Information We Collect
When you visit this website, we may collect certain information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This information helps us improve website performance and user experience.
If you choose to contact us through a form, email, or appointment request, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and any information you voluntarily provide.

Comments
If comments are enabled on our website, when visitors leave comments we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location information from uploaded images.

If you leave a comment on the site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies may remain for up to one year.
Temporary cookies may also be used to determine whether your browser accepts cookies and to support login functionality if applicable.
You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some portions of the website may not function properly as a result.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps, or social media feeds. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the external website directly.
