​PRIVACY POLICY​

​

This website is hosted by Wix, a third-party web platform that provides us with the tools and infrastructure to run and manage our site. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website. By using this site, you agree to the terms of this policy.

​

When you visit our site or submit information through forms, we may collect personal details that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, or payment information—if applicable. This data is typically collected through contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or when making a purchase. Additionally, Wix may automatically collect certain types of data including your IP address, device and browser type, session length, click patterns, and approximate location data (based on your IP). This information helps us better understand how visitors interact with the site and allows us to improve functionality and user experience.

​

Wix processes some of this data and also according to their own privacy practices. You can learn more about how Wix handles user data by reviewing their Privacy Policy. Any information you provide or that is collected automatically may also be shared with third-party services such as payment processors or analytics providers that help us run the site. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

​

We use your information to communicate with you, respond to inquiries, fulfill service requests, send newsletters or marketing materials, improve site performance, and comply with legal obligations. If applicable, we may use your data to process payments and deliver digital products or services.

​

Like most websites, this site uses cookies and similar technologies. Wix may place cookies on your browser to help the site function properly, gather analytics, or enhance user experience. You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings, or by adjusting your preferences using our site’s cookie banner (if enabled).

​

Depending on where you live, you may have specific privacy rights under U.S. state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), or Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA). These rights may include accessing or correcting your personal information, requesting deletion, or opting out of marketing communications. To exercise these rights, you can contact us directly at the email address provided below, and we’ll assist as needed in coordination with Wix.

​

We take reasonable steps to secure your personal information using industry-standard measures, including SSL encryption and secure hosting provided by Wix. However, no online system is completely immune from risk, and we encourage users to take appropriate precautions when sharing information online.

In addition, our site may use functional cookies to enhance features, such as remembering user preferences or improving site performance. Analytics cookies—such as those from Wix Analytics or Google Analytics—help us understand how users interact with our content, which pages are most visited, and where we can improve the site’s usability and layout.

​

We may also use marketing or advertising cookies, sometimes placed by third-party tools integrated into the site (like Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or newsletter forms). These cookies track your browsing behavior to show you more relevant content or ads across the web.

​

You’ll typically see a cookie banner when you first visit the site, giving you the option to accept or manage your preferences. By continuing to use the site without changing your cookie settings, you consent to our use of cookies as outlined in this policy.
