Do We Sell Personal Information?
Package Size Guide does not operate as a data broker and does not intentionally sell personal information submitted through our contact forms in exchange for direct monetary payment.
Certain privacy laws may define terms such as "sale," "sharing" or targeted advertising more broadly than their ordinary meaning. Advertising or analytics technologies may therefore be treated differently depending on applicable law.
Data Retention
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.
For example, technical logs may be retained for security or troubleshooting purposes, while contact messages may be retained for correspondence, record-keeping or abuse prevention.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled through the website.
However, no website, server, database, network or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors should therefore avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through the website.

Website infrastructure, service providers or technical systems may process information in countries other than the country where a visitor is located.
Privacy protections and data-processing rules may differ between jurisdictions.
