5Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies/technologies for security (e.g., Cloudflare Turnstile) and service reliability. If analytics are enabled, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics (no cookies by default) for aggregate pageview and performance insights.

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
7Data Security
We apply technical and organizational measures: encryption in transit, access controls/least privilege, change management, backups, monitoring/logging, and vendor due diligence. No system is perfect; we encourage responsible disclosure of any suspected vulnerabilities.
