Privacy and data
US privacy requirements vary by state and sector, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

We do not claim certifications we do not hold; see our data security page.
Working and paying
Engagements are scoped in writing. Invoicing currency can be discussed. Contact options that suit a US schedule: email, WhatsApp, and calendar-booked calls.
