We never sell or share private client photographs with third parties, and we only feature client restorations publicly with explicit prior permission.
- Automatically Collected Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard log files when you browse the site. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, device type, operating system, and date/time stamps.
2. Cookies, Google AdSense, and Third-Party Advertising

Articles on this website frequently include embedded content such as YouTube videos, Instagram posts, TikTok videos, and links to external storefronts such as our Etsy shop (BHTLDesigns). Embedded content from third-party platforms behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content in accordance with their own privacy policies.
