We do not collect names, email addresses, payment details, or other directly identifying personal information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or email correspondence.

How We Use Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Under UK GDPR, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests — we have a legitimate interest in understanding how visitors use our website so that we can improve it. This processing is proportionate and does not override your fundamental rights.

Hosting providers — our website is hosted on servers that process technical data (IP addresses, request logs) as part of normal web server operations.

Content delivery networks — to serve fonts and static assets efficiently, which may involve processing your IP address.
