This data is collected through contact forms, typeforms, and analytics tools integrated into the website. Additionally, if we are working on a project, you may voluntarily provide other details such as a phone number or project-specific documents.
I do not actively collect sensitive personal data such as payment details unless it is provided voluntarily for specific purposes (e.g., invoices or tax forms).

• To communicate with you regarding inquiries, updates, or project progress.

• To provide the services you request.

• To analyze website performance and improve user experience.

I do not use your data for marketing purposes, such as newsletters or promotional emails.

I do not share your personal data with third parties. However, this website is hosted on Wix, which may process certain data independently. I am not responsible for Wix’s data handling practices. For further information, please refer to Wix’s Privacy Policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy.
While I take steps to ensure your data is secure, I am not liable for any data breaches, unauthorized access, or misuse of your data caused by third-party services or external factors beyond my control.
