Cookies may be used to:

Third-party websites and services are not controlled by me. I recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies before using them.
9. Social media
I may maintain professional profiles or provide links to social media platforms such as Instagram and LinkedIn.

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, I will rely on an appropriate legal transfer mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses, where required.
The specific providers used by this website should be checked before publication so that any relevant international transfers can be identified accurately.
13. How long we retain your data
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Different retention periods may apply depending on the type of information and the legal obligations applicable to it.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.
