Automatically collected information: Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically collect standard server log data, including your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and analytics purposes.
Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., which pages are most visited, geographic distribution of visitors). These tools do not identify you personally.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Monitor and analyse usage patterns to improve user experience
- Detect and prevent security threats or abuse
- Respond to enquiries sent to us directly via email

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Cookies
This Site may use minimal, essential cookies to ensure the Site functions correctly (e.g., session preferences). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling.
Analytics tools we use may set their own cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; however, some features of the Site may not function correctly as a result.
4. Third-Party Services
The Site is hosted on Vercel, which processes server requests and may log standard web traffic data. Please refer to Vercel's Privacy Policy for details on their data practices.
The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may log your IP address when fonts are requested. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.
5. Data Retention
We do not store personal data on our servers beyond what is automatically captured in server logs by our hosting provider. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period (30–90 days) for security and diagnostic purposes, after which they are deleted.
6. Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal personal data, most requests will be straightforward.
EU/EEA residents may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the Site and any data processed in connection with it. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from this Site.
