If STEAN later adds analytics, advertising technology, or other tracking that materially changes how visitor information is collected, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

STEAN does not sell personal information.

We may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, deliver communications, protect our systems, or support normal business operations.

We retain inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, protect our business, or comply with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the communication and business relationship.

7. Data Security

STEAN uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information handled through the website.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use appropriate judgment when deciding what information to submit through the public contact form.

8. Your Choices

You may contact STEAN to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you previously submitted to us.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights.

We may need to retain certain information when required for legitimate business, security, or legal purposes.
