2. Data we collect

This site collects minimal personal data. The following categories may be processed:

• Contact form submissions: name, email address, telephone number, and message content. These are used solely to respond to the enquiry. They are not stored in a database after the response has been sent unless the correspondent requests ongoing communication.
• Server access logs: IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited, retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and performance monitoring. These logs are not used to identify individual users and are not shared with third parties.
• Cookies: a single functional cookie is set if you accept the cookie consent banner. It stores your consent preference (accepted or rejected) in your browser's localStorage for 365 days. No tracking cookies or advertising cookies are used on this site.

3. Legal basis for processing

Processing of contact form data is based on your consent, given by submitting the form (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). Server log processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining site security (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). No data is processed for marketing or profiling purposes.
