Depending on the case, I process your data based on:

• Your consent, when you send a contact form, email or WhatsApp message and accept this Privacy Policy.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me; this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal.

In general, I do not sell, rent or trade your personal data.

Your data may be shared only with:

• Service providers that help me operate the website, send communications or provide my services (for example, hosting providers, email providers, communication tools), always under data protection agreements.

• Public authorities or courts, when I am legally obliged to do so.

If service providers are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), I will take appropriate measures to protect your data, in accordance with GDPR (for example, using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission).

9. Security of your data

I adopt reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage system is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
