What we gather and how
We collect information in two ways:

Information collected automatically
Like most websites, ours automatically collects limited technical information (such as pages visited, time on page, and general traffic source) through cookies and analytics tools. See "Cookies and Tracking" below.
How We Use Your Information
The purposes behind data collection
We use the information we collect to:

How Your Information Is Processed and Shared
Service providers and legal disclosures
We use HubSpot as our website form, email, and analytics platform. Information you submit through our forms is stored and processed on HubSpot's systems on our behalf. We may also use analytics providers (such as Google) to understand website traffic. These providers process information only to provide services to us and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of MC4, our clients, or others. Apart from the service providers described above, we do not share your personal information with outside parties, and we do not sell it.

We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to you, provide the service you requested, or as required by our professional and legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
