When you inquire about consulting services, I collect your name, email address, company name, phone number, and details about your inquiry.
You are not required to provide this information, but without it, I may not be able to respond to your requests or provide certain services.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, certain information is automatically collected through standard web technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages you visit, time and date of your visit, referring website, and general location information derived from your IP address.
I collect this information through server logs, cookies, and analytics tools like WordPress Stats and potentially Google Analytics. This helps me understand how people use the Website and how I can improve it.

I use your information for the following purposes:
To provide Website services: I use your information to deliver the content and features you request, respond to your inquiries and comments, send newsletters to subscribers, and maintain the Website’s functionality.
To improve the Website: I analyze usage patterns to understand what content is most valuable, improve user experience, and develop new features and content.
To communicate with you: I may send you administrative updates about the Website, respond to your questions, and provide customer support.
To protect the Website: I use information to prevent spam and abuse, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/UK Users)
If you are in the European Union or United Kingdom, I process your personal information based on:
Consent for newsletter subscriptions and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing or adjusting your cookie settings.
Legitimate interests for analytics, improving the Website, preventing fraud, and operating my business, provided these interests don’t override your rights.
Contractual necessity when I need to process your information to provide services you’ve requested.
Legal obligations when I’m required by law to process your information.

Analytics cookies help me understand how visitors use the Website through services like WordPress Stats or Google Analytics. These cookies collect anonymized usage data.
Functional cookies remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience.

5. How I Share Your Information
I Don’t Sell Your Information
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. Your information is not a commodity.
Service Providers
I share information with trusted service providers who help me operate the Website:
WordPress.com (or my hosting provider) stores Website data and content. Email service providers (such as Mailchimp or similar) manage newsletter distribution. Google Analytics (if used) analyzes Website traffic anonymously. These providers are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the specific services they provide to me.
Legal Requirements
I may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request, or if necessary to protect my rights, prevent fraud, or ensure safety.

6. Data Security
I implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including:
Secure (HTTPS) connections for data transmission, secure hosting infrastructure, access controls limiting who can access your information, regular backups, and security updates.
However, no internet transmission is completely secure. While I take reasonable steps to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Website at your own risk.

I retain your information for as long as necessary:
Contact form submissions are kept for 2 years, then deleted. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Blog comments are kept indefinitely unless you request deletion. Analytics data is typically kept for 26 months. Server logs are kept for 90 days.
