Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal information: such as name, email address, or anything you voluntarily submit via forms.
• Usage data: pages visited, time spent, clicks, and general interaction patterns.
• Device data: browser type, device type, IP address, and operating system.
• Cookies: small files used to make the website function and remember preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Operate and maintain the website
• Improve performance and user experience
• Respond to inquiries or form submissions
• Analyse traffic and usage trends
• Prevent abuse, spam, or suspicious activity

Basically: make things work better instead of guessing blindly like it’s a science experiment.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the site functional
• Remember preferences
• Understand how the site is used

You can disable cookies in your browser, but parts of the site might start acting weird or stop working entirely.
That’s not sabotage, just consequences.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share limited data with trusted third-party services such as:

• Analytics providers
• Hosting services
• Email or communication tools

These services only receive what they need to do their job, not your entire digital soul.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data.

However, no system is 100% secure.
If someone ever claims they can guarantee perfect security, they are either lying or selling something.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as:

• GDPR
• UK GDPR
• POPIA
• CCPA/CPRA

These rights may include:

• Accessing your data
• Requesting corrections
• Requesting deletion
• Objecting to certain processing

7. Data Retention

We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy,
unless a longer retention period is required by law.

We don’t hoard data for fun. That’s not a hobby we’re interested in.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites.

We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or anything they decide to do with your data.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
Continued use of the site means you accept those changes.
