2. What Data We Collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect the following categories of data:
Contact form: When you contact us through the contact form, we collect your full name, email address, and the content of your message.
The contact form is powered by WPForms Lite. Under the current configuration, Lite Connect is not used for remote backup of form submissions. WPForms states that the Lite version does not store submissions as entries in the WordPress database unless the optional Lite Connect feature is enabled.
Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
Usage data: With your consent, statistical information regarding your use of the website may be collected through Google Analytics, such as the pages you visit, general information about your device and browser, and approximate geographic information.
3. Why We Use Your Data
Information submitted through the contact form is used to receive, review, and respond to your enquiry and, where necessary, to take steps prior to the potential provision of services.
Sending a message through the contact form does not automatically subscribe you to our newsletter.
For newsletter communications, we use your information only if you have chosen to subscribe. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the relevant emails.
Google Analytics 4 is used for statistical analysis of the website in accordance with the consent choices you make through the cookie banner.
Depending on the circumstances, the processing of your personal data may be based on your consent, the necessity of taking steps prior to entering into a contract, or our legitimate interest in managing enquiries and ensuring the secure operation of the website. The relevant legal bases are provided for under Article 6 of the GDPR.
4. Newsletter and Mailchimp
We use the Mailchimp service, provided by Intuit, to manage our subscriber list and send newsletters.
When you subscribe to our newsletter, the email address you provide is transferred to Mailchimp for the purpose of managing your subscription and sending informational communications.
We use a double opt-in process for newsletter subscriptions. After submitting your email address, you will receive a confirmation email, and your subscription will be completed once you confirm your subscription.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our newsletters.
As part of the provision of this service, your data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable, appropriate safeguards provided for under applicable data protection legislation are used for such transfers.

Personal data may be processed by external service providers only to the extent necessary for the operation of the website and the provision of the relevant services.
These providers may include the website hosting provider, email service providers, Google in connection with Google Analytics, and Intuit/Mailchimp for the management and delivery of our newsletter.
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, appropriate safeguards provided for under applicable data protection legislation are implemented, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
