What we collect

Contact form submissions (your name, email address, message, and the referring page and any campaign parameters in the link you arrived through), newsletter signups where you have opted in, and privacy-friendly first-party page analytics. We do not use third-party advertising trackers, and we do not store your IP address in a readable form.

How it's used

To reply to your enquiry, to send the newsletter you asked for, and to understand which pages are read. The lawful basis is legitimate interest for responding to enquiries, and consent for the newsletter. Data is never sold or shared with advertisers.
