If that changes in the future, we’ll update this policy and use legal safeguards.
We take your privacy seriously and use basic but strong protection methods:
SSL/HTTPS encryption to protect your connection
Strong passwords for all admin access
Regular updates to software and plugins
Firewall tools like Wordfence to block threats

Here’s how long we keep your data:
Contact form messages – kept for 1 year

We do not use any automated decision-making or profiling. Everything on the site is simple and human-managed.
We do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings. There’s no standard way to handle them, and most websites ignore them.
