Sharing & Disclosure
We share personal information only in limited, specific circumstances:
- With service providers: Third-party vendors who support our operations (email platforms, payment processors, cloud storage, analytics) — bound by confidentiality obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Client identities and the substance of engagements are treated as strictly confidential.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted transmission of sensitive data (TLS/SSL)
- Access controls limiting who within our organization can view client information
- Secure hosting and cloud storage with established providers
- Written confidentiality obligations for all team members and service providers
- Regular review of security practices and prompt remediation of identified risks
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
