Privacy Policy
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you visit or interact with the Website. This policy complies with the CCPA/CPRA and applies to California residents.
Under the CCPA/CPRA, “personal information” (PI) means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
We do not “sell” your PI as defined under CCPA/CPRA. However, we may “share” certain PI for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you have the right to opt out (see “Your Rights” below).
Notice at Collection
At or before the point of collection, we notify you of the categories of PI we collect and the purposes for which it is used. See the “Data Collection” section below for details.
Data Collection
We collect the following categories of PI from you when you use the Website. In the past 12 months, we have collected these categories:
- Identifiers: Such as name, email address, IP address, or unique device identifiers (e.g., collected automatically via cookies or when you submit forms).
- Personal Information Categories Listed in the California Customer Records Statute: Such as contact details (e.g., phone number, postal address) if provided in forms or account creation.
- Commercial Information: Records of products or services considered or purchased, if applicable.
- Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity: Browsing history, search history, interactions with the Website (e.g., pages viewed, time spent), and device information (e.g., browser type, operating system).
- Geolocation Data: Approximate location derived from IP address (not precise geolocation).
- Inferences: Drawn from the above to create profiles about preferences or behavior.
Sources of Collection:
- Directly from you: When you submit search queries, forms, or contact us.
- Automatically: Via cookies, web beacons, or analytics tools when you browse.
- From third parties: Such as service providers for analytics or advertising.
Purposes for Collection:
- To provide and improve Website functionality (e.g., processing search queries).
- To personalize your experience.
- For analytics and performance monitoring.
- To comply with legal obligations.
- For security and fraud prevention.
We retain PI for as long as necessary to fulfill these purposes, typically up to 2 years, unless required longer by law.
Sharing with Third Parties
We may share your PI with third parties for specific business purposes. In the past 12 months, we have shared the following categories of PI:
- Identifiers and Internet Activity: Shared with analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to measure site performance and user engagement.
- Commercial Information and Inferences: Shared with advertising partners for targeted ads (this may constitute “sharing” under CCPA/CPRA for cross-context behavioral advertising).
Who We Share With:
- Service Providers: Such as hosting providers, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), and payment processors, bound by contracts to use data only for specified services.
- Business Partners: For joint marketing or features, with your consent where required.
- Legal and Compliance: To comply with laws, respond to subpoenas, or protect rights.
- In Business Transfers: If we merge, sell, or transfer assets.
We do not share PI with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent. For “sharing” in the context of targeted advertising, you can opt out via the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on our Website or by using Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.
We do not knowingly collect or share PI from children under 16 without affirmative consent.
Search Queries and Consent
By using the search function or other form functions on our Website and submitting a search query or submission forms, you expressly consent to the collection, processing, and sharing of that query (including its exact contents) as described in this Privacy Policy, regardless of your cookie preferences. This includes sharing anonymized or aggregated search data with third-party service providers, such as analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), to improve search relevancy, site performance, and user experience. Such processing is essential to providing the search functionality you request and occurs in real-time upon submission. If you do not consent to this, please do not use the search bar or submit information via our website. For more details on how we handle search data, see the sections on Data Collection and Sharing with Third Parties above.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can manage preferences via our cookie banner. Essential cookies are always active; others require consent. For California residents, opting out of sharing applies to these technologies.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures, such as encryption and access controls, to protect your PI. However, no system is completely secure.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
As a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your PI:
- Right to Know/Access: Request details on PI collected, categories, sources, purposes, and third parties shared with (twice per 12 months).
- Right to Delete: Request deletion of PI, subject to exceptions.
- Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate PI.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: Opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising.
- Right to Limit Use of Sensitive PI: Limit use of sensitive PI (e.g., precise geolocation, if collected).

To exercise rights, submit a verifiable request via email at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days (extendable to 90). We verify requests using provided information.
Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with proof of authorization.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect PI from children under 13 (or under 16 for certain purposes) without consent. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it.
International Transfers
If you are outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ.
