We collect minimal data to operate the site:

• Server logs: When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. These logs are used solely for security and performance monitoring and are retained for a maximum of 30 days.

4. External services and third-party content

Some images displayed on this site are loaded from external sources, including:
