Where we send your data
To help keep spam comments on our site down, we use a WordPress plugin called Akismet, which is an automated spam detection service.

On our contacts page, we use a form called WPForms, created by a company of the same name. You can view their policy at https://wpforms.com/privacy-policy/.
