We collect information you provide directly to us — including your name, email address, and message content when you submit a contact form on this site. We also collect certain technical information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This technical information is collected through cookies and third-party analytics tools.

We do not sell your personal information. We share your information only with the following categories of third parties, solely to operate our site and communications:

HubSpot, Inc. — our CRM and email marketing platform, which stores and processes contact form submissions and contact list data on our behalf. Google — through Google Fonts and Google Analytics, which may collect technical usage data. WordPress and related plugins — which process data as part of operating our website infrastructure.

Each of these providers operates under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. We do not share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes.
