This Privacy Policy describes how BrookFord LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), operating under the SteadyLayer brand, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with the SteadyLayer website at steadylayer.app (the "Site"). This policy applies only to this marketing and informational website — individual SteadyLayer products (such as SteadyPractice) maintain their own privacy policies that govern the use of those services.

• Log data — such as your IP address, pages visited, referring URL, date and time of access, and time spent on pages
• Cookies and similar technologies — small text files stored on your device that help us understand how you use the Site. See Section 5 for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — we may share information with third-party vendors who help us operate the Site (such as hosting providers and analytics services). These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
• Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Contact-related communications are retained for up to 24 months unless you request earlier deletion. Automatically collected data (such as analytics logs) is retained in aggregated or anonymized form.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site may use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies — essential for the Site to function properly (e.g., security and accessibility)
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, which pages are most popular, and where visitors come from. We may use third-party analytics services (such as privacy-respecting analytics providers) for this purpose.

We do not use advertising or behavioral tracking cookies on this Site. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Site.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including individual SteadyLayer product sites and external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

7. Data Security

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