Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose, and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.

Information We Collect

Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected. We collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.

Information we may collect includes:

  • Contact form submissions — name, email address, phone number, and any message content you provide voluntarily through forms on this site.
  • Automatically collected data — IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs, collected via analytics tools described below.
  • Cookies — small data files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use our site. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site functionality may be affected.

How We Use Your Information

We will collect and use personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law. We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.

Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and analyze information about how visitors use this site. This data — which may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and session duration — is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate website usage and compile reports on site activity for us. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

WordPress & Website Platform

This website is built on WordPress, an open-source content management platform. WordPress and its associated plugins may collect certain technical data necessary for site operation, including:

  • Server logs containing IP addresses and request timestamps.
  • Data submitted through contact or inquiry forms, stored temporarily in the WordPress database.
  • Session cookies used to maintain site functionality.

We do not use WordPress to collect personal information beyond what is necessary for operating the website and responding to inquiries. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your request and are not shared with third parties except as required by law.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including client portal and online payment services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

Data Security

We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To make such a request, please contact us at:
