Sensitive Personal Information

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health, racial or ethnic origin, or precise geolocation). Please do not submit medical or other sensitive information to us. If you voluntarily provide such information (for example, in a message), we will use it only to respond to your request and will not use it for marketing or advertising purposes.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve our website, content, and services.
  • To communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and send administrative information.
  • To provide newsletters or updates you request and to manage your preferences.
  • To conduct analytics, measure performance, and understand audience engagement.
  • To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security, and technical issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential site functionality, remember preferences, and perform analytics and audience measurement. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function; others are optional and used for analytics or to improve your experience.

Your Choices

You may manage cookies via your browser settings and, where offered, our on-site cookie controls. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. If your browser or extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (as defined by applicable law) for that browser.

Disclosure of Personal Information

  • Service Providers: We share information with vendors performing services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, security, analytics, email delivery) under contracts that restrict use of the information to the services provided.
  • Analytics and Measurement: We may allow analytics partners to collect information to help us understand site usage. Where required by law, such sharing is treated as “sharing” for targeted advertising or a “sale,” and you may opt out as described below.
  • Legal and Safety: We may disclose information to comply with law, legal process, or governmental requests; to enforce our terms; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or our organization.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or other change of control, personal information may be transferred as permitted by law.
  • With Your Direction or Consent: We may disclose information when you ask us to or otherwise consent.

Data Security

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or use. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Typical retention periods may include up to 24 months for analytics data, and as long as you remain subscribed for newsletter information, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Your Rights and Choices

  • Access, Correction, and Deletion: You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you.
  • Marketing Communications: You may opt out of non-essential communications by following unsubscribe instructions in messages or by contacting us.
  • Cookie Controls and Targeted Advertising: Manage cookies in your browser and via our on-site controls where available. We honor GPC signals as an opt-out of sale/sharing for that browser.
  • Do Not Track: Because there is no standardized industry response to Do Not Track (DNT) signals, we do not respond to DNT. We do honor GPC signals as described.

We collect the following categories of personal information for the purposes described in this Policy:
