Privacy Policy

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries. If you contact us through our contact form, we use your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submitters to any mailing list without explicit consent.

To operate and improve our website. Technical information helps us understand how visitors use our site, identify technical problems, and improve the content and functionality we offer.

To maintain security. IP address and access log data may be reviewed for the purpose of identifying and addressing security threats, unauthorized access attempts, or abusive behavior.

To comply with legal obligations. We may use or disclose information to comply with applicable law, legal process, or enforceable governmental requests.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Service providers. We may share information with third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website, such as web hosting providers or analytics services. These providers are contractually obligated to use information only as directed by us and to maintain appropriate security measures.

Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request. We may also disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Business transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a notice on our website if your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy as a result of such a transaction.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

Email communications received through our contact form are retained in our email system for a period consistent with normal business correspondence practices. Server log data is typically retained for a period not exceeding 12 months, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Cookie preference data is stored on your device for the duration specified in our Cookie Policy. You may clear this data at any time through your browser settings or by interacting with our cookie preference tool.

When information is no longer needed for any legitimate purpose, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Depending on your state of residence, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including:

• The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, or sell
• The right to request deletion of personal information we hold about you
• The right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information)
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other states with comprehensive privacy legislation may have similar rights under their respective state laws.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of your request. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

Opt-out of analytics. You can opt out of analytics data collection by managing your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool or by enabling the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for data in transit. Access to email systems containing contact form messages is limited to authorized personnel.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that creates a risk of harm to affected individuals, we will take steps to notify affected parties as required by applicable law, including notification requirements under state breach notification statutes.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or reference external research publications. This Privacy Policy applies only to faroko.info. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

We may use Google Maps embedded on our Contact page. The use of Google Maps is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By interacting with the embedded map, you may be subject to Google's data collection practices.

We may use analytics services that operate under their own privacy policies. Where we use such services, we configure them to collect anonymized or pseudonymous data where possible and to comply with applicable privacy law.

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. This practice is consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which prohibits the collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected]. We will take steps to remove such information from our systems promptly upon verification of the request.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle information.

Continued use of our website after changes to this policy are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy. If changes are material and require consent under applicable law, we will seek that consent in the manner required.

For questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us:

We will respond to privacy-related inquiries within a reasonable timeframe, and within any legally mandated response period where applicable.
