• - Improve the website and understand traffic trends
• - Maintain site security, performance, and reliability

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Legal bases for processing

If data protection laws such as the GDPR apply to your information, we process personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the situation, that may include:

• - Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract
• - Our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the website and responding to inquiries
• - Compliance with legal obligations
• - Your consent, where required

5. Analytics and cookies

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand general website traffic and performance.

At this time, Steel City Ceremony does not use advertising pixels, cross-site behavioral tracking, or retargeting tags on the website.

If we later add tools that materially change how data is collected, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only as needed with service providers that help us operate the website or respond to inquiries, such as:

• - Vercel, for website hosting and analytics
• - Our email and website service providers, if needed to receive and respond to inquiries

We may also disclose information:

• - If required by law
• - To protect our rights, safety, or property
• - In connection with a business transfer, if one ever occurs

7. International data transfers

Our website and service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate.

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may not provide the same level of legal protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required, we rely on our providers contractual and legal transfer mechanisms.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

In general:

• - Inquiry form submissions: up to 24 months after our last meaningful contact with you, unless a longer period is needed for ongoing services, recordkeeping, or legal reasons
• - Website analytics: for as long as reasonably needed to understand site traffic and performance, subject to provider settings and retention practices
• - Business communications: for as long as needed to respond to your request, maintain records, or comply with legal obligations

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable law, which can include the right to request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of personal information, restriction or objection to certain processing, portability in some circumstances, or withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

10. California disclosures

Steel City Ceremony does not currently sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Steel City Ceremony does not knowingly collect sensitive personal information for purposes that would require a Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information link.

If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and any required notices.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No website or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Childrens privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the site.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Last updated date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
