Privacy policy.How I handle the information you send me.

01What data I collect and why

Through the contact form, I collect your name, email address and, if you write one, your message. I use this data solely to reply to your enquiry and, where relevant, to prepare a quote or consultation. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). I don’t sell data from the contact form or use it to send marketing messages.

02How long I keep your data

Contact form submissions and enquiries are kept for a maximum of 1 year, unless we go on to work together.

03Who processes your data

Your data is processed by me, Patrik Derka (Company ID 08820325), as the operator and controller of this website. To deliver messages from the form, I use email and hosting providers that handle the data only on my behalf and may not use it for their own purposes.

04Cookies

I use strictly necessary cookies and your browser’s local storage for the website to work and to remember your cookie choice. These don’t require consent. Only with your consent do I load analytics and advertising measurement: the Google tag (Google Analytics and Google Ads) from Google Ireland Ltd., which sets the cookies _ga and _ga_* (for up to 2 years) and _gcl_au and _gcl_aw (for up to 3 months). They help me measure how many people came from Google ads and sent an enquiry. Google may process this data outside the EU in line with its own policies. Without your consent, the Google tag is not loaded. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

05Your rights

• Ask what data I process about you, for what purpose, to what extent, for how long and who has access to it.
• Request that this data be corrected or erased.
• Request that processing be restricted, or that your data be handed over in a commonly used format.
• Object to the processing of your data.

06Where to turn

If you believe I’m processing your data in breach of the applicable law, please contact me at itsme@patrikderka.com. If you’re not satisfied with how your complaint is handled, you can lodge a complaint with the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů) or with the data protection authority in your country of residence.
