  • User content (testimonials, feedback, uploads, submissions).

  • Children’s Data: We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). If you believe we have done so, please contact us.

  • Business transfers (merger, acquisition, reorg).

8. International Visitors

We are U.S.-based. If you use our services from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. We rely on consent, contracts, or other legal mechanisms for transfers.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to provide services or comply with legal/accounting requirements.

We use cookies, pixels, and similar tools for analytics, personalization, and advertising. You can control preferences through your browser or our cookie banner.

Our Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We do honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.

 
13. AI & Automated Decision-Making (if applicable)

We may use AI tools (for example, to analyze marketing performance or provide proposal drafting support). These tools do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about you without human involvement. You may opt out of automated profiling by emailing us.

 
14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy. If changes are material, we will update the Effective Date above and, if required, notify you.
