Information we collect
This website does not require you to create an account, and it does not collect personal information through on-site forms. The information we collect is limited to the following:
- Technical log data. Our web server automatically records standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for security, diagnostics, and abuse prevention.
- Analytics data. With your consent, we collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site (such as pages viewed and general location) to help us improve it. See “Cookies and analytics” below.
- Information you choose to provide. If you contact us through Hiltz and Associates, any information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) is handled under this policy and the privacy practices of Hiltz and Associates.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies for essential site functionality and, with your consent, for analytics. When you first visit, a cookie-consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies or adjusting your browser settings.
For analytics we use Matomo, a self-hosted analytics platform that runs on our own infrastructure. Analytics data is stored on our servers and is not sold or shared with third-party advertising networks. You can opt out of analytics by declining non-essential cookies in the consent banner.

We use the limited information described above to operate, secure, and improve this website, to understand how it is used, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to respond to inquiries directed to Hiltz and Associates. We do not use this information for automated decision-making or profiling.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information within Hiltz and Associates for the purposes described in this policy, with service providers who help us operate the site, or where required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, and property.
Data retention
We retain technical log and analytics data only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by applicable law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Data security
Given the nature of our work, we take the security of information seriously. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain processing.
