Information We Do Not Collect Directly
We want to assure you that we do not directly collect any personally identifiable information from you when you visit our website. This includes your name, address, email address, phone number, or any other information that could directly identify you.
1. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information (such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers) from visitors to this website.

We do not use this information to identify, track, or target individuals.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal basis for collecting and processing analytics data is legitimate interest—specifically, our interest in improving our website for user experience and performance.
We ensure that:
