1. Information we collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to operate the Website and improve our content. We categorise the information we collect as follows:
1.1 Information you provide directly
When you contact us via email, phone, or any contact form on the Website, you may share your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes:
