What Data We Collect and Why

Contact Forms

When you contact us through the form on our “Contact Us” page, we use the email address you provide solely to respond to your inquiry. We will not use your email to subscribe you to newsletters, nor will we share your information with third parties.

To enhance our marketing efforts and understand how users interact with our site, we use cookies on select pages. These cookies allow us to track the effectiveness of our paid advertising campaigns on platforms such as Facebook and Google. While these tools help us analyze user trends and improve our services, they do not provide us with any personal information about you. Rest assured, we do not share our tracking pixels with third parties.

Post Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish a post, a cookie with no personal information will be stored temporarily and deleted after one day.

Embedded Content

Our site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from external websites. Interacting with this content is equivalent to visiting the originating website. These external sites may collect your data, use cookies, include third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content, particularly if you’re logged into their platform.

Analytics and Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties. However, we use Facebook and Google pixels to monitor the performance of our paid advertising. These tools provide us with general insights, not individual user data, allowing us to make informed decisions for future campaigns.
