Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run our business — such as booking, payment, and email platforms — and only as needed to provide those services, or where required by law.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies to remember preferences and understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.
Data Retention & Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and we take reasonable steps to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
