Gertie LLC (“Gertie,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through gertie.llc (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you provide. When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, company (if provided), and the contents of your message.
Technical information. To protect the contact form from abuse, we store a one-way cryptographic hash of the IP address used to submit it. We do not store the IP address itself. Our hosting provider may also process standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and reliability.
We do not use advertising cookies or sell personal information.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about it.
- To prevent spam and abuse of the contact form.
- To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Service providers
We rely on trusted providers to operate the Site: website hosting, a managed database that stores contact-form submissions, and a transactional email service that notifies us of new inquiries. These providers process information only on our behalf and under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
Retention
We keep inquiry records only as long as needed to respond and to maintain reasonable business records, after which they are deleted or archived.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted by emailing admin@gertie.llc.
Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections and restricted database access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version.
