We keep form submission information for customer service purposes, internal employee training, and contacting the customer about products or services they may be interested in. We do not sell your information to any third-party company.

Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data to any third party company.

For example, when you make a purchase on our website and our payment processor(s) need to verify your identity to prevent fraud.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
