Erika Kosina Consulting (“I,” “me,” or “my”) operates the website erikakosina.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect through the Site, how I use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information I Collect
Information You Provide
When you fill out a contact or inquiry form on the Site, I collect the information you submit, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and message content.
Newsletter Sign-Up
If you subscribe to my email newsletter, your name and email address are collected and stored through Mailchimp, my email marketing platform. Mailchimp processes this data on my behalf under its own privacy policy, available at mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
Automatically Collected Information (Analytics)
The Site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on the Site. This information is aggregated and used to improve the Site’s content and performance. You can learn more about how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Cookies
The Site itself does not set marketing or advertising cookies. However, Google Analytics places a small number of cookies in your browser to distinguish visitors and sessions, as described above. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain Site functionality.

- Respond to inquiries submitted through contact forms
- Send newsletter content to subscribers who have opted in

- My website host and WordPress, which power the Site’s infrastructure
I may also disclose information if required to do so by law.
6. Data Retention
I retain contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber data for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain our business relationship, or as otherwise required by law. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 8).

- Know what personal information I have collected about you

9. Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
