4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer need your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

6. Analytics Tracking & Your Consent (CIPA / CCPA)

We are committed to full compliance with the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Under these laws, we require your affirmative opt-in consent before any tracking technologies are activated.

What we track (with consent only)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) solely to understand how visitors interact with this site. No advertising networks or third-party data brokers are involved. When you consent, GA4 may collect:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General session data (entry/exit pages, session duration)
• Device and browser information (type, OS, screen resolution)
• Approximate geographic location (country/city, derived from IP — IP is not stored)
• Referral source (how you arrived at the site)

Why we collect it

Analytics data is used exclusively to improve the site — understanding which content is most useful, identifying technical issues, and measuring overall site performance. We do not use this data for advertising targeting or sell it to any third party.

How consent works

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. All GA4 tracking signals default to denied on page load. No cookies are set and no data is sent to Google until you explicitly click Accept on the cookie banner. If you click Decline, no tracking occurs for your session or any future visit — your choice is saved in your browser.

How to opt out or change your preference

• On this site: Manage Cookie Preferences at any time to review or change your consent.
• Google's opt-out tool: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to block GA across all sites.
• Browser-level: Use your browser's privacy settings or a content blocker to prevent tracking scripts from loading.

Your CCPA rights regarding analytics data

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of sale. We do not sell any personal information. To exercise your rights, email sergio@sergioavedian.com.

• Access: Request access to your personal information.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information.
• Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
