3. Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party platforms to operate our Site. Each has its own privacy practices:

Squarespace

Our website is hosted and built on Squarespace. Squarespace collects certain data about site visitors, including for analytics and security purposes, as described in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

Calendly

We use Calendly to allow visitors to schedule free consultations. When you book an appointment, Calendly collects your name, email address, and other information you provide during the booking process. Calendly's data practices are governed by the Calendly Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data using cookies and similar technologies. You can learn more about Google's data practices at the Google Privacy & Terms page. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Email Marketing Services

If we use a third-party email platform (such as Mailchimp or a similar service) to send newsletters and updates, subscriber information including your name and email address will be shared with that platform solely for the purpose of delivering those communications.

We choose third-party vendors who take data security seriously and limit data sharing with them to what is necessary for the services they provide.
