2. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data
When you visit our site or use features such as contact forms, registration, or surveys, we may ask you to provide personal information such as your name, email address, contact details, or service usage time. This data is used only for the purposes specified at the time of collection and will not be used for other purposes without your written consent.

Survey responses may be analyzed statistically, and results may be published in aggregate form without identifying any specific individual.
