02What Information I Collect

I only collect information you choose to provide, which may include:

• Contact details — your name, email address, phone number, company, role, LinkedIn profile, and website.
• Enquiry content — the message, problem description, or answers you submit through the contact or intake forms.
• Technical data — limited information such as IP address and browser type, collected automatically for security and basic analytics.

I do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data or information from anyone under the age of 16.

03How I Use Your Information

Your information is used only for legitimate purposes, including:

• Responding to your enquiry and communicating with you about your request.
• Assessing whether an engagement is a suitable fit.
• Providing the resources, frameworks, or services you request.

I do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.

04Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR, I process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent — when you submit a form and agree to be contacted.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries and operate this website securely.
• Contractual necessity — where processing is required to provide a service you have requested.

05How I Store and Protect Your Data

Your information is stored securely and access is limited to what is necessary to respond to your enquiry. I use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Form submissions may be processed using third-party services such as email delivery, website hosting, and form-processing providers, who act as data processors on my behalf.

I retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law, after which it is securely deleted.

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. I may share it only with trusted service providers who help operate this website and respond to enquiries (for example, email and hosting providers), and only to the extent necessary. These providers are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

07Cookies and Analytics

This website may use essential cookies required for it to function, and optionally analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at [YOUR-EMAIL]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

09International Transfers

Where your data is transferred outside the EU/EEA (for example, to a service provider based elsewhere), I ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or providers certified under recognized frameworks.
