4. Service Providers and Third Parties
I share personal information only with service providers who help me operate the Website, and only as needed for those services:

Google LLC provides Google Analytics, which helps me understand Website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information such as your browser and device type, pages visited, referring website, and approximate location.

7. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
You may contact me at hello@milavovk.com to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted through the Website.
California residents. California law may give you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request deletion or correction, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. I do not sell personal information.

8. Security
I use reasonable administrative and technical measures, and rely on the security features of my service providers, to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
