Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our website.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who assist us in operating our website
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests
• To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
• In connection with a business transfer or merger

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy rights

We aim to honour rights commonly recognised under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and similar laws, where they apply to our processing. Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are in Japan, the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) may provide additional expectations for cross-border transfers; we minimise personal data collection and rely on aggregated analytics where possible.

Typical rights you may exercise (subject to law and verification) include:

• The right to access your personal information
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your information
• The right to object to processing of your information
• The right to data portability
• The right to withdraw consent for optional cookies (see our on-site banner and Cookie Policy)

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We may need to verify your request before acting.

Third-party services and data recipients

Depending on features you use, data may be processed by vendors including:

• Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics — site measurement and diagnostics (you can decline non-essential cookies via our banner).
• Google AdSense — advertising when enabled in production builds.
• OpenStreetMap & CartoDB — interactive maps use Leaflet with map tiles served by OpenStreetMap and CartoDB. Loading map tiles sends your IP address and request metadata to those tile providers according to their policies.
• Vercel — hosting and edge delivery (IP address, request metadata).

Each provider processes data under its own terms. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
