1. Data We Collect

The personal data we collect is limited to what is necessary for the provision of our services and for improving user experience. Specifically, we gather:

• Email addresses: collected when you sign up for newsletters, create an account, or contact us.
• Cookies and similar technologies: used to store session identifiers, track user preferences, and analyze site usage.
• Analytics data: aggregated and anonymised information from Google Analytics and Matomo to understand traffic patterns and optimise content.

2. How We Protect Your Data

We employ a range of technical and organisational safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your personal data:

• All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (SSL).
• We store data on secure, geographically redundant servers maintained by reputable cloud providers with ISO 27001 certification.
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need‑to‑know basis, enforced through role‑based access controls and multi‑factor authentication.
• We implement regular vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and security patches to protect against emerging threats.
• Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes identified in this policy, or as required by law. After that, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing activities are based on the following lawful bases:

• Consent: When you voluntarily provide your email address or other personal details, we rely on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
