9. Analytics, if applicable
At the time of this policy's last update, this website does not use third-party analytics tools. If analytics are introduced in the future, they will only run where you have given any consent required by applicable law, and this policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated.
10. Marketing Technologies, if applicable

11. Third-Party Service Providers
We use service providers that support our business operations, such as website hosting and email services. These providers process information on our behalf only as needed to provide their services.
12. Information Sharing
We may share personal information with service providers acting on our behalf, when required by law or legal process, to protect the rights, property or safety of our company, our clients or others, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition. We do not sell or rent personal information.
13. Data Processing and Storage
Information is processed and stored using the systems of our hosting and email providers. We take reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled consistently with this policy.
14. International Users
International users and data considerations. The company is based in the United States. This website may be accessed from other countries, and our services may be available to clients in other countries and regions. Privacy rights may differ depending on your jurisdiction, and the data protection requirements that apply depend on the actual processing activities involved.
15. International Data Transfers, if applicable
If you contact us from outside the United States, the information you submit may be processed in the United States or in other locations where our service providers operate. Where cross-border processing or storage applies and is subject to specific legal requirements, we will take steps required by applicable law.
16. Data Retention
We keep enquiry information for as long as needed to respond and to maintain reasonable records of business communications, unless a longer period is required by law or a client relationship. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
17. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
18. User Choices
You can choose not to provide information, although some information is needed to respond to an enquiry. You can change cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer.

We do not add enquiries to marketing mailing lists. If we ever offer optional updates, you will be asked to opt in, and every message will include a way to opt out.

21. Relevant US Privacy Information
Some US states provide residents with specific privacy rights, such as the right to know, delete and correct personal information and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Residents may contact us to exercise applicable rights, and we will not discriminate against anyone for doing so.
