What information we collect
Contact form submissions
When you use our contact form, we collect:

This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
Analytics data (Google Analytics 4)
If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use this Website. GA4 collects information such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website or search query
- Browser type, operating system, and device type
- Country-level location (not precise location)
This data is collected pseudonymously and is processed by Google LLC. GA4 scripts only load after you give explicit cookie consent via the consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookies" or clearing your browser's local storage for this domain.
For more information on how Google handles analytics data, see the Google Privacy Policy. To opt out of GA4 tracking across all websites, use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies and local storage
We use the following types of cookies and browser storage:
- Consent preference: a localStorage entry that records your cookie consent decision (accept or decline). This is strictly necessary to remember your preference and is not used for tracking.
- Analytics cookies (GA4): only set after you accept cookies. These are set by Google Analytics to distinguish users and sessions. They expire within 2 years.
We do not use advertising, social media, or any other third-party tracking cookies.
Third-party services
Web3Forms (contact form processing)
Our contact form submissions are processed by Web3Forms, a third-party form service. When you submit the contact form, your name, email address, and message are sent to Web3Forms' servers and forwarded to our inbox. Web3Forms does not retain form submissions permanently. Please review the Web3Forms Privacy Policy for details on their data handling.
Google Analytics 4
As described above, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure site traffic. This service is provided by Google LLC and is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. GA4 only activates after you accept cookies via our consent banner.
Google Fonts
This Website loads fonts (Inter, Plus Jakarta Sans, JetBrains Mono) from Google Fonts, which may result in your browser making a request to Google's servers. Google may log your IP address when serving font files. See the Google Privacy Policy for details.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form
- Understand how visitors use our Website and improve its content (analytics, only with consent)

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

Data retention
Contact form enquiries are retained in our email inbox for as long as is necessary to manage the business relationship. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for up to 14 months per Google's default settings.
