Privacy Policy

1. Data We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.

We also collect data automatically via cookies and analytics tools, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to deliver and improve our content, respond to inquiries, send newsletters you have opted into, and analyse site traffic.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.

We use essential cookies to operate the site and analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content.

You may disable non-essential cookies via your browser settings or our cookie banner. See our Cookie Policy at #/cookies for full details.

4. Third Parties

We share data only with trusted service providers (hosting, email delivery, analytics) who are contractually bound to protect it.

We may embed content from third-party platforms (e.g. Google Maps, YouTube). Those platforms operate under their own privacy policies.

We never sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures — HTTPS encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your data.

No transmission over the internet is entirely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but commit to prompt breach notification where required by law.
