Call Recording & Voicemail Transcription
Our phone system is powered by Grasshopper by GoTo. Calls to or from our business number may be routed, recorded, or transcribed to voicemail for quality assurance and to assist with scheduling and support. We will notify you at the start of any recorded line where required by law.

We use third-party payment processors to handle payments. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems. Your payment data is processed according to the processor’s security and privacy practices.
Advertising & Remarketing
We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we implement advertising or remarketing pixels in the future, we will update this Policy and provide appropriate notices and choices.
Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If we use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), those providers may set their own cookies and process data per their policies.
“Do Not Track” signals: the Site does not currently respond to DNT signals due to a lack of industry standards.
