- Identity & Contact Data: Your name, email address, phone number, and any project notes you submit voluntarily via our contact form or newsletter modules.
- Communication Channels: Phone numbers and profile identifiers used when you engage directly with our built-in WhatsApp chat widget.
- Device & Telemetry Data: Automatically logged IP addresses, browser specifications, operating system details, and general website page usage statistics collected securely via Vercel Speed Insights and Analytics.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes outlined in this policy (e.g., maintaining active newsletter sync states or executing project agreements).
We apply advanced technical and organizational measures (including HTTPS encryption, strong access restrictions on cloud accounts, and secure serverless architectures) to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, manipulation, or breach.
