2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when contacting us through the website’s contact form or by email. This may include your name, email address, the subject and content of your enquiry, and any additional information you choose to provide. We may also process technical information necessary for the operation and security of the website, such as IP addresses, browser information and device data. Where website analytics or third-party services are enabled, additional information about website usage may be collected, subject to applicable data protection and cookie requirements. The contact form requires certain information, including a valid email address, to enable us to respond to your enquiry.
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Personal information is processed for the following purposes:
Responding to enquiries and professional correspondence.
Managing requests concerning conducting engagements, artistic collaborations, masterclasses and individual coaching.
Communicating with individuals and organisations regarding potential professional activities.
Maintaining the security and proper functioning of the website.
Complying with applicable legal obligations.
The legal basis for processing depends on its purpose and circumstances. Professional correspondence is generally processed on the basis of legitimate interests in managing enquiries and professional communications (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where an enquiry concerns a potential contractual relationship, processing may be necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Processing required by applicable law is based on compliance with legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR). Where consent is legally required, including for certain cookies and similar technologies, it will be requested separately (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where applicable). Information submitted through the contact form will not be used to subscribe you automatically to marketing communications.
4. DATA RETENTION
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Correspondence relating to general enquiries is retained for the period necessary to respond and manage any reasonable follow-up. Where correspondence leads to a professional or contractual relationship, relevant information may be retained for the duration of that relationship and for any additional period required by applicable law or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Information that is no longer required will be deleted or securely disposed of, unless continued retention is legally justified.
5. DATA SHARING AND SECURITY
Personal information is not sold to third parties. Information may be processed by service providers supporting the operation of this website, including website hosting, contact form functionality, email communications and, where enabled, website analytics.

Service providers may process personal information in countries outside the European Economic Area. Where such transfers take place, they must comply with applicable data protection requirements, including the use of an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable. Further information about relevant transfers and safeguards may be requested using the contact details provided in this policy. Appropriate technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. Nevertheless, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
