What Personal Data I Collect and Why

When you request an audit or contact me, I collect:

  • Name and email address - to communicate with you about your audit
  • Website URL - to perform the audit you've requested
  • Payment information - bank account details for payment processing

I do not:

  • Secure SSL encryption for all data transmission
  • Secure payment processing through trusted payment providers
  • Regular security updates to my systems
  • Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

Important: However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
