1. Information We Collect
We Do NOT Collect Personal Data Directly
Our website does not have contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, user accounts, or any interactive features that collect your personal information. We do not store names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information.

Website Improvement Only

What We Do NOT Do: We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties. We do not send emails, newsletters, or promotional materials because we do not collect email addresses.
