Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Some browsers or extensions transmit Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track signals. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a valid universal opt-out signal, we will process it as required.

We will use verification information only to process and document the request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authority and identity verification.
We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, including when we cannot verify identity, the request is fraudulent or excessive, information must be retained for legal or security reasons, or an applicable exception applies.

10. Marketing Communications
We may send business or marketing communications where permitted by law. You can opt out of promotional email by using the unsubscribe method included in the message or by contacting us at Contact Us.
Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending non-promotional communications, such as replies to your inquiry, project notices, security messages, invoices, or other service-related information.
11. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to social media platforms, client websites, portfolio projects, scheduling tools, or other third-party services.

Your interaction with a third-party service is governed by that service’s own terms and privacy notices.
12. International Visitors and Data Transfers
WebPro NC is based in North Carolina, United States. If you access the Website from another country, your information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers. Privacy laws in the destination jurisdiction may differ from those in your location.
13. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for business users and general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
