- Site browsing data: basic technical information automatically sent by your browser (e.g., IP address, device type, pages viewed, timestamps). Used for security, performance, and aggregated analytics.
- Contact information: if you email us or use a contact form on the About & Contact page, we receive your email address and the content of your message.
- Newsletter (if enabled in the future): your email address and subscription preferences.

How We Use Data
Purposes: to operate and secure the website, deliver content (including images and blog posts), respond to messages, send optional updates (with consent), and analyze performance to improve readability and access.
Legal bases (where applicable): consent (e.g., newsletter), legitimate interests (site security, basic analytics), and compliance with legal obligations (record-keeping where required).
Retention: we keep contact messages as long as necessary to respond and maintain project history, then delete or archive safely. Technical logs are typically short-lived. If a newsletter is offered, you can unsubscribe at any time and we delete your email from the list.
Security: we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data; however, no system is perfectly secure. Please avoid sending sensitive information by email.
Third parties and transfers: we may use privacy-focused analytics and email service providers to operate the site. These processors act on our instructions. Data may be stored outside your country; when we do so, we aim to use providers with appropriate safeguards.
