We may also collect limited technical data automatically when you visit the Site, such as browser type, referring URLs, and pages visited, through standard server logs or analytics tools. This data is used in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities.

We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide requested services
- Prepare and send service agreements and invoices

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — third-party tools we use to operate our business (e.g., email platforms, scheduling tools, payment processors) that are bound by confidentiality agreements.
- Legal compliance — when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of ourselves or others.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of assets, with appropriate notice to affected parties.
5. Cookies & Tracking
The Site may use cookies or local storage for functional purposes, such as remembering your light/dark mode preference. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. If you use a contact or quote form hosted by a third-party service (such as Formspree or Google Forms), that service's own privacy policy applies to data submitted through it.

- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of future communications
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at michael@coolassmike.com.
8. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to external websites (such as Google Calendar, GigSalad, or social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
9. Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
