2. Categories of Information We Collect

We restrict data collection to what is necessary to maintain the integrity of our editorial publications and respond to reader communications:

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Applicable where you voluntarily consent to optional cookies or directly request specific correspondence from our editorial team.
