- Information you provide: If you use our contact form, we collect your name and email address to respond to your message. This data is used solely for the purpose of communication and is deleted once the conversation is concluded, unless a longer retention period is required by law or explicit consent is given for further communication.

Data collected via the contact form is retained only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. Anonymized analytics data is subject to the retention policies of the analytics provider (e.g., Google Analytics). We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
