Email Communications
If you contact Sterty or have a business relationship with us, we may send you communications relating to your inquiry, our services, or our business where permitted by law.
Marketing emails will include a way to opt out of future marketing communications when required by law.
If you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send non-marketing messages that are necessary to respond to you, manage an existing business relationship, provide requested services, handle billing, or address legal or security matters.
You can also ask us to stop sending marketing emails by contacting admin@getsterty.com.
Phone Calls and Text Messages
If you voluntarily provide a phone number in connection with an inquiry, Sterty may personally call or text you regarding that inquiry or a related business conversation.
Providing your phone number through a general inquiry form does not, by itself, mean that you agree to receive automated or prerecorded marketing calls or automated marketing text-message campaigns where separate consent is required by law.
If Sterty later uses automated or prerecorded marketing communications that require consent, we will obtain the appropriate consent before sending them.
You may ask us to stop marketing calls or text messages at any time. For text messages, you may communicate your request by replying with a clear opt-out request such as STOP, CANCEL, END, UNSUBSCRIBE, or another message that reasonably communicates that you want the messages to stop.
We may send a non-marketing confirmation that your opt-out request has been processed where permitted by law.
How We Disclose Information
We do not sell personal information.
We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own targeted advertising.

These may include providers for:

- Other services we reasonably use to operate Sterty
These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services to us and subject to their own contractual and legal obligations.

With Your Direction or Permission
We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise give us permission.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
For example, we may retain inquiry information as reasonably necessary to:

How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information under our control.
Our website is provided over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we limit access to information to people and service providers who reasonably need access for business purposes.
However, no website, transmission method, computer system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may contact us to request that we:
- Tell you what personal information we maintain about you.
- Provide a copy of certain personal information.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Delete certain personal information.
- Stop sending marketing communications.
Whether a particular request applies, and whether an exception permits or requires us to retain certain information, may depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the request.
To submit a privacy request, email:
Please provide enough information for us to reasonably identify the records involved. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
We will respond to privacy requests within the period required by applicable law. Where no specific statutory period applies, we will make reasonable efforts to respond promptly.
Depending on where you live and whether the applicable privacy law applies to Sterty and the information involved, you may have additional rights, including rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, or certain forms of data processing.
Where applicable law gives you the right to appeal our decision regarding a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by emailing admin@getsterty.com with the subject line Privacy Request Appeal and explaining the request and why you believe our decision should be reconsidered.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Some browsers and devices support privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control ("GPC") or "Do Not Track."
At the time this policy was last updated, Sterty does not sell personal information or use website visitor information for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.
Because our current website practices do not involve those activities, there may be no applicable sale or targeted-advertising activity for a GPC signal to opt you out of.
If our practices change, we will evaluate and respond to legally recognized privacy preference signals as required by applicable law.
Browser "Do Not Track" signals are not governed by a single uniform U.S. standard. Our practices remain as described in this Privacy Policy regardless of whether a browser sends a Do Not Track signal, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organizations, including links to original sources for statistics or information we cite.
Sterty does not control those third-party websites or their privacy practices. When you visit another website, its own terms and privacy policies apply.
A link from Sterty does not necessarily mean that we endorse the third party or everything on its website.
Children's Privacy
Sterty's website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed to children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information through this website from children under 16.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact admin@getsterty.com so we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Visitors Outside the United States
Sterty is based in the United States, and our services are primarily directed toward businesses in the United States.
If you access our website or contact us from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
If laws applicable to you require additional protections, we will address those requirements where they apply to Sterty's processing activities.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations.
The "Last updated" date at the top identifies the most recent revision.
If we make a material change affecting how we use personal information already collected, we will provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
