Voluntary Data Collected

If you have submitted a form on our website, that will contain personally identifiable information. We collect such data that you voluntarily supply to us when you fill out one of the forms on this website. This information is stored on the web server and sent via email to us. The information we collect through forms may include your name, phone number, email, business name, and payment details as needed. If you have not filled out any forms, then we will have no personal data from you.

 

Involuntary Data Collected

Additionally, this website collects from all visitors your IP address and uses cookies. An IP Address is a unique string of numbers that identifies the computer, router, or access point that you are using to access the internet. We use IP Address data solely to maintain the security of our website and servers, not for tracking purposes.

A cookie is a small amount of data stored on your hard drive to help us improve your access to and your experience on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site, and improve it.

Through cookies, we collect anonymous traffic data including browser information, device information, and language.

All of this is involuntary data that we collect is anonymous and contains no personally identifiable information. For example, we do not have the ability to find the IP address of a specific (named) website visitor, email address, or name (unless a form is submitted).

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us or to render the requested services.

Additionally, we use general traffic data to provide an overview of how people are accessing, navigating, and using. It is not used for any additional purposes.

We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with any third party, except for third-party software we use to respond to you.

  • We may use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to understand how our site is used, so we can improve the user experience. User collected data is totally anonymous. This is done solely to understand and improve how users interact with our site. Read Google’s privacy policy.

How we protect your information

We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our systems and services are designed with privacy in mind, and we operate a ‘data minimization’ principle wherever possible – that is to say that we will only ever ask you for the minimum amount of information required to provide our services efficiently; we have no desire to retain (and therefore maintain) any more information than is necessary.

We may disclose personally identifiable information to any third party only if such disclosure is required by law, or is desirable to permit us to exercise or preserve our legal rights or take action regarding potentially illegal activities or to protect the safety of any person.
