2. Data We Collect

We collect personal data that you provide voluntarily through our contact form or email, including your name, company name, email address, role, deployment preference, and project description.

Note: Our contact form opens your email client (mailto:) — no data is submitted to or stored on our servers.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds (GDPR Art. 6):

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): When you voluntarily submit your data via the contact form.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): To respond to your inquiries and provide requested information.
• Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): When necessary to fulfil a contractual obligation.

4. Use of Data

We use your data solely to respond to your inquiries and provide the requested services. We do not share your data with third parties without your consent, unless required by law.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Email correspondence is retained for the duration of the business relationship and deleted upon request or after 3 years of inactivity.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

This website does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. We use browser local storage solely to save your theme preference (light/dark mode). This is classified as strictly necessary functionality under the ePrivacy Directive.

7. Third-Party Services

We do not embed third-party trackers, analytics, or advertising services. Fonts are self-hosted at build time — no runtime requests are made to external services such as Google Fonts.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data is not transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). If this changes in the future, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions).
