This information may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, and the answers you provide in our questionnaires. We do not collect payment information directly. Payment is processed by third-party providers subject to their own privacy policies.

Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Active client engagement records are retained for the duration of the engagement and a reasonable period thereafter for business records purposes.

You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at go@rusnikita.com.
