1. What data we collect
- Contact form data: When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. Subject and service interest fields are optional.
- Analytics data: If you consent to analytics cookies, we may collect anonymised data about how you navigate the site — pages visited, time on site, and general location (country level). This data is aggregated and not tied to your identity.
- Cookie preferences: Your cookie consent choices are stored locally in your browser via localStorage. This data does not leave your device unless explicitly shared through consent-enabled cookies.

2. How we use your data

- Improving the website: Anonymised analytics data helps us understand which pages are most useful and where improvements can be made.
- Security: Technical log data is used to detect and prevent malicious activity, protect the integrity of the website, and ensure stable service.
- Legal basis: Processing is based on legitimate interest (security), consent (analytics, advertising cookies), and contract performance (responding to enquiries).
3. Data sharing and third parties
We do not sell personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Where third-party tools are used (such as analytics platforms), data is shared only in accordance with your cookie consent choices and the applicable data processing agreements.
We may share data if required by law or in response to a lawful government request.
