Privacy Policy

1. Data We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or leave a comment.

We also automatically collect usage data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site via analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to operate and improve engin-ariy, send newsletters you've opted into, and respond to your inquiries.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep the site functioning and analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some site features may not function correctly without them.

See our Cookie Policy for full details: Cookie Policy.

4. Third Parties

We use trusted third-party services including Google Analytics (analytics), Mailchimp (email newsletters), and Disqus (comments). Each is governed by its own privacy policy.

We may embed content from YouTube or Instagram; those platforms may set their own cookies when you interact with embedded media.

6. Data Retention

Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Comment data is retained as long as the comment is published.

Analytics data is retained for 26 months in aggregated, anonymised form.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures — including HTTPS encryption and access controls — to protect your data.

No method of internet transmission is 100{83ae693e96ebde7c996fc66fad72046a12af3bce236297b2d29b05bdd0a40e07} secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but will notify affected users promptly in the event of a breach.

8. Children's Privacy

If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
