They process data on our behalf: Vercel (website hosting), Resend (sending contact form emails), Upstash (storing contact form submissions), Cloudflare (spam protection on the contact form) and Plausible (anonymous analytics, only if you accept). [OWNER REVIEW: confirm this list matches the services in use and where each one stores data.]
