When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect standard technical information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and dates/times of visits.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your information for third-party advertising.

3. How We Share Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site and our business — including Netlify, which hosts the Site and processes contact form submissions — and who are permitted to use the information only to provide services to us;
