This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit iglika.co, contact me, or use services made available through this website.

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:

Iglika Mateeva-Drincheva
13355 Berlin, Germany
Email: hi(at)iglika.co

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, you can contact me using the email address above.

2. Hosting and Website Infrastructure

This website is built and hosted using Framer, provided by Framer B.V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

When you visit the website, technical information necessary to deliver and secure the website may be processed. This may include:

  • IP address

  • browser and device information

  • operating system

  • requested pages

  • referring website

  • date and time of access

  • technical diagnostic information

This processing is necessary for the reliable and secure operation of the website.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website.

Framer may process personal data on my behalf as a service provider.

3. Framer Analytics

I use Framer Analytics, the built-in analytics functionality provided by Framer, to understand how visitors use my website.

This may include aggregated information such as:

  • page views

  • pages visited

  • traffic sources

  • device types

  • browsers

  • countries or approximate geographical regions

Framer states that its built-in analytics functionality does not rely on cookies or persistent identifiers.

I use this information to understand website performance and improve the content and user experience of the website.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my legitimate interest in analysing and improving my website.

4. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics helps me understand how visitors interact with my website. For example, I may use it to understand:

  • which pages visitors view

  • how visitors arrive at the website

  • how long visitors interact with the website

  • which devices and browsers are used

  • general geographical information

  • interactions with elements of the website

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about website usage and distinguish between users and sessions.

Google Analytics is only activated where the required consent has been provided through the consent banner on this website.

The legal basis for processing personal data through Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — your consent.

You can refuse consent or withdraw previously given consent at any time using the cookie and privacy settings available on this website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

For visitors from the European Economic Area, Google states that IP addresses collected through Google Analytics are not logged or stored in full.

Google may process information through Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and other affiliated companies and service providers.

Some processing may take place outside the European Union or European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, Google relies on applicable mechanisms for international data transfers, such as adequacy decisions including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, or Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.

More information about Google's handling of personal data is available in Google's Privacy Policy and Google Analytics documentation.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies where necessary to provide functionality and, with your consent, for analytics purposes.

When you first visit the website, you are presented with a consent banner that allows you to accept or reject optional technologies.

Non-essential technologies such as Google Analytics are only activated after the required consent has been given.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the privacy or cookie settings available on the website.

Detailed information about the cookies and technologies used on this website can be found in my Cookie Policy.

6. Contacting Me

If you contact me by email or through another communication method provided on this website, I process the information you provide.

This may include:

  • your name

  • email address

  • company

  • project information

  • the contents of your message

  • any other information you choose to provide

I use this information to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you.

If your inquiry concerns a potential project, service or contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as the processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract.

For other business correspondence, processing may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my legitimate interest in communicating with clients, potential clients and professional contacts.

Correspondence is retained only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, unless statutory retention requirements apply.

7. Booking Calls with Cal.com

I use Cal.com to allow visitors and potential clients to schedule meetings with me.

When you book a meeting, personal information may be processed, including:

  • your name

  • email address

  • meeting date and time

  • answers to booking questions

  • information you voluntarily provide

I use this information to organise and conduct the requested meeting and, where applicable, discuss a potential business relationship.

The legal basis for this processing is generally Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the booking relates to taking steps before entering into a contract or performing a contractual relationship.

Cal.com, Inc. may process personal data on my behalf in connection with the booking service.

Cal.com is based in the United States. Personal data may therefore be processed outside the European Economic Area.

Where required, international transfers are protected using appropriate mechanisms under Chapter V GDPR, such as an applicable adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses.

For further information about how Cal.com processes personal data, please refer to Cal.com's Privacy Policy.

8. External Links and Third-Party Websites

My website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social networks, scheduling services, newsletters, projects and other external platforms.

When you follow such a link, you leave my website.

The operator of the external website is responsible for the processing of personal data on that website according to its own privacy policy.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

9. Service Providers and Recipients of Data

I use third-party service providers to operate my website and business.

Depending on how you interact with the website, recipients of personal data may include:

  • Framer B.V. — website hosting and infrastructure

  • Google — website analytics

  • Cal.com, Inc. — scheduling and meeting bookings

  • email and hosting providers used for business communication

Service providers acting as processors may process personal data only for the relevant purpose and according to applicable data protection requirements and contractual arrangements.

I do not sell your personal data.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of the service providers I use are based outside the European Union or European Economic Area or may process information in other countries.

Where personal data is transferred to a country outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards are used where required by GDPR.

These may include:

  • an adequacy decision by the European Commission;

  • participation in an applicable data protection framework, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; or

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

11. Data Retention

I retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The relevant retention period depends on the type of information and the reason it is processed.

Some information may be retained for longer where this is required by legal, accounting, tax or commercial-law retention obligations or where retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings configured in the respective analytics service.

12. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the context, I process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR:

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — Consent
Where you have voluntarily given consent, for example for Google Analytics.

Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — Contract or pre-contractual measures
Where processing is necessary to provide services, respond to project inquiries or take steps before entering into a contract.

Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — Legal obligation
Where I am required to process or retain information to comply with applicable law.

Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — Legitimate interests
Where processing is necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as operating and securing the website, responding to general business communications and improving the website, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

13. Your Rights Under the GDPR

If the GDPR applies to you, you have various rights regarding your personal data.

Depending on the circumstances, these include the right to:

  • obtain information about the personal data I process about you;

  • request access to your personal data;

  • receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;

  • request transmission of your data to another controller where applicable; and

  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

If you withdraw consent, this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at hi(at)iglika.co.

14. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law.

You may contact the supervisory authority responsible for your place of residence or work or the supervisory authority responsible for me as the controller.

15. Automated Decision-Making

I do not use personal data collected through this website for automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
