Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how The Applied Visual collects, uses, and protects information obtained through your use of our website and services. By visiting our site, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

When you visit our website, we may collect certain information automatically through standard web technologies including cookies and server logs. This may include the date and time of your visit, pages viewed, time spent on the site, your IP address, and referring or exit URLs.

We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you unless you choose to provide it directly, for example, by contacting us via email or submitting a form.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website you visit. Cookies help us understand how our site is used so we can improve performance and user experience. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, some features of the site may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.

Each website can only access its own cookies, not those set by other sites, protecting your cross-site privacy.

IP Addresses

IP addresses are automatically logged by our web server as part of standard traffic data. This information is used to deliver the content you request and to analyze site usage patterns. We do not use IP addresses to personally identify individual users.

Email Communications

If you contact us by email, we may retain the content of your message, your email address, and our response. We treat email communications with the same level of care as all other personal information we receive.

Please be aware that email is not a fully secure medium of communication. You choose to contact us by email at your own discretion. Credit card and sensitive payment information should never be sent via email.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to administer our website and services, provide customer support, and offer information about our products and offerings to current and prospective clients.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Data Security

We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information, including SSL encryption for sensitive data transmitted via our website. We also use software to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorized access attempts.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information through this site. Minors should use this site only with parental permission and guidance.

Policy Changes

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted to this page. We will not use previously collected information in ways that are materially inconsistent with this policy without first obtaining your consent.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
