Information you provide. When you submit the contact form or reach out by phone or email, we collect the details you choose to share, such as your first and last name, company, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, we collect limited usage data through Google Analytics 4, including your approximate location, IP address (handled by Google in a shortened form), browser and device type, the pages you view, the actions you take, and the site or source that referred you.

In general, the categories of personal information we handle are identifiers (such as name and contact details), commercial information (such as your inquiry and any services discussed), and internet or network activity (such as analytics data).

Cookies and Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors engage with the page so the site can be improved. Google Analytics sets cookies and may process usage data on our behalf. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Text Messaging (SMS)

If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in, for example by submitting the contact form, we may send you text (SMS) messages related to your inquiry, scheduling, and the services you have asked about. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP, and you can reply HELP for assistance. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service.

• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only as needed with trusted service providers who process it on our behalf, and only for the purposes described above:

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
