Our hosting provider automatically collects:

This is necessary for security and technical stability.

If you contact us via email, we process your email address and the content of your message to respond.

c) Newsletter (if applicable)

When you subscribe, your email address is stored by our newsletter provider (e.g. Substack, MailerLite). These services operate under their own GDPR-compliant policies.

d) Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools (e.g. Plausible) that work without cookies or personal tracking. If tools requiring consent (e.g. Google Analytics) are used, we process data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, or Spotify process data under their own policies when you interact with our content.
