4. Legal Basis for Processing Under GDPR

If your personal data is protected by the GDPR, I process it only when I have a valid legal basis. Depending on the situation, that basis may include:

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

My website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Help the site function properly
• Remember preferences
• Measure traffic and performance
• Improve user experience
• Support analytics or marketing, if enabled

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. Others, such as analytics or marketing cookies, will only be used where required consent has been given.

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through the cookie banner or consent tools shown on the website.

These providers may process limited personal data on my behalf or as independent controllers under their own privacy policies.

I do not sell your personal information.

I may share data only when necessary:

• With service providers who help me run my website or business
• To complete a service you requested
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect my rights, property, or website security
• With your consent

8. International Data Transfers

Some third-party tools or service providers may store, the European Economic Area, or your country of residence. Where required, I take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for those transfers.

9. Data Retention

I keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, including:

11. Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
