Even though we do not sell your data, we want to be transparent about how we collect, use, and protect it.
We only collect a few types of data, and only when you give it to us or visit the site.

| Partner | What They See | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | IP (pseudonymized), browser type, pages visited | To count visits and improve performance |
All partners are under contract and must protect your data. They are not allowed to use it for marketing.
We use two types of cookies:

Our servers are located in the United States. If you live in the EU, UK, or Brazil, your data may leave your country. We do not transfer data beyond basic analytics, and we avoid sending personal data to countries without strong privacy protections.

AES encryption for stored data
Firewalls to block unauthorized access
Access controls so only the team can view your data
Regular audits to find and fix security risks

Some browsers allow you to send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for DNT, we currently do not respond to these signals. However, you can still opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie settings.
