2. Categories of Information We Collect

We deliberately minimize the personal information collected through this platform. The categories of information processed include:

• Direct Contact Data: When you complete our contact or inquiry form, we collect your name, email address, selected technical topic, and the verbatim contents of your message.

This data remains strictly client-side on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Technical & Telemetry Data: Standard server access log files including IP addresses (truncated or hashed for anonymity), browser agent string, operating system, referrer URL, and timestamps.

3. Legal Bases and Purposes for Processing

Under Article 6 of the GDPR, we process personal information under the following legal frameworks:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): When you voluntarily submit an inquiry through our contact form or actively enable optional analytics cookies.
• Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Maintaining server stability, mitigating denial-of-service attempts, troubleshooting technical anomalies, and evaluating high-level readership trends to improve horological monographs.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our platform employs strictly essential cookies to remember your consent status and session tokens.

Full technical specifications and durations are documented in our dedicated Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Data Processors and Hosting

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to commercial brokers or third-party marketing entities.

Any incidental transfers to external service providers adhere strictly to European Commission standard contractual clauses.

7. Data Retention Periods

Inquiry submissions delivered via email or contact forms are retained for a maximum duration of twenty-four (24) months to facilitate ongoing technical correspondence and provenance tracking, after which they are permanently deleted or securely anonymized. Server access log entries are routinely cycled and purged within thirty (30) days.
