Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026  ·  alinadima.me

This Privacy Policy explains how Alina Dima ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and protects personal information gathered through this website, alinadima.me. I am committed to handling your information with discretion, transparency, and respect — values that are fundamental to the way I work.

This page is informational in nature and does not substitute specialised legal advice. For full compliance, I recommend a final review by a legal professional familiar with applicable legislation.

1. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to all visitors to alinadima.me, including those who submit enquiries through the contact form, book a session via Calendly, or access the site without interacting with it directly.

2. What Information I Collect

I collect only the information necessary to respond to your enquiry or to facilitate a booking:

• Contact form: the name, email address, and message you choose to submit.
• Calendly bookings: your name, email address, and any information provided when booking a session. Calendly operates under its own privacy policy, available at calendly.com/privacy.
• Website analytics: basic, aggregated or anonymised data about how visitors use the site — such as pages visited or time spent — without directly identifying individuals.

3. How I Use Your Information

• To respond to your enquiry.
• To confirm and manage scheduled sessions.
• To improve the content and experience of this site.
• To comply with applicable legal or administrative requirements.

I do not use your information for unsolicited marketing communications. I will not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable — including in relation to data protection legislation in the United Arab Emirates and the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — the processing of your personal data may be carried out on the basis of:

• Consent — when you voluntarily submit a contact form or book a session.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to professional enquiries and manage relationships with prospective or existing clients.
• Legal obligations — where retaining certain information is necessary for administrative, fiscal, or contractual records.

5. Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was provided, or as required by applicable law. Enquiries that do not result in an engagement may be deleted within 12 months. Client-related correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period for professional, administrative, fiscal, or legal purposes.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable legislation, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information I hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your data, where permitted by law.
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at alina@alinadima.me. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe and, where applicable, within the period required by law.

7. Third-Party Services

This site may use the following third-party services, each operating under its own privacy policy:

• Calendly — for session bookings. See calendly.com/privacy.
• Google Fonts — for typography. Fonts may be loaded from Google's servers.
• Netlify — for website hosting. See netlify.com/privacy.

8. Cookies

This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Basic technical data may be processed by the hosting provider solely for security, operational, and performance purposes.

9. Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse. Enquiries submitted through the site and session content are treated with confidentiality.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy periodically. Any significant changes will be reflected in a revised date at the top of this page. Continued use of this site following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
