  • Information you share with us through business inquiries, proposals, or professional correspondence.

  • Any other information you choose to provide.

Information collected automatically may include:

  • Device and browser information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs (e.g., Instagram, Google).

  • Usage information, such as pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and actions taken.

  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 4).

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site and run our business, such as hosting, email, and analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

  • Legal authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

4. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, and understand how visitors engage with our content. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly.

We use Google Analytics to collect information about Site usage. Google Analytics has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review at policies.google.com/privacy.
