3. Third-Party Services

We partner with trusted third-party service providers to handle payments, email communications, scheduling, analytics, hosting, advertising, and other services. These providers may process limited personal data on our behalf in accordance with their own privacy policies. We choose platforms that prioritize data security and regulatory compliance.

We only share data with these providers to the extent necessary to deliver specific services you’ve requested or agreed to.

4. Cookies and Tracking

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Enable basic site functionality
  • Understand how visitors use the site
  • Provide performance insights
  • Manage preferences (e.g., language settings or cookie consent)

You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings. If you are visiting from the EU or other regions with data consent requirements, you may be presented with a cookie banner.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes using secure third-party platforms, strong password and authentication protocols, and limiting access to sensitive systems. However, no internet-based service is completely secure, and use of our website is at your own risk.

8. International Transfers

Some of our third-party providers may process data outside your home country, including in jurisdictions without the same level of legal protections. Where required, we implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to ensure your data remains protected under applicable privacy laws.

Our services are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website or services after changes are made indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
