What data we collect

We only process data you voluntarily provide — for example, when you contact us by email or phone via the links available on the website. We do not operate online contact forms that store data.

If analytics cookies are in use (see "Cookies" section), we may collect aggregated technical data such as browser type, pages visited, and session duration. This data is anonymized whenever possible and is never sold to third parties.

Purposes of processing

The data we collect is used solely to: respond to information and quote requests; improve the user experience on the website; fulfil legal obligations where applicable.

We do not use your data for direct marketing without your explicit consent.

Cookies

This website uses essential cookies for its operation (for example, language preference). These cookies do not require prior consent as they are strictly necessary.

When analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) are enabled, your prior consent will be requested through a cookie banner. You can withdraw that consent at any time by clearing cookies from your browser.

Data processors

We rely on service providers that, acting as processors, handle data on our behalf and meet the same data-protection requirements:

• Sanity (CMS) — storage of website content.

• Render (hosting) — server where the website runs.

• Google Analytics (optional, subject to consent) — aggregated website usage analytics.

Data retention

We keep data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or the period required by law (for example, accounting records must be kept for ten years).
