Right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling
• Right to portability of your data in a machine-readable format

The Site does not currently sell personal data or run targeted advertising. If processing subject to an opt-out is introduced later, we will honor applicable Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and add any additional required controls.

We do not sell sensitive personal data under any circumstance.

To exercise your MODPA rights, contact us at the email listed in our Contact section below. We respond within 45 days.
