Application of this Website Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website, including when you browse its pages or submit an inquiry through our contact form. It does not apply to services or websites operated by third parties, even if they are linked from this site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Information we collect

Information you provide to us. When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your full name, email address, organization, inquiry type and the contents of your message. Contact-form submissions are processed by our form service provider, Formspree, which delivers them to us by email.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the servers that host this site may automatically record standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and the date and time of your visit.

This website does not offer user accounts or public comments, and we do not ask you to submit personal health information through it. Please do not send medical or other sensitive personal information through the contact form.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions and requests;
• Operate, maintain, secure and improve this website;
• Remember your display preferences, such as light or dark mode;
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations and legal processes.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies & local storage

Cookies and similar technologies are small data files stored on your computer or mobile device. They usually contain identifiers, site names and some numbers and characters, and can help a website remember your preferences.

This website stores two small preferences in your browser so the site appears the way you prefer on your next visit. Neither is used to identify or track you, and neither is shared with anyone. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

• Language — if you choose a language with the language button in the header, a first-party cookie named ascendra-lang stores your choice (for example, es) for one year. If you never choose, no cookie is set and the site simply follows your browser's language settings.
• Display mode — your choice of light or dark mode is kept in your browser's local storage.

You can manage or clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block these technologies; if you do, some preferences may not be remembered between visits. To learn more, visit the settings or help page of the browser you are using.

Embedded content from other websites

This website loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these fonts, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address and browser details, in accordance with Google's own privacy policy.

Pages on this site may also include embedded content (for example, images or videos) from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

With whom we share your data

Ascendra will not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

Sharing with explicit consent

After obtaining your explicit consent, we may share your information with third parties.

Sharing with authorized service providers

We may entrust trusted service providers to help us operate this website and respond to inquiries, including our website hosting provider and Formspree (Formspree, Inc.), which receives contact-form submissions on our behalf and forwards them to us by email. We share only the information necessary for legitimate, specific and clearly defined purposes, and these providers may not use it for any other purpose. Formspree's handling of data is described in its own privacy policy at formspree.io.

Sharing under legal requirements

We may disclose information where required by applicable law, regulation, litigation, arbitration or the lawful request of administrative or judicial authorities.

Business transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require any successor holding your information to continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy, or to seek your consent again.

Public disclosure. We will only publicly disclose your information with your explicit consent, or where necessary under applicable law to protect the safety, property or rights of Ascendra, our users or the public.

How long we retain your data

We keep information submitted through our contact form only for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for related follow-up, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Copies of submissions are also held in our Formspree account and our email system, and are deleted in line with this practice. Technical server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes. Your display-mode preference remains in your browser until you clear it, and the language cookie (if you chose a language) expires after one year.

How we protect your data

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

What rights you have over your data

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to receive a copy of it, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to or restrict certain processing. These rights do not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We will respond in accordance with applicable law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
