4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience. A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function properly. They allow you to navigate the site and use features like our online booking system.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use our site. We use this information to see which pages are popular and where we need to make improvements.
- Managing Cookies: You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. However, declining cookies may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website features.
5. Data Security
We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We use a variety of physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
Our security measures include:
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our website.
- Restricted access to personal information, limiting it only to employees and contractors who need the information to perform their specific job duties.
- Secure firewalls and malware detection systems on our website servers.
While we work hard to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously update our practices to keep your data as safe as possible.
6. Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. The exact retention period depends on the type of data and our legal obligations. For example, we must keep billing records for several years for tax and accounting purposes. Once we no longer have a legitimate business need to keep your personal information, we will securely delete it or anonymize it.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information under laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
