Who we are

Information we collect
Information you give us
If you email us, directly or through the contact form, we receive your name, email address and whatever you choose to write. The contact form does not send data to our servers: it opens your own email app.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider, Vercel Inc., processes technical data such as IP address, browser type, requested pages and time of request, in server logs, to deliver the Site securely and prevent abuse. We do not use these logs to identify individual visitors.
We do not currently use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics. If this changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.
Third-party resources
The Site loads web fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these fonts, Google receives your IP address. See Google's privacy policy.
How we use information
- To reply to your messages and act on corrections you send.
- To keep the Site secure, available and working correctly.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

How long we keep data
We keep correspondence for up to 24 months, unless it is needed longer for a correction record or a legal reason. Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period under its own policy.
Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, withdraw consent, or nominate someone to exercise your rights.
