We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer because the law does not require us to. You can contact us directly with any questions.
2. What data we process and why
2.1 Contact form
When you send us a message through the contact form, we process:
- your first and last name,
- your email address,
- your company name,
- your phone number (if provided),
- the content of your message.
Purpose: to respond to your enquiry, arrange a free introductory call and, if relevant, prepare a proposal.
Legal basis:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – steps taken at your request before entering into a contract,
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in answering general questions unrelated to a future contract.
Providing your data is voluntary, but we cannot reply without your name and email address.
Retention: [DOPLNIŤ: e.g. 12 months] after our last communication. If we enter into a contract, we keep the data for its duration and then for the period required by law (e.g. accounting and tax rules).
2.2 Spam protection
The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile. To verify that the form is not being submitted by a bot, it processes technical data about your browser and device, including your IP address. Turnstile does not use cookies for tracking or advertising.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in protecting the website from abuse.
2.3 Website operation and security
When you visit the website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) technically processes your IP address, browser type and the time of the request. This data is needed to deliver the page and protect it from attacks.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in running the website securely and reliably.
2.4 Visitor statistics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure visits. It does not use cookies, does not store anything on your device, does not use fingerprinting and does not track you across websites. We only receive aggregated statistics: number of visits, pages viewed, where visitors came from (e.g. a search engine), device and browser type, and country. We cannot identify you from these statistics. To produce them, Cloudflare briefly processes your IP address but does not store it.
Purpose: to understand which information on the website is useful and to improve its content.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in improving the website. You may object to this processing (see section 6). You can also block it in your browser, e.g. with a tracker-blocking extension.
We do not use advertising or marketing tools.
3. Cookies
The website uses only two functional cookies. They are stored only when you change the theme or language yourself:
| Name | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
theme |
remembers your chosen colour theme (light/dark) | 12 months |
lang |
remembers your chosen language (Slovak/English) | 12 months |
These cookies contain no personal data and do not track you. They only provide a feature you asked for. Under Section 109(8) of Slovak Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications, they do not require your consent.
We do not use analytics, marketing or advertising cookies. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.
4. Recipients and processors
We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for marketing. The following processors, with whom we have data processing terms in place, may process it:
| Processor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | website hosting, spam protection (Turnstile), visitor statistics (Web Analytics), delivering contact form messages by email, security | USA |
| WebSupport s.r.o. | receiving email for the blazekconsulting.sk domain and forwarding it to our mailbox | Slovakia |
| Google Ireland Limited (Gmail) | receiving and storing email communication | Ireland |
Public authorities may also receive data where the law requires it.
5. Transfers outside the EU
Some processors are based in the USA. Transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (EU–US Data Privacy Framework) where the processor is certified, or on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. [DOPLNIŤ: verify the current certification status of Cloudflare at dataprivacyframework.gov]
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- access your personal data,
- rectify inaccurate data,
- have your data erased,
- restrict processing,
- data portability,
- object to processing based on legitimate interest,
- lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
You can exercise your rights by emailing [DOPLNIŤ: email]. We will reply without undue delay and within one month at the latest.
