We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

- Newsletter Sign-ups: We collect email addresses solely to send you occasional marketing offers, news, and business updates.
- Website Contact Form: When you use our contact form, your name, email address, and message are collected and transmitted to our email system.
