7.4 European and International Visitors
If you are located outside the United States — including in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with privacy laws — please note that our Site is operated from the United States. By using our Site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection standards than your country of residence.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address in Section 10.
Our legal basis for processing personal information from EEA/UK visitors is generally: (a) performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request; (b) our legitimate interests in operating and improving our Site; or (c) your consent where we have obtained it. We will not process your information in ways that are incompatible with these legal bases.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Our Site is hosted on Squarespace's platform, which maintains its own security certifications and practices.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately using the information in Section 10.
