At this time, we do not use tracking tools, advertising pixels, or behavioral profiling on this website.

If this changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS AND LINKS

This website may contain links to third-party platforms or services, including optional community platforms such as Substack.

Participation in third-party platforms is entirely optional and governed by the privacy policies of those platforms. We do not control how third-party services collect or use your information.

Any content you choose to share on third-party platforms (such as Substack) is shared voluntarily and subject to the policies of those platforms.
