What Personal Information we Collect
If you contact us, we collect the information you provide to us.
We may also collect certain usage data automatically through the use of cookies and similar technologies. This usage data may include your device’s IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit on our website, the time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. When accessing the website from a mobile device, additional data may be collected, such as your mobile device type, unique device ID, mobile operating system, mobile browser type, and diagnostic data. We may also collect information your browser sends whenever you visit our website.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. These technologies may include browser cookies, web beacons, tags, and scripts that help us analyze and improve the performance and functionality of our website.
Cookies are small files placed on your device. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you do not accept cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly. Our site may also use web beacons—small electronic files (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) - which help us count users who have visited specific pages or gather other related statistics.
We use essential and functional cookies. In addition, we utilize certain analytics and advertising services that may place their own tracking and performance cookies or web beacons. These third-party cookies help track traffic and user behavior on the website. The data collected by these cookies may identify you indirectly, typically through a pseudonymous identifier tied to your device.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your personal information to operate, maintain, and improve our website and services. This includes responding to your inquiries or communications.
We may also use the collected data to enhance the usability and functionality of the website and to contact you if requested.
In some cases, we may use personal information in a way that does not specifically identify you or allow direct contact, but does provide statistical insights about our users as a whole (for example, reporting the number of unique visitors, most viewed pages, or general usage trends to third parties).
Who We Share Your Personal Information With
We may share your information with third-party service providers that support our operations.
For instance, we may work with third-party advertising networks such as Google Ads to display advertising on other websites. These partners may use cookies and web beacons to gather data about your browsing activity across various sites to serve you ads that align with your interests. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you may opt out using Google's Opt-out link. Please note that opting out does not eliminate all advertising - it will simply be less tailored to your interests.
We may also use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to monitor and analyze usage of our website. Google Analytics tracks website traffic and shares collected data with other Google services. This data may be used to personalize ads on Google’s advertising network. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information about Google’s privacy practices, please visit the Google Privacy webpage.
Some pages on this website may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the external site directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you are logged into an account on those websites. This includes the use of services such as the Google Maps API, which is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
We also share information we process with third-party infrastructure providers, such as hosting providers and content delivery networks, and web application firewalls.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We retain usage data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
