3. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations

Some of our websites or content may include affiliate links, sponsored links, product recommendations, or referral links.

This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate relationships do not control our editorial opinions, but they may influence which products are featured or linked when relevant to the content.

Affiliate platforms may use cookies or tracking technologies to determine whether purchases qualify for referral credit. Those third-party platforms are responsible for their own privacy practices.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense of exchanging it directly for money.

However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising, analytics, affiliate, or tracking activities. Depending on the tools used on our websites, some data may be shared with third-party services for analytics, marketing, attribution, or site functionality.

We may share information with:

Service Providers

Third-party vendors who help us operate our business, such as:

• Website hosting providers
• Email and newsletter platforms
• Analytics providers
• Payment processors
• Scheduling tools
• CRM or project management platforms
• Cloud storage providers
• Security and spam-prevention services
• Affiliate networks or commerce platforms

These providers may access information only as needed to perform services on our behalf.

Professional Advisors

We may share information with attorneys, accountants, consultants, insurers, or other advisors when reasonably necessary.

Legal or Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, users, business, or the public.

Business Transfers

If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Third-Party Services and Links

Our websites may link to third-party websites, products, platforms, social media pages, affiliate retailers, booking tools, payment processors, or embedded content.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, policies, or security of third-party websites or services. You should review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing information or making purchases.

6. Analytics, Advertising, and Tracking

We may use analytics or marketing tools to understand how visitors interact with our websites and content.

These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser, device, pages visited, time spent on pages, clicks, referral sources, and approximate location.

Depending on the tools active on the site, third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to provide analytics, advertising measurement, affiliate tracking, or personalized content.

You may be able to opt out of certain tracking through:

• Your browser settings
• Cookie preference tools, if available on the site
• Device privacy settings
• Industry opt-out tools
• Global Privacy Control signals, where legally required and technically supported

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Providing services
• Maintaining business records
• Complying with legal, tax, accounting, or contractual obligations
• Resolving disputes
• Enforcing agreements
• Protecting against fraud, misuse, or security issues

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, internet transmission, email communication, or digital storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Please do not send sensitive information, passwords, payment details, or confidential materials through unsecured channels unless specifically requested and appropriate safeguards are in place.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including if you are a resident of California, Oregon, or another state with applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we have collected about you
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Request a copy of your personal information
• Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Object to or limit certain uses of personal information
• Appeal a denied privacy request, where required by law

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

10. Marketing Communications

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us directly.

Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send non-promotional messages related to active projects, transactions, legal notices, service updates, or business communications.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our websites and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

12. Client Confidentiality

For web development, consulting, creative, private dining, or business services, we may receive confidential or proprietary client information.

We treat client-provided materials, credentials, project details, and business information with care and use them only for the purpose of providing requested services, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Clients should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. If access credentials are required, we recommend using secure password-sharing tools rather than sending passwords by email or text.

13. International Visitors

Our websites are operated from the United States. If you access our websites from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you live.

14. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals.

At this time, our response to these signals may depend on the tools, platforms, and technical capabilities active on the website. Where legally required and technically feasible, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business, websites, services, technologies, legal obligations, or privacy practices.

When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Significant changes may also be communicated through the website or other reasonable means.

Your continued use of our websites or services after an update means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
