If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data under the following legal bases:
- Consent — where you have given us clear consent to process your data for a specific purpose (e.g. submitting a contact form).

5. Third-Party Services
The Site uses the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:
- Hosting infrastructure — The Site is hosted on GoDaddy's platform. GoDaddy's privacy policy applies to infrastructure-level data handling.

GA4 sets cookies on your device to distinguish visitors and track sessions. This data is processed by Google and may be transferred to servers in the United States. GA4 is only activated after you accept our cookie consent notice. You can opt out at any time by declining or revoking consent via the cookie banner, or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
