5. How Information is Stored and Shared
My portfolio is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides the online platform that allows me to showcase my work to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases, and the general Wix.com applications on secure servers behind a firewall.

I do not use your information for automated profiling, nor do we sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
 
Data Retention:
Your personal information is retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

• Inquiry Data: Information submitted via our contact form is retained for 24 months following our last interaction. This allows us to maintain continuity in our communications should you reach out again. If no further interaction occurs within this period, your data is securely deleted.

• Scheduling Data: Meeting records stored via Calendly are kept as long as necessary to manage the business relationship or as required by legal record-keeping obligations.

• Server Logs: Basic technical logs (like IP addresses) are automatically deleted by our hosting provider (Wix) in accordance with their standard security cycles.
   

Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.
