No external providerHow long is data stored?
I only keep data for as long as necessary:

- Contact data in CRM: For as long as the business relationship exists or until you request deletion, maximum 3 years after last contact.

Is my data shared with anyone?
I use one external service provider to process data, solely for the purposes described above:
Brevo (email forwarding and CRM) is a European provider based in France and processes data exclusively on EU servers. No data is shared with advertisers, social networks, or any other third parties.
Your rights
You have the right to know what data I hold about you at any time and you can request:
- Access — what is stored?
- Rectification — something is incorrect?
- Erasure — have your data deleted
- Restriction — pause processing temporarily
- Object — stop your data from being processed

Just send me a message at: contact@melevo.eu
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch data protection authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), which is the supervisory authority for this website: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens
How secure is my data?
I take technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS) and the use of European providers. No system is 100% secure, but I do everything in my power to keep your data safe.
Changes to this policy
If anything changes — new tools, new legal requirements — I'll update this policy. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
