Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, I process your personal data based on:
• Consent: when you submit the contact form, send me an email, or accept non-essential cookies such as analytics cookies.

Data sharing
I may share data with:

These providers only have access to the data they need to perform their services and are required to protect it. Google Analytics processes data in accordance with Google’s own privacy practices.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyse how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited, how long they are viewed, and from which locations visitors come).
Information generated by these cookies about your use of the website may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in various locations. IP anonymization can be enabled so that your IP address is shortened within the EU/EEA where possible.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by:
• Refusing analytics cookies through the cookie banner (where available).
• Installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Data retention
I keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. For example:
• Contact form submissions and emails may be kept for follow-up and record-keeping.
• Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured in Google Analytics.
Your rights (GDPR)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
• Access the personal data I hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (for example, analytics cookies).
To exercise these rights, contact me at: [email protected]
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Security
I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
