Privacy Policy
Security of your data
Establishing a relationship of trust is paramount, thus maintaining the security and privacy of your data is important to me. These terms apply to the processing of your data before we enter into an agreement for me to provide services as a contractor to you; the terms of any such agreement may supersede these conditions. I comply with the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) requirements.
With regards to the data covered herein, I act in the capacity of a data controller. I will take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data I collect and process.
Information I collect
This website does not use browser-local storage or cookies of any kind, whether first-party or third-party.
Logs of resources accessed on the website are recorded, with a legitimate interest legal basis, containing:
- retrieval timestamp;
- client IP address;
- protocols' versions;
- browser identification;
- resource path.
Additionally, any information you, your browser, email client or other user-agent application provides when submitting the contact form, sending an email message or making a telephone call is recorded and processed, for which you must give your consent explicitly, thus forming the legal basis of this processing. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are allowed to provide this information to me, including any personally-identifiable information or sensitive personal information.
Purpose of processing
Website access logs are used to enable your visit to the website, for analytical purposes and to prevent abusive behaviour.
The data submitted via the contact form, via email or through a telephone call are used for support purposes:
- to enable me to respond to your enquiries;
- to facilitate the consultation.
Additionally, contact information (name, telephone number, and email address) for you, your company’s or organisation’s employees, agents, or subcontractors that represent a business or organisation (i.e. are not consumers), that you share with me may be used for future business propositions or marketing communication, with the exclusion of non-directed communication – I do not send newsletters.
In particular, I do not use any automated means of decision-making, including profiling, in the processing of personal data.
Sharing
The contact form uses the services of getform.io, which acts as a data processor and processes the data in the EU. By submitting the contact form, you agree to their terms and conditions.
I use the services of the following VPS and server hosting providers, who act as data processors, for the processing and storage of personal data:
- OVH Hosting Limited, registered under number 468585 in Ireland;
- Netcup GmbH, registered under number HRB 705547 in Mannheim, Germany;
- Contabo GmbH, registered under number HRB 180722 in München, Germany.
Otherwise, I would only disclose your personal data to third-parties:
- to the extent required by law;
- in order to exercise or defend our legal rights, including in connection to any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.
Retention
Website access logs are retained for a maximum of 8 (eight) days.
Personal data provided using the contact form, via email, through a telephone call or any other physical or digital means is retained for a maximum of 90 (ninety) days from the last contact between us or the termination of an agreement for the provision of services between us, whichever occurs last, unless a subsequent agreement stipulates otherwise.
Additionally, contact information (name, telephone number, and email address) for you, your company’s or organisation’s employees, agents, or subcontractors that represent a business or organisation (i.e. are not consumers) that I may use for business propositions or directed marketing communication may be retained for up to 3 (three) years after our last interaction.
