We use service providers for website hosting, form processing, email delivery, cookie management, and other business operations. These providers may process information as needed to provide their services.
When necessary to arrange an advertising or host placement, we may share relevant business or placement details with the participating venue, advertiser, or installation provider.
We may also disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our rights, investigate misuse, or protect others.
We do not sell or rent information submitted through our inquiry forms.

Retention periods may differ between website records, email messages, service-provider systems, and backups.
