Scope of This Notice
This privacy notice applies to all visitors to the website who access content about professional development communication topics. It covers data processing activities that occur when you browse pages, submit the contact form, or interact with the enabled blog section. The notice does not cover external sites linked from our blog posts.
Categories of Personal Data and Their Sources
We collect identification data such as name and email address only when you voluntarily submit the contact form. Usage data including IP address, browser type, and pages visited are obtained automatically through server logs. No data is collected from third-party sources or public registers.
Purpose-by-Purpose Explanation of Processing and Legal Basis
We process contact form data to respond to enquiries on the basis of legitimate interest in maintaining communication with visitors. Blog comment data, if any, is processed to facilitate discussion under the same legitimate interest. Server log data is processed to ensure website security and functionality on the basis of legitimate interest. No processing occurs for marketing purposes.
Whether Providing Data Is Required
Providing personal data through the contact form is entirely optional. If you choose not to supply contact details we will be unable to respond to your message. Browsing the site without submitting forms does not require any personal data input.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site uses only essential cookies necessary for basic functionality. A site-wide cookie banner informs visitors about these technologies. For full details please refer to the separate Cookie Policy available on this website.
Processors, Recipients and Disclosures Required by Law
Hosting providers and email service operators act as processors to deliver the site and handle contact form submissions. We may disclose data if required by Slovenian or EU law enforcement authorities following a valid legal request.
International Transfers and Safeguards
Any processors located outside the European Economic Area are bound by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Retention Periods
Contact form data is retained for twelve months after the last correspondence. Server logs are kept for a maximum of ninety days unless extended retention is necessary for security investigations. Blog-related data is retained as long as the relevant post remains published.
Security and Data-Minimisation Practices
We apply technical measures such as encryption in transit and access controls to protect data. Only the minimum data necessary for each purpose is collected and processed.
Data Subject Rights and How to Exercise Them
You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection to processing by writing to [email protected]. We will respond within one month in accordance with GDPR timelines.
