We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you use our website, such as your browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs. We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how our site is used.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:

Communications
If you provide a phone number, you may receive limited text messages from us, typically fewer than one per month, about AJD activities and updates. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. After you opt out, we will not send you any further text messages, including updates and one-time verification codes, unless you re-subscribe by replying START.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send. As with text messages, we may still send transactional emails when needed to fulfill a request you make, such as confirming your email address or sending a secure update link.

How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate our website and communications (for example, email and SMS delivery providers), subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of AJD, our users, or others.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We do not share your text messaging opt-in or consent data with any third parties or affiliates for any purpose. The phone number you provide and your consent to receive text messages are used solely by AJD to send the messages you have requested.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, communicate with you, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it where practicable.
