Information We Collect

This is a static informational website. We do not operate user accounts, subscriptions, or persistent logins. The following data may be collected:

  • Contact form submissions: If you complete the contact form on the About page, the name, email address, phone number, and message text you enter are processed client-side only. No data is transmitted to a server or stored in a database.
  • Server access logs: Standard web server logs record IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, referring URLs, and pages requested. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes.
  • Analytics: This site may use anonymised traffic analytics. If so, no personally identifiable information is collected, and data is aggregated before storage.

You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect your ability to read content on this site.
