Analytics

The Site may use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand traffic. Google may process data according to its own policies. You can learn more at Google Privacy Policy.

Advertising

The Site may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Advertising partners may collect or receive information such as cookie identifiers, approximate location, browser and device type, and pages viewed. This can include personalized ads when consent is granted, or non-personalized ads when it is not.

You can learn how Google uses data from partner sites in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices.

Data sharing

I do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed by providers that help run the Site (for example hosting, email delivery, analytics, and advertising partners such as Google).

Data retention

Contact messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request and related professional follow-up. Analytics records follow the retention settings of those tools.
