Cookies and analytics
This site does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers and Google may receive your IP address. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy.
Who we share it with
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site and respond to you, such as our web host (Cloudflare), email provider (Microsoft) and contact form service (FormSubmit). They may use it only to provide those services to us. We may also disclose information if required by law.
How long we keep it
We keep correspondence for as long as it is useful for our relationship with you or as required by law, and then delete it.
Your choices
You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email ed@elfmannstrategies.com and we will respond promptly.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not send confidential information through the contact form.
