Information we collect and why
If you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, topic and message you provide. We use these details to read and reply to your enquiry and, where needed, follow up. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to readers. Please do not send passwords or private files.
Like most websites, our hosting service may process technical information such as your IP address, browser details, pages requested and request time in server logs. We use this information to deliver the site, troubleshoot errors and protect it from misuse. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in keeping the site working and secure.
Cookies and your choices
The site uses a cookie to remember your light or dark mode choice for up to one year. CookieAdmin also remembers your cookie choice for up to 365 days. WordPress uses additional cookies when an authorized user logs in or edits the site.
We reviewed the current public pages and did not find active third-party analytics or advertising scripts there. If we add optional analytics, advertising or embedded services later, we will update this notice and present the relevant cookie choice before those services are enabled. You can use the CookieAdmin controls on the site to change your cookie preferences.
Who receives information
Our website hosting provider processes the technical data needed to serve and secure the site. Our email service processes messages submitted through the contact form so that we can receive and answer them. We do not sell personal information. To request the names and locations of the providers that handle your information, or details of any transfer outside the European Economic Area and its safeguards, use our contact form.
How long we keep information
We keep contact messages for as long as reasonably needed to answer the enquiry and handle any related follow-up, then delete them unless a legal obligation or dispute requires longer retention. Technical logs are kept according to our hosting and security needs. Cookie lifetimes are described above.
Your rights
Depending on your circumstances, you can ask to access, correct or erase your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and receive a copy of data where the right to portability applies. You can also complain to a data protection authority. Send requests through our contact form. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity before acting on a request.
