Privacy notice

What happens to the details you send.

Short version: this site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other companies. Personal data is handled only when you send a request, and only to answer it.

Who is responsible

Oļegs Turkovs, self-employed engineer trading as TurkovLAB, Valmiera, Latvia. Contact for any privacy question: olturkovs@gmail.com.

What is collected and why

When you send the request form, these details are stored: your name, company, e-mail address, the deadline and services you selected, your message, the language of the page, the time of sending and the country your connection came from.

They are used for one purpose: to answer your request and prepare an offer. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, steps taken at your request before a contract.

To keep the form from being abused, the number of requests from one IP address is counted for up to one hour and then discarded. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f), the legitimate interest in keeping the form working.

Visiting the site

The site is delivered by Cloudflare. To deliver a page, Cloudflare necessarily processes technical connection data such as your IP address. No cookies are set, no visitor statistics are collected, and fonts, pictures and films are served from this site itself.

Who receives the data

Your request is stored with Cloudflare, Inc., the hosting provider, and reaches a mailbox at Google (Gmail), where applicable through an e-mail delivery service. These providers act as processors under their data processing terms and may process data outside the European Union under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Your details are not sold, and are not passed to anyone else.

How long it is kept

A stored request is deleted automatically after 12 months. If the request leads to an order, the correspondence and documents of that order are kept for as long as Latvian accounting and tax law requires.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its use, and receive it in a portable format. Write to the address above; you get an answer within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the Latvian supervisory authority, Datu valsts inspekcija, dvi.gov.lv.
