GDPR Compliance (EU Visitors)

Important: This is a static website with NO user accounts or logins. We do NOT collect or store personal information like names, emails, or addresses. The only data collected is anonymous analytics through Google Analytics 4.

What Data We Actually Collect

Under GDPR, the following anonymous data is collected via Google Analytics 4:

• IP Address: Anonymized automatically for EU visitors
• Browser & Device Info: Browser type, operating system (no device ID)
• Page Views: Which pages you visit and time spent
• Approximate Location: City/region level only (based on anonymized IP)

Your GDPR Rights (Simplified)

Since we don't store personal data beyond anonymous analytics:

• Right to Object: Open Cookie settings (also linked at the bottom of every page) and choose Essential Only to stop analytics collection
• Right to Restriction: Use browser "Do Not Track" or disable cookies
• Right to Erasure: Choosing Essential Only in Cookie settings deletes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser - we don't store anything else
• Right to Access: We don't have identifiable data about individual visitors

Legal Basis for Processing: Your consent. Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. Without consent, Google Analytics is not loaded at all: no analytics cookies are stored and nothing is sent to Google. All data is anonymised.

Google Analytics 4 & GDPR

• IP anonymization is enabled for EU visitors
• No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
• Data is retained for 14 months, then automatically deleted
• You can change or withdraw your consent at any time in Cookie settings
• You can opt-out: Google Analytics Opt-Out

• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do NOT sell any data. Period.
