Legal bases (GDPR/UK GDPR)
If you’re in the EEA or UK, our processing relies on these bases:
- Legitimate interests: Running a secure, reliable website; preventing abuse; answering emails people send us.
- Consent: If we ever use non-essential cookies or analytics that require consent, we’ll ask for it first.
- Legal obligation: Complying with law or lawful requests.
How long we keep data
- Emails: Kept as long as needed to respond and for limited record-keeping, unless you ask us to delete non-essential content.
- Server/CDN logs: Typically retained for a short period (often up to ~90 days) for security and troubleshooting, unless a longer period is needed to investigate specific issues.
How we protect data
- Transport security: We serve the site over HTTPS.
- Access controls: Limited access to support mailboxes and site admin.
- Least-data approach: We avoid collecting data we don’t need.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We work to protect your information and ask you to avoid sending sensitive data by email.
International transfers
Depending on your location and our service providers, your information may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your information.
