1. Overview

We value your privacy. This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when using this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. If a local law provides you with additional rights, those rights apply alongside this policy.

By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here, subject to your cookie preferences where applicable.

2. Data we collect

2.1 Data you provide

  • Contact details (for example, name and email address) when you submit a form.
  • Message content or questions you send us.
  • Preferences you choose (such as cookie settings and theme selection).

2.2 Data collected automatically

  • Device and browser information (e.g., browser type, operating system, language).
  • Approximate location inferred from IP address (country/region-level).
  • Usage data such as pages viewed, referral source, and interactions.
  • Cookie and local storage identifiers (depending on your preferences).

2.3 Sensitive data

We do not intend to collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health information). Please do not submit sensitive information through our forms. If you do, you consent to our processing of that information in order to respond to your request.

3. How we use data

We use the information we collect for purposes that include:

  • Providing, operating, and improving the website.
  • Responding to inquiries and support requests.
  • Remembering preferences (cookie choices, theme).
  • Understanding performance and usage trends (analytics, if enabled).
  • Protecting against fraud, abuse, and security threats.
  • Complying with legal obligations and enforcing terms.

We process data based on legitimate interests (site security and improvement), consent (non-essential cookies/analytics where required), and/or contractual necessity when you request services or information.

4. Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies such as local storage for remembering preferences. You can control non-essential cookies via our cookie banner and preferences panel.

4.1 Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly necessary: required for basic website functionality and security.
  • Preferences: remember choices like theme and cookie settings.
  • Analytics: help us understand usage to improve content and performance.

4.2 Managing cookies

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by opening the Cookie Preferences panel on this page. You may also delete cookies through your browser settings; however, some features may stop working.

5. Analytics

If you allow analytics cookies, we may collect aggregated usage information to understand which pages are useful and to improve the user experience. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not intended to identify you.

5.1 What we measure (examples)

  • Page views and navigation paths.
  • Approximate location (country/region).
  • Device and browser categories.
  • Performance timings (e.g., time to first interaction).

5.2 Opting out

You can disable analytics at any time via Cookie Preferences. If disabled, we will avoid setting analytics identifiers on your device and will not record page events in our internal analytics module.

6. Sharing & disclosures

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information in the following situations:

  • Service providers: vendors that help operate the website (e.g., hosting). They are bound by confidentiality and only process data for our instructions.
  • Legal obligations: where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
  • Protection: to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, the public, or our services.
  • Business changes: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer (with appropriate safeguards).

7. Security

We implement reasonable safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we continuously improve our security practices.

  • Access control and least-privilege practices for administrative systems.
  • Transport encryption (HTTPS) for website traffic when available.
  • Monitoring and rate limiting to reduce abuse.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including for legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention length depends on the nature of the data and why it was collected.

  • Cookie preferences are kept until you change them or clear your browser storage.
  • Contact requests are retained for a reasonable period to address your request and for record-keeping.
  • Aggregated analytics (if enabled) may be retained longer because it does not directly identify you.

9. Your rights & choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, and objection. You may also have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential processing.

9.1 How to exercise your rights

Use the request form to submit your privacy request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity and protect your data.

This website is not directed to children under 13 (or another age threshold required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards to protect your information in line with applicable law.
