Privacy Policy

1.Information We Collect

Depending upon how you interact with the website, Astroman may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• name;
• email address;
• telephone number and preferred contact method;
• company or organization;
• mailing or billing address;
• project descriptions, scientific or technical questions, and inquiries;
• project requirements and intended use;
• requested completion dates and budget information;
• source materials, references, documents, or links supplied for an engagement;
• confidentiality, security, publication, or other project-specific requirements;
• proposal, agreement, invoice, payment-status, and transaction information;
• signatures and information contained in engagement records;
• communications submitted through website forms or in connection with an engagement; and
• other information an individual chooses to provide.

Please do not submit protected health information, individually identifiable patient information, medical records, financial-account information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other unnecessary sensitive personal information through the general website inquiry form.

If a project requires confidential or sensitive information, appropriate arrangements should be established with Astroman before that information is transmitted.

2.How We Use Information

Astroman may use information collected through the website to:

• respond to inquiries;
• communicate with prospective and current clients;
• evaluate proposed projects;
• prepare proposals, estimates, and other materials relating to prospective engagements;
• provide and administer requested services;
• maintain appropriate business and transaction records;
• operate, secure, and improve the website;
• prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

Astroman will not use personal information for materially unrelated purposes except as permitted or required by applicable law.

3.Website Technology, Cookies, and Analytics

The website and its hosting or service providers may use cookies, browser storage, and similar technologies that are necessary to operate, secure, or provide website functionality.

The website also offers optional analytics designed to help Astroman understand how visitors interact with the website. Optional analytics are not enabled for a new visitor unless the visitor affirmatively accepts analytics tracking through the website's consent mechanism. If analytics are declined, the optional analytics script remains disabled.

The website uses browser storage to remember a visitor's analytics-consent choice for a limited period so that the website can honor that selection and determine when consent should be requested again.

If a visitor accepts analytics tracking, third-party analytics technology may receive information associated with the visitor's interaction with the website. The specific cookies, identifiers, storage technologies, and technical information processed by those third-party analytics services may depend on the provider's implementation and practices.

The website uses platform-provided infrastructure services, which may include hosting, content delivery, security, and server-side request processing.

The website may also load fonts and other resources from third-party servers as part of its standard operation.

4.Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, including Stripe and PayPal.

Astroman does not directly store complete payment-card or bank-account information submitted to those providers. Payment providers process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

Visitors should review the applicable provider's privacy information before submitting payment information.

5.How Information May Be Disclosed

Astroman does not sell personal information.

Information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:

• service providers that support website hosting, communications, payment processing, data storage, security, or other business operations;
• subcontractors or collaborators supporting a client engagement, where appropriate;
• professional advisers where reasonably necessary;
• governmental authorities or other parties when required by applicable law or legal process; or
• protect the rights, property, security, or legitimate interests of Astroman, its clients, or others.

Astroman seeks to limit information disclosed to service providers, subcontractors, and collaborators to information reasonably necessary for their functions and, where appropriate, to use confidentiality or data-protection measures appropriate to the circumstances.

6.Data Security

Astroman uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information it handles.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and Astroman cannot guarantee absolute security.

7.Data Retention

Personal information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, contractual, accounting, tax, legal, dispute-resolution, or recordkeeping purposes.

Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature of the information and the applicable relationship with Astroman.

8.Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending upon your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information Astroman maintains about you, which may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other action concerning that information.

Requests may be submitted through the Contact section of the website.

Astroman may need to verify a request before acting on it and may retain or decline to delete information where permitted or required by applicable law.

9.Children's and Minors' Privacy

Astroman's website and professional services are intended for adults and are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age.

Astroman does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information through the website from individuals under 18. If Astroman becomes aware that personal information has been submitted by an individual under 18, Astroman will take reasonable steps to address the information as appropriate.

Nothing in this section is intended to limit any additional protections applicable to children under federal or state law.

10.Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may link to or interact with third-party websites or services. Astroman does not control those third parties' privacy or security practices. Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party services they use.

11.Changes to This Privacy Policy

Astroman may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in its website, information practices, services, or applicable requirements.

The Last Updated date will identify the most recent revision.
