Information We Collect

Information You Voluntarily Provide

We keep data collection to a minimum. The only personal information we collect directly from you is what you submit through our contact form:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The content of your message

We do not require account registration, store payment details, or maintain user profiles on this website.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical data is recorded automatically by our servers and third-party services:

• IP address — logged by our web server and Cloudflare
• Browser type and version — e.g., Chrome 120, Firefox 122
• Operating system — e.g., Windows 11, macOS Sonoma
• Referring URL — the page that linked you here
• Pages visited and time spent — which pages you view and how long you stay
• Device type — desktop, mobile, or tablet
• Approximate location — country and region level, derived from your IP address

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses several types of cookies:

Essential Cookies
WordPress sets functional cookies required for the website to operate properly. These handle basic features like page navigation and do not track you across other websites.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)
We may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our website. GA4 collects aggregated data such as page views, session duration, traffic sources, and general demographic information. GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history across websites. Third-party advertising networks, including Google, may also place cookies for this purpose. You can manage your ad personalization preferences at Google Ad Settings, or opt out of third-party ad cookies at aboutads.info.

Cloudflare Cookies
Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, sets cookies (such as __cf_bm) that help distinguish human visitors from automated traffic. These cookies are necessary for security and performance and do not track you for advertising purposes.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve this website
• To analyze visitor traffic and usage patterns through analytics tools
• To display relevant advertisements through our advertising partners
• To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form
• To detect and prevent security threats, abuse, and spam

We do not use your data for any purpose beyond what is described in this policy.

Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of third-party services to run this website. Each service has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles data:

• Google Analytics 4 — web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense — advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google Ads Policy
• Cloudflare, Inc. — CDN, DNS, and security services. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
• WordPress — open-source content management system. This website is self-hosted; no user data is sent to WordPress.org.

We do not control how these third parties handle your information. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data to anyone.

We do not share your personal information with third parties except through the services described above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare), which process data as part of their standard operations.

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

We may share aggregated, non-identifiable data (such as total visitor counts or popular pages) for internal analysis and website improvement.

Data Retention

• Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days, then automatically purged
• Analytics data: Retained according to our Google Analytics configuration (default: 14 months)
• Contact form submissions: Retained until the inquiry has been resolved, then deleted
• Cookies: Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire according to their individual settings (typically 30 days to 2 years)

Your Rights and Choices

You have several options for managing your data and privacy:

• Cookies: You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect website functionality.
