### What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We primarily collect personal data when you submit a “Request Consultation” or “Free Consultation” form (full name, email address, phone number, project address, and details of the requested service). The purpose is to respond to your inquiry, send you a quote, coordinate a technical visit, and provide the service. The legal basis is **your consent** when submitting the form and our **legitimate interest** in responding to business inquiries.

By default, WordPress does not collect personal data from visitors. It only collects data from the registered user profile (if applicable). However, our site uses the **LiteSpeed Cache** plugin (see the specific section below).

**Comments**
Although our site does not currently have an active blog section with comments, if a visitor leaves a comment in any future section, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

**Media** If you upload images to the website (for example, for a project), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

**Contact Forms** When you submit a “Request Consultation” form or any contact form, we collect: full name, email address, phone number, project address, and message/description of the service. This data is retained solely to respond to your inquiry, prepare proposals, and follow up on customer service. We do not use it for marketing without your additional explicit consent. Submissions are kept for the time necessary to provide the service (usually up to 24-36 months or until you request their deletion).

**Embedded content from other websites**
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
