5. Cookies & Tracking

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies in limited circumstances. Specifically:

• Formspree: Our sample request form is submitted through Formspree, Inc., which may set cookies during form interaction for spam protection and submission integrity. Formspree’s privacy practices are governed by its own policy.
• Essential session storage: Standard browser storage required for Site functionality.

We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party tracking pixels. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites, and we do not serve targeted advertising. If we add analytics or similar tools in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Site functionality, including form submission.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), encryption of data at rest where commercially practicable, role-based access controls, secure credential management, and confidentiality obligations for personnel and sub-processors with access to Client Firm data.

Acknowledgment of Client Firm Regulatory Obligations. We recognize that Client Firms may be subject to obligations under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the FTC Safeguards Rule, and similar laws and regulations governing the handling of customer financial information. We handle Client Firm data consistent with these safeguards and cooperate in good faith to address reasonable additional requirements as may be needed to support Client Firm compliance.

Security Incident Notification. In the event of a confirmed security incident that has resulted in, or is reasonably likely to result in, unauthorized access to or disclosure of Client Firm data containing personal information, we will notify the affected Client Firm without undue delay, and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours of confirmation.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
