Privacy Policy

Hey there! I know privacy policies can be a bit overwhelming and often feel like a wall of copy-pasted text that no one really reads. What matters to me, though, is transparency and trust. In short, I only use the personal data you provide to respond to your enquiries and communicate with you effectively. I also use it for invoicing and accounting purposes, and that’s it. Your data is never shared with anyone else, unless you specifically give me permission for networking purposes. Simple as that! But if you want to read more, please find more info on our privacy proceddures below.
