Scope

• Consent: for optional analytics/marketing cookies (only if enabled).

Sharing

Disclosures

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with service providers that help us run the site (e.g., hosting, error logging, analytics if enabled). These providers act on our instructions and implement safeguards.

Cookies

Cookies & similar tech

Essential cookies (if any) help the site function. Optional analytics or marketing cookies (if used) run only with your consent. You can usually control cookies via your browser settings as well.

Retention

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here. Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security and diagnostics. Emails and form submissions are retained for as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping.

Security

Keeping data safe

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
