Website & advertising

When you visit navibound.com, standard server and analytics logs may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referrer, and rough location. Some pages load Google AdSense, which may set cookies or use identifiers to personalize and measure ads, subject to Google’s Advertising policies and settings you control in your Google account. Firebase or similar tools may operate on selected web pages consistent with provider terms.

Web consultation requests: If you submit a consultation form on an article page, we collect what you enter (for example name, email, optional phone, urgency) and contextual metadata tying the lead to that article topic, and we process it as described under “consultation forms” below.
