To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Consent: When you voluntarily submit information through our contact form, you consent to our processing of that data for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.
Legitimate interests: We may process certain data (such as analytics information) to improve our Site and services, provided this does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Legal obligation: We may process data when required to comply with applicable laws or regulations.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with the following categories of third parties, solely to the extent necessary to operate the Site and provide our services:

Wix.com: Our website hosting provider, which processes data on our behalf to deliver site functionality, analytics, and security features.
Service providers: Any additional tools or platforms integrated with the Site for the purpose of communication or analytics.
Legal authorities: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.

6. International Data Transfers

Because our operations span both the United States and the Netherlands, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence. Where personal data is transferred from the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards as required by the GDPR, including standard contractual clauses and the data processing agreements provided by our service providers (such as Wix).

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information collected through the contact form only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. Analytics data collected by Wix is retained in accordance with Wix's own data retention policies.

You have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
Erase your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
Restrict the processing of your data

Object to processing based on legitimate interests
Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands or your local data protection authority)

For U.S. Residents
