This website collects personal data only when you voluntarily provide it, specifically:
Contact form — when you use the "Get in Touch" form, the following is collected: your name, your email address, and the message you write.
Newsletter subscription — when you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is collected and processed directly by Beehiiv, the third-party newsletter platform used for this purpose (see Section 5).
No other personal data is collected through this website. Aggregated website analytics are collected using Simple Analytics without tracking personal identifiers or using cookies (see Section 6).
The data submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your inquiry and to stay in touch with you regarding a possible or ongoing working relationship.
The legal basis for processing this data is your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) and, where health- or well-being-related details are voluntarily shared, Article 9(2)(a) GDPR), provided when ticking the consent checkbox and submitting the form.
This data is not used for any other purpose, including marketing, profiling, or automated decision-making.
Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
To technically deliver your message, the contact form uses Netlify Forms, a feature of Netlify, Inc. — the company that hosts this website. Netlify receives your submission, stores it within the site's Netlify dashboard, and forwards it as an email notification to Erika Albert's inbox. Netlify acts as a data processor and does not use your data for any purpose of its own.
Netlify, Inc. (512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) acts as a data processor hosting this website and routing form notifications.
Netlify's privacy policy: netlify.com/privacy
No one else has access to the data you submit through the contact form.
Newsletter subscriptions are handled entirely through Beehiiv, an independent third-party email platform. When you subscribe, your email address is stored and managed directly by Beehiiv, under Beehiiv's own privacy policy and terms.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email, or by managing your subscription directly through Beehiiv.

Contact form submissions are kept only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain the relevant conversation or working relationship, after which they are deleted from both Erika Albert's inbox and the Netlify Forms dashboard.
You may request earlier deletion of your data at any time (see Section 8).

— Access the personal data held about you
— Correct inaccurate or incomplete data

— Restrict or object to the processing of your data
