Purposes and legal bases for processing
- Providing the service and managing accounts — contract performance (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).

We only retain data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose:

- Directus — content management and data queries.
- Brevo (Sendinblue) — email delivery for contact forms.
We may disclose data to authorities when required by law.

Cookies and similar technologies
We use only essential cookies needed for the service (for example remembering your language or keeping you signed in). We do not run marketing or profiling cookies by default. You can restrict or delete cookies in your browser settings, although essential features may stop working.
Security
We apply technical and organisational safeguards such as role-based access control, encrypted connections, least-privilege principles, monitoring, and incident response procedures. While no internet service can guarantee absolute security, we follow industry best practices and review risks regularly.
Children
The service is not intended for unsupervised use by children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted on this page, and the latest version is always available at /privacy.
