2. Information we may collect
Depending on the features you enable, the site may receive basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from technical data, and timestamps. If you voluntarily use our contact form, we may receive your name, email address and message.
3. Advertising and analytics
Before adding Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tags, remarketing tags, or other advertising technologies, configure consent and disclosures appropriate to your audience and jurisdictions. Google states that websites/apps should obtain a user's consent choice and communicate the consent signal to Google when consent management is required. See the Google Ads consent guidance.
Do not send payment-card numbers, bank credentials, passwords, security codes, or other sensitive personal information to advertising platforms through tags, forms or data uploads.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Necessary cookies or local storage may be used to remember site preferences. Optional analytics and advertising technologies should be activated only according to your implemented consent configuration and applicable law. The current demo cookie banner does not connect to a third-party CMP; a production site should use a properly configured consent solution where required.
5. Contact information
If you contact us, we use the information to respond, maintain the site, prevent abuse, and handle correction or support requests. Do not submit sensitive financial information.
6. Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law or needed for security, dispute handling, accounting, or legal obligations.
7. Sharing
We may use service providers for hosting, security, analytics, email, forms, and advertising. Configure this section to name the actual providers used on the final site. We do not need a vague statement that data is “never shared” if third-party services actually process it.
8. Your choices
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, deletion, correction, or information about certain processing. The exact rights and response requirements depend on your jurisdiction and the data involved.
9. Children's privacy
This site is general informational content and is not directed to children under 13. Do not knowingly collect children's personal information.
10. Security
Use HTTPS, current software, access controls, reputable hosting, and reasonable security practices. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
