What is collected

• If you use the contact form: your name, email address, the subject and your message.
• When you visit: the company that hosts the site keeps technical records of each request, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These are needed to deliver the site and keep it secure.

The site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking tools. Its fonts are served from the site itself, so no third party learns of your visit through them.

How it is used

Your contact details and message are used only to read and reply to your enquiry and to keep a record of the correspondence. They are never sold, shared for marketing or added to a mailing list.

• Google provides the email inbox where enquiries arrive.
• Vercel hosts the site and keeps the technical records described above.

These providers may process data in the United States, India and other countries outside the UK, the EU and the UAE.
