This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit our Site or submit information via our forms.

1) What we collect

A) Analytics data (when you browse the Site)

When you visit the Site, we collect limited technical and usage data via analytics, such as: 

• device and browser information
   
• approximate location (e.g., country/city derived from IP)
   
• pages viewed, time on page, referrer, and interaction events
   

Purpose: understand Site performance, fix issues, and improve content.

B) Form submissions (when you contact us or submit corrections/listings)

If you use a form on the Site, we may collect:

• name (if provided)
   
• email address (if provided)
   
• message content and any documents/links you submit
   
• the page/profile you refer to and any metadata needed to process the request
   

Purpose: respond to your request, verify submissions, and update listings.

2) Legal bases (EU/UK)

Depending on your location and the context:

• Analytics: we rely on consent where required (e.g., for non-essential analytics cookies).
   
• Forms and correspondence: we process data as necessary for our legitimate interests (to respond, prevent abuse, maintain accurate listings) and/or consent where you choose to provide information.
   
• Legal obligations: where required (e.g., responding to lawful requests).
   

3) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and (where you consent) for analytics. For details, see our Cookie Policy. 

4) Who we share data with (processors)

We may share personal data with service providers who help us operate the Site (acting as processors), such as:

• Analytics provider: Google Analytics 4
   
• Website hosting/CDN: Via Unicorn
   
• Form handling / email delivery: [FORM TOOL via Unicorn / EMAIL PROVIDER via Hostinger - Titan]
   

We do not sell personal data.

5) International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EU/UK (e.g., in the United States). Where applicable, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) or equivalent lawful mechanisms.

6) Data retention

• Analytics data: retained for [e.g., 14 months / 26 months / your chosen period] depending on analytics settings and legal requirements.
   
• Form submissions: retained for as long as needed to handle the request and maintain records of corrections (typically [e.g., 24 months], unless we need it longer for legal reasons or ongoing disputes).
   

7) Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data (access controls, encryption in transit, least-privilege access). No system is 100% secure.

8) Your rights (EU/UK)

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• access your data
   
• correct inaccurate data
   
• delete your data
   
• restrict or object to processing
