We collect information that you provide directly to us, as well as technical data generated automatically during your visit:
- Direct Communications: If you contact us via the contact form or directly through email, we collect your name, email address, message subject, and the contents of your message.

- Technical & Log Data: Like most web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs standard request information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and timestamps.

4. Cookies, Local Storage & Analytics
We use minimal cookies and local browser storage strictly necessary for site functionality and aggregated traffic measurement:
