PRIVACY POLICY

Welcome to 403bits! Protecting your personal data is very important to us. This privacy policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information when you interact with us through our website.

1. Definitions

Below are the definitions of main terms used in the content of this page:

  • Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person (the “data subject”). This includes information such as a name or email address that can be linked to an individual.

  • Data Subject

The data subject is any identified or identifiable person whose personal data is processed by 403bits. For example, this includes individuals who contact us via the contact form or email.

  • Processing

Processing refers to any action taken with personal data, including collecting, storing, using, and deleting it.

  • Controller

The controller is the entity responsible for deciding how and why personal data is processed. For this website, the data controller is 403bits.

  • Consent

Consent is the data subject’s voluntary agreement to the processing of their personal data for a specific purpose. For example, by submitting an inquiry through our contact form, users consent to 403bits using their personal data to respond to their inquiry.

  • IP Anonymization

IP anonymization means processing IP addresses in a way that removes any direct link to an individual. For Google Analytics on this site, IP addresses are anonymized, ensuring that they cannot be traced back to specific users.

2. Controller Information

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

403bits
Email: contact@403bits.com

If you have any questions regarding this privacy policy, please feel free to contact us via email.

3. Personal Data We Collect

We collect and process personal data only if you voluntarily provide it to us. This may include:

  • Full name, Company Name, Email Address, Phone, Message: When you contact us through our contact form or email us directly at contact@403bits.com, we collect this information solely to respond to your inquiry.

403bits does not collect any additional personal data automatically when you visit our website.

4. Use of Automated Analytics Systems

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics allows us to track general website usage patterns, such as the number of visitors and which pages are most frequently viewed. We have configured Google Analytics with settings that ensure data is anonymized and no personal information is collected. This includes:

  • IP Anonymization: Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address by truncating it within the EU or EEA before it is sent to Google, making it impossible to trace back to individual users.
  • No Data Sharing: We have disabled all data-sharing settings in Google Analytics to prevent data from being used for advertising or other purposes beyond our aggregate analysis.

This means that the data we collect through Google Analytics is entirely anonymous and used only to understand general website usage trends. We do not collect any personal information that would allow us to identify you as an individual.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics in this way is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in analyzing our website’s usage and optimizing its performance.

5. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Responding to Inquiries: If you contact us, we use your name and email address to respond to your questions or provide information about our services.
  • Website Usage Analysis: The anonymized data from Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website, allowing us to improve its structure and content.

6. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it. While we strive to use state-of-the-art methods (such as SSL encryption) to secure data transmission, please note that internet data transfers may have security gaps.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal regulations. Data collected via contact inquiries is retained until the inquiry is resolved unless a longer retention period is required. Anonymized data from Google Analytics is retained as per Google’s default data retention policies.

8. Your Rights

You have the following rights under the GDPR:

  • Right to Access: You can request information about your personal data that we process.
  • Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data, provided no legal retention requirements exist.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can request a restriction on data processing under certain conditions.
  • Right to Object: You can object to our processing of your data if it is based on legitimate interest.
  • Right to Data Portability: If applicable, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@403bits.com. Additionally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data violates GDPR regulations.

9. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally to ensure compliance with the latest legal requirements or to reflect changes in our data processing practices. The latest version will always be available on our website.
