Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect only the minimum information needed to run the site and improve it:

• Newsletter email — when you subscribe, we store your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Contact messages — name, email and message when you use our contact form.
• Usage data — anonymous analytics (pages visited, approximate location, device type) used to improve the site.
• Favorites — stored locally in your browser (localStorage). We never see these.

2. Cookies & local storage

We use minimal cookies and browser storage:

• Theme preference — stored in localStorage so your dark/light choice persists.
• Favorites — stored in localStorage on your device.
• Advertising cookies — served by third parties (e.g. Google AdSense) if ads are enabled. These allow personalized ads and are governed by the ad provider's own policies.

3. Advertising

This site may display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.

4. How we use your data

• To send the newsletter you requested.
• To respond to contact messages.
• To understand which content performs best and improve the experience.
• To detect and prevent abuse (spam, bot traffic).

5. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share anonymous aggregate statistics with partners. Newsletter emails are stored in our own database and are not shared with third parties.

6. Data retention

Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept for a maximum of 30 days. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location (e.g. GDPR in Europe), you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Export your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data: HTTPS encryption, CSRF protection on all forms, rate limiting on submission endpoints and input validation.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
