If you have any questions about this Policy or how we handle data, please contact us at the email above.
3. Personal Data We Collect
The Website is purely informational. We do not operate user accounts, registration forms, mailing lists, or e-commerce. We therefore do not knowingly collect or store any personal data such as names, email addresses, telephone numbers, or payment details through the Website itself.
The only data-related activity on the Website is the use of cookies, which is described in detail in Section 5 below.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where any processing of personal data occurs in connection with cookies (for example, through analytics), we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): for analytical or non-essential cookies, we obtain your consent via our cookie banner before placing such cookies on your device.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): for strictly necessary cookies that are required for the Website to function correctly. No consent is required for these.
5. Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Below is an explanation of how we use them.
5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to operate and cannot be switched off. They do not identify you as an individual. Examples include session cookies that remember your cookie preferences.
5.2 Analytical / Performance Cookies
We may use analytical cookies (Google Analytics (provided by Google Ireland Limited)) to understand how visitors use the Website - for example, which pages are visited most often and how long visitors spend on the site. This data is aggregated and anonymous. These cookies are only placed with your prior consent.
5.3 Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit the Website, you are presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Change cookie preferences" in the footer of the Website.
You can also control or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website. For guidance, visit:
6. Third-Party Services and Links
The Website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their respective privacy policies.
Where third-party tools (such as analytics providers) are used via cookies, those providers may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where required by GDPR, we ensure appropriate data processing agreements are in place.
7. International Data Transfers
Some third-party analytics tools may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms, in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR.
8. Data Retention
Because we do not collect personal data directly through the Website, we do not hold personal records of Website visitors.
Any data collected through analytical cookies is retained only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. For Google Analytics, data is retained for up to 26 months by default, or as required by the relevant third-party provider's data retention policy. Cookie consent preferences are stored on your device and expire in accordance with the relevant cookie's lifespan.

- Right to restriction of processing (Article 18): to request that we limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability (Article 20): to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object (Article 21): to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3)): where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Given that we do not collect personal data directly, most of these rights may have limited practical application. However, if you believe we hold any of your personal data and wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at . We will respond within 30 days.
