  • approximate device and browser information (e.g., user agent);
  • basic request data (e.g., timestamp, page requested);
  • cookie consent and preferences (where applicable); and
  • aggregated performance metrics, if enabled via cookies.

We do not embed external analytics tags in the page head. Cookie-related scripts, if used, are loaded from a local path.

  • Website operation: to deliver pages, keep the site secure, and maintain reliable performance.
  • Compliance and recordkeeping: to maintain business records and handle legal or regulatory requests where applicable.

Legal grounds (general explanation)

Depending on context and applicable law, processing may be based on: (i) your request or our communications with you, (ii) steps related to providing services, (iii) legitimate operational needs (such as security and preventing abuse), and (iv) compliance obligations where they apply.

5) Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device to support site functionality and preferences. We may use cookies in the following categories:

  • Required: essential for core site operation and security-related functions.
  • Performance: helps us understand general usage patterns to improve page performance and UX.

How cookie preferences work on this site

Cookie preferences may be presented by a local script (loaded from ./assets/js/cookie.min.js). For performance reasons, the cookie script is loaded only after the first scroll action.

Managing cookies

  • You can manage cookies in your browser settings (block, delete, or restrict cookies).
  • If the site provides cookie controls, you can adjust preferences using those controls.
  • Blocking some cookie categories may affect how certain features work.

6) Sharing & processors

We may share personal data in limited situations:

  • Service providers: hosting, email, or operational tooling providers that process data on our behalf (as processors) to operate the website and communication channels.
  • Professional advisors: where necessary for business administration, compliance, or dispute handling.
  • Legal requirements: if required by law, regulation, or lawful requests by authorities.

We aim to limit sharing to what is necessary and appropriate for the stated purpose.

7) Retention

We retain personal data for as long as needed to:

  • respond to your inquiry and maintain reasonable records of communications;
  • deliver services and manage revisions (if an engagement begins);
  • comply with applicable recordkeeping requirements; and
  • resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

Retention duration depends on the context. When data is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is risk-free, so please use appropriate discretion when sending information.
