Privacy Policy

We collect information about your activity when you browse our website; access and use our Services or engage with us via social media platforms, and when you email us.

Currently in the USA there are no federal laws regarding internet data privacy or sharing of website browsing data. As of today, several states have produced regulations to limit the sharing of website traffic information by internet service companies. For example, Google is one of those companies.

States with published comprehensive data privacy laws are California, Virginia, Connecticut, Colorado, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Oregon, Montana, Texas, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, and New Hampshire.

The only products used on this website that collect data website visitor traffic are Google Analytics.

1. We use Matomo Analytics to record and store data about website visitor traffic. Their servers are located in Germany, which is the location our data on website visitor traffic is stored. That information does use cookies, or tracking technology, on our website, but that collected data is in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) procedures. When you browse our website we anonymize tracking data about your visit(s) and regularly delete old raw data from our database. We mask the last six digits of your IP address that is stored.

2. "Live Chat" uses cookies to store your location and conversation information. The third-party vendor of this chatbot services is hosted with GCP ( Google Cloud Platform ) and has a global CDN (Content Delivery Network). The data at rest is hosted at Google in the USA. However, the data over the wire travels to/from wherever the agents and visitors are located.

The type of information collected by Google during your visit includes the following:

-- Mobile network information including carrier name and phone number

-- Application version number


Google also collects information on the apps, browsers, and devices you use for/with their services, including IP address, crash reports, system activity, and the date, time, and referrer URL of your request.

Included in the collected data is the activity you perform, such as the following:

Google products have access to your GPS, IP address, and sensor data for different reasons at different times, whether you’re using Google Maps or interacting with an app that is integrated with Firebase.

Things near your devices, such as public Wi-Fi access points and cell towers will inform Google as to your geolocation. Bluetooth-enabled devices might also interact with bluetooth beacons that are specifically designed to target a small and accurate location radius.

Google has stated they never sell personal information in a recent email we received. They suggest that website visitors use “My Account” and “My Ad Center” within Google products to manage the settings of privacy on internet browsing data.

Google provides information about Restricted Data Processing (RPP) at this [link](https://business.safety.google/rdp/) which details how they help businesses comply with state regulations.
