We use Google Analytics for basic traffic analysis. Google Analytics is used only for website analytics and not for advertising or remarketing.

At this time, we do not currently send newsletters or promotional emails, but we may do so in the future. If we begin sending marketing communications, we will provide any legally required notice, consent mechanism, and unsubscribe option.

4. Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information

For individuals located in jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing, such as the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may process personal information based on one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Consent, such as when you consent to analytics cookies or future marketing communications
  • Legitimate interests, such as responding to inquiries, improving our website, maintaining security, and managing business operations
  • Contractual necessity, where processing is needed to take steps at your request before entering into a business relationship or to provide requested services
  • Legal obligation, where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or professional obligations

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, although withdrawal will not affect processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.

5. How We Share Personal Information

We do not sell personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may share personal information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Website analytics providers, such as Google Analytics
  • Cookie consent management providers, including Cookie Flow by ReformDigital

These providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.

We use Google Analytics to understand basic website traffic and usage. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, device type, approximate location, and referring website.
