Information We Collect
We gather two categories of information: Personal Information and other data.
Personal Information is data that can identify you directly, like your email address or name.
We only collect this if you choose to provide it, such as when signing up for our newsletter or sending a contact message.

Other information includes online identifiers and usage details.
These may include IP addresses, cookie IDs, device types, browser settings, and pages visited.
Under laws like GDPR, these online identifiers may count as personal data depending on context.
We do not collect sensitive details like health data or financial info.
In simple terms: most visits are anonymous unless you reach out to us.
How We Collect and Use Information
We collect information automatically through site tools and when you interact voluntarily.
Automatic methods include server logs capturing IP addresses and visit timestamps.
Interactive ways involve forms where you enter details for newsletters or inquiries.

We share minimal data with service providers for hosting and email delivery.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device.
We use essential cookies for site functionality, like remembering preferences.

We do not run our own cross-site tracking.

Data Retention and Security Measures
We keep information only as long as needed for our purposes.
Personal Information from newsletters lasts while subscribed, plus a limited period after unsubscription.
Contact details are retained until your query resolves, then deleted unless required otherwise.
Other data like logs is held for a limited time for security and analysis.
We use reasonable safeguards, such as secure servers, access controls, and encryption for sensitive transmissions.
No system is fully risk-free, but we protect against common threats.
