We collect personal data only when you provide it to us voluntarily, primarily through the contact form on the website. The data collected may include:

• Your name and email address, when you fill in the contact form;

3. How we use the data

We use the data provided exclusively to respond to requests and messages sent through the contact form. The legal basis for this processing is your consent, given by voluntarily submitting the contact form. We do not use this data for marketing purposes without your explicit consent, and we do not sell or rent it to third parties.

4. Contact form processing service

The website's contact form is processed through the third-party service Formspree, which forwards messages to our email address.

We recommend that you also review Formspree's policy for further details on how they process data.

5. Data retention period

We retain messages and contact data only for as long as necessary to respond to your request or to comply with legal obligations, after which we delete or anonymize them.
