I do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website.

  • Respond to inquiries and requests
  • Assess whether my services may be relevant to your needs
  • Communicate with prospective or existing clients

  • Maintain business and professional records
  • Improve the website and understand its use

I do not use information submitted through a professional inquiry to make automated decisions about you.

Confidential business information

If you voluntarily provide business documents, strategies, presentations, AI outputs, agency recommendations, or other confidential materials for the purpose of discussing a potential engagement, I will treat such information as confidential and use it only for the purposes for which it was provided, subject to any separate confidentiality agreement or professional services agreement that may apply.

Please do not send highly sensitive information through the website contact form unless specifically requested and an appropriate secure method of transfer has been agreed.

5

Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for its operation and, where applicable, analytics tools to understand website traffic and improve the user experience.

The specific cookies and third-party services used may change as the website evolves.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies or similar technologies will only be used with the appropriate consent.

6

Third-party services

I may use third-party service providers to operate the website, communicate with prospective clients, host content, analyse website traffic, or securely store information.

Depending on the tools used on the website, these providers may process personal information on my behalf.

I do not sell your personal information.

I do not provide personal information submitted through this website to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

7

Data retention

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, providing services, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

8

Data security

I take reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to you, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information I hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Request information about how your personal information is collected, used, or disclosed

California residents and residents of certain other U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

For example, where applicable, California residents may have rights to know, correct, delete, and opt out of certain forms of sale or sharing of personal information. California law also requires covered businesses to provide appropriate mechanisms for exercising applicable rights.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, please contact me using the information below. I may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

California and other U.S. state privacy laws

This website is operated from France and is primarily intended to provide professional information and services to businesses and executives.

Certain U.S. state privacy laws apply only to businesses meeting specific jurisdictional and threshold requirements. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to qualifying for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet specified thresholds.

If a particular U.S. state privacy law applies to my processing of your personal information, I will provide the rights and disclosures required by that law.

I do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

11

Children's privacy

This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

12

International data transfers

Because I am based in France and may use service providers located in other countries, personal information may be processed or transferred internationally.

Where applicable, I use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information as required by applicable data protection law.

For transfers of personal data subject to EU data protection law to countries outside the European Economic Area, appropriate mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses may be used where required.

13

Changes to this Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my website, services, technology, or applicable legal requirements.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
