4. Contact Requests

If you contact me by email or through the contact form on this website, the information you provide, including your name, email address and message, will be used to process your enquiry and communicate with you.

This website includes videos embedded from YouTube, a service operated by Google.

When you access or play embedded videos, technical information, including your IP address and browser details, may be transmitted to Google. This may involve the processing of personal data outside Switzerland, particularly in the United States.

Where YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode is used, videos are embedded through the youtube-nocookie.com domain. However, this does not completely prevent data from being transmitted to Google.
