Privacy Policy
TL;DR - The Quick Version
I collect minimal information (contact forms, analytics). I don't sell your data. I use third-party services (Netlify) that have their own privacy policies. You can request deletion of your data anytime.
Your Privacy Matters
At the StratusPhere, I’m committed to transparency about how I handle your data. This policy explains what I collect, why I collect it, and what I do with it.
