What Data We Collect

We collect personal data in one situation only: when you submit an inquiry through our contact form.

Data collected:

• Name
• Email address

We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We don’t sell it, share it with third parties, or use it for marketing without your explicit consent.

Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest — responding to a business inquiry you initiated.

Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 sets analytics cookies that collect anonymized data about page views and site behavior.

No personally identifiable information is linked to these cookies. You can opt out of GA4 tracking at any time via Google’s opt-out tool.

We do not use advertising, targeting, or tracking cookies.

Data Retention

Inquiry data (name and email) is retained only as long as necessary to evaluate and respond to your project inquiry. If no engagement begins, we delete this data within 90 days.

Your Rights

If you’re located in the EU, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
