Information we collect

How information is used
Contact information is used to answer questions, review corrections, respond to enquiries, and protect the site from abuse. Analytics information is used to maintain and improve the website. We do not sell personal information.
Service providers
The contact form is routed through FormSubmit, a third-party form-processing service, to deliver your message to the site operator's email account. Their systems and the receiving email provider may process the information you submit. Matomo analytics is hosted on CatAbroad.com's server.
Legal basis and retention
Information is processed where necessary to respond to your request and for the legitimate interests of operating, securing, and improving the site. Messages are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for those purposes, legal obligations, or dispute resolution.
