2. What Data We Collect

We collect two types of data:

a) Data you provide directly

• Email address — if you subscribe to our newsletter. We only collect this when you voluntarily submit the sign-up form.
• Name (optional) — if you include it in a contact form submission.

b) Data collected automatically

• Analytics data — we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. This includes pages visited, time spent, approximate location (country/city level), device type, and traffic source. This data is anonymised and aggregated — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.
• Server logs — our hosting provider, Vercel, may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. These logs are used for security and performance monitoring.

• To respond to enquiries sent via our contact form

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising targeting.
