3. Legal Bases (When Applicable)

Depending on your location and applicable law, we process information based on one or more of the following: (a) to perform a contract or take steps at your request before entering a contract; (b) our legitimate business interests (such as improving Services, ensuring security, and preventing fraud); (c) your consent (where required); and (d) compliance with legal obligations.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functional, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. Some cookies are essential for core site features; others support analytics and performance. You can typically manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information in limited circumstances:
• Service providers that help operate our business (e.g., hosting, analytics, communications, invoicing). They are expected to handle information responsibly and only for the services they provide.
• Professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, and legal counsel, as needed.
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets (subject to appropriate safeguards).
• Legal and safety reasons where required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense. If laws in your jurisdiction define “sale” or “sharing” broadly (for example, certain targeted advertising contexts), you may have rights to opt out where applicable.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including providing Services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of the engagement.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no security measures can guarantee absolute protection. You are responsible for using secure devices and networks when communicating with us and for protecting any credentials you use.

8. Your Choices

You may choose not to provide certain information, but that may limit our ability to respond or provide Services. You may also manage cookies through browser settings. If you receive non-essential communications from us, you can request to limit such communications.

9. Rights and Disclosures (California and Other Regions)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or portability of certain personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. We will respond as required by applicable law. For security, we may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under state privacy laws, which can include the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, used, or disclosed; and the right to request deletion or correction (subject to exceptions). We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising privacy rights.
