How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website and business, such as website hosting, form processing, email, analytics, customer relationship management, scheduling, and professional advisory providers. These providers may use information only as needed to perform services for us or as allowed by their own privacy terms.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, in connection with a business transfer, or with your direction or consent.
Third-party links and services
Our website may link to services we do not control, including Calendly and LinkedIn. Information you provide through a third-party service is governed by that service’s privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including business, legal, accounting, and security needs. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
