Third-Party Services

My website includes embedded content from third-party websites, such as Spotify music players, YouTube videos, and social media feeds. These services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Analytics and Marketing

I use analytics services like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with my website. These services collect anonymous data about your visits to improve my website and marketing efforts. I may also use marketing services from platforms like Facebook and Instagram to reach new audiences.

You can opt out of many of these tracking technologies through your browser settings or by using the opt-out mechanisms provided by these services.

Data Storage & Security

I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, I limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.

Data Retention

I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes I collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, I consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which I process your personal data and whether I can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

International Transfers

I may share your personal data within my service providers and partners. This will involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Whenever I transfer your personal data out of the EEA, I ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: I will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or where I use certain service providers, I may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

User Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data I hold about you and to check that I am lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that I hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data I hold about you corrected, though I may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to me.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for me continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask me to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where I may have processed your information unlawfully or where I am required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
• Object to processing of your personal data where I am relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask me to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want me to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where my use of the data is unlawful but you do not want me to erase it; (c) where you need me to hold the data even if I no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to my use of your data but I need to verify whether I have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. I will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where I am relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details provided in the Contact Information section below.

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the supervisory authority for data protection issues in your country.
