1. Introduction Greater New Orleans Militaria Show (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates https://greaterneworleansmilitariashow.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and your rights. By using the Site or submitting information through our contact forms, you agree to the collection and use of information described here.

3. Information we collect

• Information you provide directly: name, email address, phone number, message content, and any other information you enter into contact forms.
• Technical and usage information collected automatically: IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, referring/exit pages, and device information (collected via server logs and cookies).
• Information from third‑party services: basic profile information when you authorize a third‑party login/OAuth flow (if applicable).

4. How we use your information We use collected information to:

• Receive, route, and respond to contact form submissions and inquiries.
• Send email notifications and confirmations using our configured email service.
• Diagnose site problems, administer the Site, and improve our services.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
  We do not sell your personal information.

5. Email delivery, Google OAuth, and WP Mail SMTP We use WP Mail SMTP (or similar) and Google’s APIs to deliver contact form submissions to opmilitaria@gmail.com. To enable secure email sending, the Site may use Google OAuth. In that process:

• Google authorization is used only to permit the Site to send email and to authenticate the sending account.
• The app may request basic profile information (name and email) and permission to send email on behalf of the authorized account.
• We do not read or store the contents of the account’s Gmail messages. We store only the minimal tokens/credentials necessary to send email from the configured account; these are held on the Site’s server and protected by standard security practices.
• You can revoke the Site’s access at any time via your Google Account settings (Security → Third‑party apps with account access).

6. Sharing and disclosure We may share personal information with:

• Service providers who perform services for us (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics) under confidentiality obligations.
• Law enforcement or regulators if required by law or to protect rights or safety.
  We require service providers to protect personal data and use it only for authorized purposes.

7. Cookies and tracking technologies The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and provide analytics. Cookies may be essential (to maintain form sessions) or non‑essential (analytics). You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings; blocking cookies may affect Site functionality.
8. Analytics and third‑party services We may use third‑party services (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect usage data. These services have their own privacy policies and controls. Where appropriate, we anonymize or aggregate analytics data.
9. Data retention We retain contact form submissions and associated personal information only as long as necessary to respond to inquiries and for legitimate business and legal purposes—typically up to 2 years—unless you request earlier deletion or we are required by law to retain it longer.
10. Security We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is 100% secure.
11. Your rights Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights including access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at opmilitaria@gmail.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority where applicable.
12. Children The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
13. International transfers Information collected on the Site may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries. By using the Site, you consent to such transfers.
14. Changes to this policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
