We only process data strictly necessary to deliver static educational content over secure HTTPS networks:

3. Legal Bases for Processing (UK GDPR / EU GDPR)

We process technical telemetry under our Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)) to maintain site security, prevent abuse, and optimize server response times. Direct inquiries are processed under consent (Article 6(1)(a)) for curatorial replies.
