## Information We Collect

### Automatically Collected

- Analytics data: Pages visited, content interactions, and general usage patterns. This is collected via Cloudflare Zaraz (a privacy-focused analytics proxy) which anonymises your IP address before it reaches any analytics provider.

- Security data: Cloudflare, our hosting provider, processes IP addresses and request headers for security and performance.

### Information You Provide

- Newsletter subscription: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and (optionally) your name. This is the only personal data we store.
