Information we collect

We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, phone number, company, job title, project details, messages, and communication preferences. We may also collect technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, cookie identifiers, and interactions with our website and advertising.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries; provide, manage, and improve our services; operate and secure the website; measure website and campaign performance; maintain business records; prevent fraud and spam; comply with law; and send marketing communications when permitted by law or with your consent. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the link in an email.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, form processing, security, and advertising measurement.

We may use services provided by Webflow, HubSpot, Google (including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising services, and reCAPTCHA), Microsoft, LinkedIn, Meta, or similar providers. These companies may process information under their own privacy policies. Google reCAPTCHA helps prevent spam and abuse and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms.

How we share information

We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us host the site, manage customer relationships, deliver email, analyze performance, prevent abuse, and operate our business. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, sale, financing, or transfer of business assets.

We do not sell personal information for money. Depending on applicable law, some analytics or advertising activities may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising. You may contact us to request an available opt-out.

Information submitted through our forms is processed through HubSpot and may be added to our customer relationship management system. If you request or consent to marketing communications, we may use your information to send blog updates and related marketing. HubSpot’s practices are described in its Privacy Policy.

Data retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to opt out of certain sharing, targeted advertising, or marketing. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and exceptions may apply under law.
