4. GDPR Right to Erasure

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data under Article 17 of the GDPR ("right to be forgotten"). This includes:

• Comments you have posted
• Contact form submissions
• Any other personal data we may hold

To exercise this right, please email [email protected] with the subject line "GDPR Erasure Request." We will process your request within 30 days.
