1. Our Philosophy on Privacy

We believe that privacy is a fundamental right. Our policy is built on the principles of data minimization—we only collect the information that is essential to provide our services—and transparency. We strive to be clear and upfront about our data practices so you can make informed decisions.

This information is collected for the sole purpose of responding to your direct inquiries.

B. Information Collected Automatically (Analytics)

Like most modern websites, our Site, which is hosted by Squarespace, uses cookies and similar technologies to automatically collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information. This "Derivative Data" may include:

  • Your IP address and browser type
  • The pages you visit on our Site and the time you spend on them
