Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use essential cookies for core functions and may use analytics and measurement cookies to understand how content performs.

Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described. Typical periods include up to 24 months for contact inquiries, up to 26 months for aggregated analytics, and approximately 90 days for server logs, unless a longer period is needed for legal, accounting, or security reasons.

Your information may be processed outside your country. For transfers from the EEA or UK to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and conduct risk assessments where required.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
