What this policy covers

This policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit the site. By using the site, you agree to this policy (where required by law, we only use non-essential tools after you consent via our cookie banner).

Information we collect

Information you provide

If you contact us (e.g. by email), we receive whatever you send (name, email address, message content).

Information collected automatically

When you browse the site, standard technical data may be processed, such as approximate location (country/city level), device type, browser, pages viewed, and referring site. We use this to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our cookie banner and settings (CookieYes). Essential cookies are needed for the site to function. Other cookies (for example analytics) are used only where allowed by your choices and applicable law.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to collect aggregated statistics about traffic and usage. Google may process data according to its own policies. You can learn more at Google’s privacy policy and use Google’s opt-out browser add-on where available.

Hosting and content

The site is built with Next.js and may load reading content from Ghost CMS. Those providers process technical data needed to deliver pages (e.g. IP address, request logs) under their own terms and privacy notices.

How we use information

We use the information above to operate and secure the site, measure audience and improve content and layout, respond to messages you send us and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

Legal basis

Where GDPR applies, we rely on legitimate interests (site operation, security, aggregated analytics where permitted), consent (non-essential cookies/analytics where we ask for it), and contract / legal obligation where relevant.

Retention

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and handle follow-up. Analytics and server logs are kept for typical operational periods defined by our tools and host (often months, unless a longer period is required by law).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing, or to object or withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

International transfers

Providers such as Google may process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) as offered by those providers.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top will change when we do.
