We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where feasible.
When we update this policy, we will post the revised version on the site and adjust the effective date where appropriate. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice through the site or another suitable channel.
We use personal data to operate and maintain the site, respond to messages, manage comments or subscriptions, improve content and functionality, monitor security, prevent misuse, comply with legal obligations, and keep basic records related to site administration.
We may share personal data with service providers that help operate the site, such as hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, or technical support providers. These parties may process data on our instructions and are expected to use it only for the services they provide to us.
We may disclose personal data to public authorities, courts, or other parties when we believe disclosure is required by law, necessary to protect legal rights, or needed to respond to lawful requests. We may also share information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We may process identifiers and contact details, such as a name or email address if provided, as well as message content, comment content, subscription details, and technical data such as IP address, device information, browser type, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from technical signals.

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on a lawful basis such as consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests, depending on the activity involved. We limit processing to what is necessary for the stated purpose.
Because the site is available to users in the EEA, GDPR applies to personal data processed in that context where the regulation is relevant.
