How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed with:

• Service providers who help us operate, such as our email platform, payment processor, scheduling tools, and website host, under obligations to protect your information.
• Professional advisors, such as our accountant or attorney, where appropriate.

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.

Data retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
