4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Email Service to process contact form submissions. Your form data is transmitted through AWS infrastructure solely for the purpose of delivering email notifications.
• Analytics Providers: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics.
• Security Providers: We use Cloudflare for site performance, security, and bot protection (Turnstile).
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We use:

• Google Analytics cookies for anonymized website traffic analysis.
• Cloudflare cookies for security, performance, and bot detection (Turnstile).

We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain the personal information collected through contact form submissions for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, typically no longer than 24 months after your last interaction with us, unless a longer retention period is required by law or a continuing business relationship.

Anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify you.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect, including:

• Encrypted transmission of form data (HTTPS/TLS).
• Cloudflare bot protection on all form submissions.
• Rate-limited form submissions to prevent abuse.
• Server-side input validation and sanitization.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
