Contact us
When you reach out via email or our contact form, we’ll securely store the information you provide (such as your name and email address) to respond to your inquiry. Your data will never be shared without your explicit consent.
Website hosting & technical infrastructure
Our website is powered by Framer. When you visit, certain technical details—such as your IP address, browser type, and access time—are automatically processed to ensure the site functions properly. Framer serves as our data processor under Article 28 of the GDPR, and we’ve established a formal agreement to govern this processing.
Web analytics
We use Framer Analytics to gather anonymized data about how our website is used—such as page views and time spent on each page. No personal information is collected, and no cookies are set. This data is processed based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, helping us improve the site’s technical performance and content quality.
Embedded content
All embedded videos are hosted locally on our website. We do not use platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, or other third-party providers—ensuring that no cookies or tracking data are shared externally.
External links
Our website includes links to external platforms such as Gumroad and Cal. By clicking these links, you’ll be redirected away from our site. The content and data protection practices of those platforms are managed independently, so we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Cookies
We use only essential cookies to support core website functionality. No third-party tracking is involved, which means a cookie banner isn’t required.
Your rights
You have full rights over your personal data. This includes the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing, transfer your data, and object to how it’s used. If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you may file a complaint with the US Data Protection Authority.
