Personal Information We Collect

When we use the term “personal information,” we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you. We may collect the following categories of personal information depending on how you interact with the Website:

• Contact form submissions including your name, email address, and the content of your message, when you submit an inquiry through our contact form.
• Newsletter subscription including your email address, when you sign up for our newsletter.

This information is collected automatically through our self-hosted Census analytics and, where applicable, through Google Analytics.
• Advertising data including page views, conversion events, and device identifiers that may be sent to Google Ads via server-side Google Tag Manager for the purpose of measuring advertising effectiveness.
• Cookies placed by our analytics and advertising tools to distinguish visitors and understand usage patterns. See the “Data Storage” section below for more details.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

• Responding to inquiries. We use the information you submit through our contact form to respond to your questions and requests. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of pre-contractual measures or our legitimate interest in responding to communications (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
• Sending newsletters. We use your email address to send you our newsletter, which you have opted in to receive. The legal basis for this processing is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email.
• Website analytics. We use Census, a self-hosted analytics tool, to understand how visitors use our Website, improve our content, and ensure the Website functions properly. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the Website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We also use Google Analytics for additional usage analysis; in jurisdictions that require consent for third-party tracking, Google Analytics data is only collected after you provide consent via our cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) where required, or our legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) elsewhere.
• Advertising measurement. We use server-side Google Tag Manager to send conversion data to Google Ads in order to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. In jurisdictions that require consent, this data is only sent after you provide consent via our cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) where required, or our legitimate interest in marketing measurement (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) elsewhere.
• Legal compliance. We may use your personal information to comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process. The legal basis for this processing is compliance with legal obligations (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)).

Data Storage

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies placed by our self-hosted Census analytics tool and, where applicable, by Google Analytics and Google Ads. Data is transmitted to Google services via a server-side Google Tag Manager (SGTM) integration.

The following types of cookies are used:

• Essential analytics cookies placed by Census to distinguish visitors, track page views, and understand usage patterns across sessions. These cookies do not track you across third-party websites.
• Third-party analytics and advertising cookies placed by Google Analytics and Google Ads to analyze Website usage and measure advertising effectiveness. In jurisdictions that require consent for such tracking, these cookies are only set after you provide consent via our cookie banner.

In jurisdictions where consent is required (including the EU/EEA, UK, and Switzerland), a cookie consent banner is displayed when you first visit the Website. Third-party analytics and advertising cookies will not be set until you provide your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings on the Website.

You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:

• Contact form submissions are retained for up to 2 years after your inquiry has been resolved, unless a longer retention period is required for legal purposes.
• Newsletter email addresses are retained for as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted within 30 days.
• Analytics data is retained in aggregated form. Individual-level analytics data, including IP addresses, is deleted or anonymized within 90 days of collection.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of third parties:

• Hosting provider that hosts the Website and processes data on our behalf.
• Email service provider that we use to send newsletter communications on our behalf.
• Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads) for website analytics and advertising measurement. Data is transmitted to Google via server-side Google Tag Manager. Google may process this data in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy. In jurisdictions that require consent, data is only shared with Google after you provide consent.

These service providers are contractually obligated to process your personal information only on our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

We may also disclose your personal information: (a) to comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process; (b) in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy; or (c) to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public.

International Transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than where you reside, including the United States. If we transfer your personal information out of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will rely on recognized transfer mechanisms like the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK or Switzerland, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.
