1. Data We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.
We automatically collect usage data including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages via analytics tools.
We do not collect sensitive personal data such as health, financial, or government-issued identification information.

Preference and marketing cookies are only set with your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
You can withdraw consent or manage cookies at any time through our Cookie Policy page or your browser settings.
4. Third-Party Services
