privacy policy

Hazelnut Digital ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights available to visitors, including residents of California.

• Respond to inquiries

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure website performance, analyze visitor behavior, and improve our services.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect portions of the website.

Sharing of Personal Information

Our website uses third-party analytics and advertising technologies — including the Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity — that collect information such as device identifiers, IP address, and browsing activity and disclose it to those providers. Under California law (the CCPA/CPRA), some of this activity may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out at any time using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link on our site, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. We may also share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, send email communications, or host our content. These providers are contractually required to use the information only to provide services on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• The right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
• The right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• The right to request access to the personal information we maintain about you.
• The right to limit the use of certain sensitive personal information, where applicable.
• The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

Because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not offer a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" option. To exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us using the information below.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing electronic data is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page along with an updated Effective Date.
