5. Contact forms
Our website uses Contact Form 7, a WordPress plugin, to provide contact forms.
When you submit a form, we process the information you provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number and message, depending on the fields completed.
We use this information to process and respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to continue related business communication.
Providing the information requested in mandatory form fields is necessary for us to respond to your inquiry. If you do not provide this information, we may be unable to process your request.
Contact form submissions are not stored in our WordPress database.

Contact inquiries that do not result in an ongoing business relationship are retained for a maximum of 12 months after the last relevant contact.
After this period, the information is deleted unless continued retention is necessary for a legitimate purpose or required by law.
We do not use information submitted through contact forms for unrelated marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.
6. Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors interact with our website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- Pages visited and interactions with website content.
- Approximate geographic location.
- Device, browser and operating system information.
- Website traffic sources.
- Visit duration and engagement information.
Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses as part of its standard analytics functionality.
We use Complianz to request and manage consent for analytics cookies.
Google Analytics is configured to operate only after visitors have provided consent for statistics.
If you reject optional cookies, Google Analytics tracking is not activated through our consent-controlled implementation.
Analytics data retention
We have configured the following data retention settings in Google Analytics 4:
- Event-level data: 2 months.
- User-level data: 2 months.

These settings limit the retention of user-level and event-level data in Google Analytics. Aggregated information in standard reports may remain available for longer.
Google Signals and the collection of user-provided data for advertising-related measurement are not enabled.
We use Google Analytics for website statistics and improvement purposes, not for Google Ads remarketing.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie preferences available on our website.
