We also intend to use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand website traffic and visitor interactions.
Google Analytics may collect information about website visits, device characteristics, traffic sources, and interactions with links.

You may contact us to request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal and legitimate business requirements.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.
Our website relies on established service providers, including Squarespace, for hosting and related security features.
However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
