Contact Form Submissions
When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is stored in our database and is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to any mailing list or use them for marketing purposes unless you explicitly request it.

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data such as page views, referral sources, browser type, and approximate geographic region. We do not track individual users across sessions, and we do not build user profiles for advertising purposes.
Server Logs
Our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard server logs, including IP addresses, request timestamps, and URLs accessed. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes and are not used for tracking or profiling.
