2. Data We Collect
2.1 Data you provide voluntarily. When you use our contact form or request information, we collect: full name, email address, phone number (optional), company name (optional), and the content of your message.
2.2 Agrivoltaic Calculator. The calculator tool processes geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) that you enter manually or share via your device's geolocation. These coordinates are used solely to query climate data from external APIs and generate your calculation report. We do not store these coordinates persistently or link them to your identity.
2.3 Browsing data. When you visit our website, we automatically collect technical data: pseudonymised IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and session duration. This data is collected via web analytics tools.
2.4 Cookies. We use first-party and third-party cookies. Please see our Cookie Policy for full details and to manage your preferences.
