## Information we collect
- Contact details (name, email address, phone number)
- Usage data (pages visited, clicks, time on site)
- Device and connection data (IP address, browser type, operating system)

## How we use your information
- To provide and operate the service
- To respond to your requests and provide support
- To understand how the site is used and improve it
- To keep the service secure and prevent fraud and abuse
- To comply with legal obligations

## Legal bases (EU/UK GDPR)
We process personal data on these legal bases: performance of a contract (to provide the service), legitimate interests (analytics, security and improving the service, balanced against your rights), consent (marketing emails and non-essential cookies, which you can withdraw at any time), and legal obligation.

## Third parties we share data with
We use these service providers, who process data on our behalf or as independent controllers:
- **Google Analytics** — website analytics. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- **Cloudflare** — content delivery and security. Privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We don't sell your personal information.

## Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, understand usage. See our Cookie Policy for details. You can control cookies through your browser settings and our cookie consent banner.

## How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above — for example, account data while your account is active, and analytics data for up to 26 months — unless a longer period is required by law.

## Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

## International transfers
Some providers process data outside your country. Where required, we rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

## Your rights
If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising. We honour Global Privacy Control signals. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To exercise your rights, email [contact email]. We will respond within the time required by law (usually one month).

## Children
Our service is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in the EU), and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

## Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We'll post the new version here and change the effective date; significant changes will be highlighted.
