2. Personal Data We Process
When you use our contact form, we process your name, email address, message and any other information you voluntarily provide.
When you visit our website, technical data such as IP addresses, device and browser information, and usage information may also be processed, depending on the services involved.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process contact information to respond to enquiries, provide information about our services and consider potential collaborations.
Depending on the nature of your request, the legal basis is taking steps before entering into a contract at your request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) or our legitimate interest in managing business communications (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Optional analytics processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
4. Contact Form and FormSubmit
Our contact form uses FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), an external service that transmits submitted messages to our professional email account.
FormSubmit may process submitted information and technical data necessary for service delivery, security and spam prevention.
According to FormSubmit's published documentation, form submissions are retained by the service for 30 days. This period does not determine how long messages remain in our business email account.

Optional analytics technologies are activated only when you provide consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
Our current Google Analytics data retention settings are:

These settings apply to specific categories of Analytics data and do not necessarily affect standard aggregated reports.

6. Cookies and Consent
Our website provides a mechanism for managing your preferences regarding optional analytics cookies.
You may accept or reject optional analytics and change your decision at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
7. Recipients and Service Providers
To operate our website and manage business communications, we use external services that may process personal data as necessary.
These include FormSubmit for contact form delivery, our professional email provider, Google Analytics and our website hosting infrastructure.
Each provider's role as a processor or independent controller depends on the service and applicable contractual arrangements.
8. International Data Transfers
Some external service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
Where international transfers take place, appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards must apply in accordance with applicable data protection law.
9. Data Retention
We retain contact messages in our professional email account for as long as they are necessary for business communications, handling enquiries or meeting legal obligations.
Personal data should be periodically reviewed and deleted when there is no longer a legitimate and necessary purpose for retaining it.
Information processed by external providers is also subject to their respective retention policies and settings.

Subject to the applicable GDPR requirements, you may request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal data, restriction of processing, data portability, or object to certain processing activities.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
