What we collect
- Contact form: name, email address, phone number (optional), your message, and whether you asked to receive email updates.
- Mailing list: name and email address of people who explicitly asked for updates, with the date they signed up.
- Technical data: the web server logs IP address, time of access, page viewed and browser type, for security and operation.
Why we use it
- To reply to you and handle your enquiry (product information, purchase and support).
- To send offers and updates by email – only if you explicitly ticked the box. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email or by contacting us.
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse (e.g. spam).

There is no legal obligation to provide any data. Without a name and an email address we cannot reply to your enquiry.
