I do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties without your consent, except as described below and in compliance with GDPR:

• Service providers: I may engage third-party service providers to perform specific tasks on my behalf (for example, website hosting, payment processing for artworks, website analytics, email newsletter services). These providers have access to personal data only as needed to perform their duties and are required to keep it confidential and comply with data protection standards.

My website uses “cookies” (small text files stored on your device) and similar technologies to collect information. Cookies help me improve your experience, analyze website traffic, and provide, for example, personalized content about my art.
I strive to inform you about the use of cookies and obtain your consent (when required, such as for users from the EU) before using them. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is sent. However, if you disable cookies, some features of my website may not function properly.

I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
