General

We understand your concerns about how your information is collected and used. This Privacy Policy will acquaint you with our guidelines so that you can make an informed decision regarding your use of our website or any related social media.

Our overall position regarding data privacy is to collect only that which is necessary to accommodate whatever it is you have requested from us, for example, to send you a document. We are also committed to doing whatever we can to abide by what has become a byzantine array of privacy regulations. IN A NUTSHELL, WE DO NOT SHARE, SEND, DISCLOSE, SELL, OR RENT ANY INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU GIVE US PERMISSION TO DO SO OR WE ARE COMPELLED BY LAW.

This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to any data collected by us during your use of our website or any related social media. Please be sure to read it carefully and ensure that you understand it fully. YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE TERMS WHEN YOU FIRST USE OUR WEBSITE OR ANY RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA. You should not use the website or any related social media if you are unwilling to accept the substance of the Policy.

We collect and process information in ways that are consistent with your rights and our obligations under the law. Namely, we collect data:

  1. When you give specific and express consent for us to do so.

  2. When necessary for the performance of a contract or other agreement to which you are a party.

  3. When necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

  4. When necessary to protect your vital interests or that of another natural person.

The only interactive feature currently found on our website is the contact form; therefore, information collected from you is limited to your name, email address, and message content. It is not possible to comment, register, or otherwise store data on our website.

Personal Information Collected on the Website

NO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION IS EVER COLLECTED BY US WHEN YOU BROWSE OUR WEBSITE OR ANY RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA. The only personally identifiable information ever collected on our website is when YOU fill out and forward the contact form. We collect this information so that we can respond to your comments or questions or send you the information you may have requested.

Cookies

We use cookies, small text files placed on your computer or device by our website, to understand the user experience better and make improvements. The cookies do not store any personally identifiable information about you. Most browsers accept cookies automatically; however, you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, some of the features of our website may not function as well.

Anonymous Information Collected on the Website

We use Google Analytics periodically for statistical purposes and to provide a better user experience. Google Analytics records pages visited, the name of your internet service provider, the website that you used to link to our website, basic demographic information, websites that you may visit from our website, and your internet protocol address. These data are anonymous, and no personally identifiable information is collected. For additional information, please visit Google’s analytics page.

Embedded Content and Links to Third-Party Websites

OUR WEBSITE OR ANY RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA MAY CONTAIN EMBEDDED CONTENT (E.G., VIDEOS, IMAGES, ARTICLES, ETC. FROM THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES). Embedded content behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, or monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

OUR WEBSITE OR ANY RELATED SOCIAL MEDIA MAY CONTAIN LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES. We do not claim nor accept responsibility for any privacy policies, practices, or procedures of these websites. Therefore, if you choose to visit one of these websites, we encourage you to read and understand their privacy policies. This Policy applies only and solely to the information collected by OUR website and any related social media.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Anonymous user data collected using Google Analytics may be retained for the current system limit of up to 26 months. Information submitted through forms is retained until such a time as you choose to invoke your right under the General Data Protection Regulation to be forgotten.

You can request that we erase any personal data we have about you at any time, including any data you have provided to us. This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Please contact me with any requests to delete data.

Rights of California Residents

If you reside in California, the California Consumer Protection Act gives you the right to ask if we sell or disclose your personal information to third parties. WE DO NOT SELL PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES, AND WE HAVE NOT SOLD PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE PAST. California law also gives you the right to opt out of such sales; however, in this case, it’s a moot point because we don’t do that.

Additional Rights of EEA (European Economic Area) Residents

If you are a resident of a country in the EEA, you have additional rights to (a) access your personal data, (b) ensure the accuracy of your personal data, (c) have us delete your personal data, (d) restrict further processing of your personal data, and (e) complain to a supervisory authority in your country of residence responsible for data protection in the event you believe your data are being misused.

Please contact me with any questions or to exercise any of the aforementioned rights.
