How We Comply

We do not store personal data in databases or customer accounts. Any data collected through cookies or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) is aggregated and anonymized where possible. We use only essential cookies for site functionality and performance, and we provide clear cookie consent mechanisms. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

Any personal data we process is limited to:

• IP addresses (anonymized in analytics tools)
• Browser type and device information (for site optimization)
• Cookie identifiers (for session and preference management)
• Form submissions via contact form (if you choose to contact us)

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on the following lawful grounds under GDPR:

• Legitimate Interest: To ensure website functionality, security, and performance.
• Consent: For non-essential cookies and analytics, we obtain your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
• Contractual Necessity: Only if you submit a contact form, we process your data to respond to your inquiry.
