Information We Collect
Non-identifying usage data: When you visit our site, your browser automatically shares technical information such as your IP address, device type, browser version, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data in aggregate to keep the site fast and reliable.
Content you submit: If you use forms (e.g., on the contact page) or interactive tools that accept input, we collect the text you submit so we can respond or provide the requested feature.
Communications: If you contact us, we collect your message and contact details to respond and maintain records of the correspondence.
How We Use Information
- To operate and improve our website, tools, and user experience.
- To respond to messages and support requests you send via our contact page.
- To monitor performance, detect abuse, and keep the site secure and available.
- To comply with applicable laws and enforce our terms.
Analytics & Third Parties
We aim to keep tracking minimal. If we use privacy-respecting analytics or embed third-party content in the future, those services may set their own cookies and collect usage data under their privacy policies. We will update this page if our analytics or third-party usage materially changes.
Legal Bases (when applicable)
For visitors in jurisdictions that require a legal basis (e.g., the EU), we rely on:
- Consent for optional features where you actively opt in.
- Legitimate interests to run a fast, secure, and functional site, balanced against your privacy rights.
- Compliance with legal obligations where we must retain or disclose information.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. When no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify data.
Your Rights & Choices
Access & correction: You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct inaccuracies.
Deletion: You may request that we delete personal information when it is no longer needed, subject to legal obligations.
Consent withdrawal: If we process data based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
Your rights may vary by location (for example, under Canada’s PIPEDA or the EU GDPR). We will honor applicable legal rights.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard information. No online service can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data incident that affects you, we will follow applicable laws regarding notifications.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it where required.
International Transfers
Our site may be hosted in or accessed from multiple countries. If your data is transferred across borders, we will take steps required by applicable law to protect it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” above shows when we last made a material change. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
