How to contact us

1. Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information: (a) information that does not directly identify you, and (b) information that can identify you or could reasonably be used to identify you.

1.1 Non-personal information

When you browse the Website, we may collect non-identifying technical and usage information, such as your browser type, device type, operating system, language preference, approximate location (derived from IP address), referral pages, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and interactions (clicks, scrolls, and similar activity). This data is used to understand how the Website is used and to improve performance and content quality.

We may aggregate or de-identify information so it cannot reasonably be linked to you. Aggregated or de-identified information may be used and shared without restriction.

1.2 Personal information

We may collect personal information when you provide it to us directly, for example when you:

Subscribe to our newsletter (e.g., email address);
Submit a contact request (e.g., name, email address, and message content);
Post comments or other content where available (e.g., name and email address).

We may also process IP addresses and similar identifiers for security, fraud prevention, and website integrity purposes.

If we combine personal information with non-personal information, we treat the combined data as personal information while it remains combined.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember your preferences, measure performance, and understand how visitors interact with our content.

A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser on your device. Some cookies are set by us (first-party), and others may be set by service providers we use (third-party), such as analytics or advertising partners.

2.1 Types of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary cookies: required for basic site functionality and security.
Performance/analytics cookies: help us understand traffic and usage patterns so we can improve the Website.
Functionality cookies: remember choices such as language or display preferences.
Advertising/marketing cookies (if enabled): used to measure campaigns and, where applicable, show more relevant advertising.

2.2 Your cookie choices

You can manage your cookie preferences via our cookie notice (where available). You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the Website functions.

2.3 More information

Details about cookies we use and their retention periods can be found in our Cookies Policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and improve the Website and Services;
To understand how visitors use our content and to improve usability and performance;
To respond to inquiries and provide support;
To send newsletters or updates when you subscribe (you can unsubscribe at any time);
To monitor, prevent, and address security issues, abuse, or fraud;
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

Where required by law, we rely on your consent (for example, for certain cookies and marketing emails). In other cases, we may rely on legitimate interests (such as improving our Services and keeping the Website secure), provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following situations:

Service providers: with vendors who help us operate the Website (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, security). They may access information only to perform services for us and are required to protect it.
Corporate transactions: in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, where permitted by law.
Legal and safety: when required to comply with law or a valid legal request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Website, our users, or others.

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing any information.

5. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We also may retain certain information to resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information, including the use of encryption (such as SSL/TLS) where appropriate and access controls for systems that store data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a data breach that we are required to report, we will notify affected users and/or relevant authorities as required by law.

7. International Data Transfers

Because we operate online, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps to provide an appropriate level of protection for cross-border transfers in accordance with applicable laws.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise your rights, please contact us. We may request information to verify your identity before responding. We aim to respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page, and changes take effect when published.
