We will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, except where required or authorized by law, or to trusted service providers (such as secure IT infrastructure providers) who are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
5. Security and Bot Protection
To protect our website and contact forms from malicious activity and spam, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. This security service may analyze technical signals from your browser (such as IP address and user-agent) strictly for security verification purposes.
