Marketing & Future Third-Party Integrations

We may in the future offer an email newsletter or marketing list. If we do, we will only add you with your explicit consent (for example, by submitting a signup form). Each marketing email will include an unsubscribe link, and you may opt out at any time. We may use a third-party email marketing platform (such as Mailchimp, Flodesk, or similar) solely to send content you have opted into. If and when we add such a service, this Privacy Policy will be updated to name the specific platform. We may also connect advertising tools such as Meta (Facebook) Pixel or Google Ads to better understand how our ads perform and to reach potential clients. These tools may use cookies to collect information about your visit and activity across other websites in order to deliver relevant ads. You may opt out of interest-based advertising through your browser settings or through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info. Any such additions will be reflected in an updated version of this policy.
