For purposes of the applicable Data Protection Laws, Kirsten Heynisch is the “data controller”. This means that Kirsten Heynisch determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, your Data is processed.

Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until it is no longer required or has no use, as detailed below. Every effort has been made to ensure a safe and secure form to email submission process. I advise users using the contact form at our website at your own risk.
As the party responsible for data processing, I ensure that the processed data
