Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through standard web server technology.

Information You Provide

When you use the contact form on this site, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. This information is transmitted to us via email and is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not store this information in a database. We do not add you to any mailing list.

Information Collected Automatically

Like all websites, our server collects standard log information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps. This information is used for security monitoring and basic traffic analysis. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies

We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You may decline non-essential cookies through the consent mechanism presented when you first visit the site. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through the contact form is used exclusively to review and respond to your inquiry. We do not use it for marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond the direct communication you initiated.

Automatically collected server log data is used for website security, diagnosing technical problems, and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. This data is not used to identify individual visitors.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for commercial purposes. We do not engage in behavioral advertising or retargeting based on your visit to this site.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, including compliance with applicable US federal and state laws.
• Service providers: Our website is hosted on third-party infrastructure. Our hosting provider may have access to server log data as part of normal hosting operations. We select providers who maintain appropriate data protection practices.
• Protection of rights: We may disclose information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the safety of our users, or to investigate fraud.

We do not have advertising partners, affiliate networks, or data brokers with whom we share visitor information.

4. Data Retention

Email correspondence initiated through the contact form is retained for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for reference. We do not maintain a permanent database of contact form submissions.

Server log files are retained for a maximum of 90 days before being overwritten or deleted, unless a specific security incident requires longer retention for investigation purposes.

Cookie consent preferences are stored in browser cookies for a period of 12 months, after which the consent prompt will reappear.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information under applicable US state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and similar laws in other states.

These rights may include:

• The right to know what personal information we have collected about you
• The right to request deletion of personal information we hold
• The right to correct inaccurate personal information
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (note: we do not sell or share personal information for commercial purposes)
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or by phone at +1 404-799-6911. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

6. Children's Privacy

This website is an educational resource intended for adults, specifically local business owners and operators. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. This site is not directed at or designed for use by children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. This policy is consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information collected through this site. These measures include using HTTPS encryption for data transmission and limiting access to server infrastructure.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from this site. We encourage you to use caution when transmitting personal information over the internet.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
