Privacy Policy
General Provisions
This Privacy Policy defines how our website (an informational portfolio on the Wix platform) collects, uses, and protects the personal data of users. We are committed to ensuring the privacy and protection of your data in accordance with applicable laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable regulations. By using our website, You agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Our website is developed on the Wix platform, which means that a portion of the data processing and storage is carried out by Wix services. We have taken into account Wix's recommendations regarding privacy and have implemented the necessary tools to protect data.

-
Analytics and statistics: We may use third-party analytical services (such as Google Analytics) to collect and analyze statistical data on website traffic. This data is collected anonymously or pseudonymously, without direct identification of individuals, and allows us to track usage trends of the website.
-
Ensuring security and legal obligations: In certain cases, we may use data to maintain the security of the website, prevent fraud, and comply with legal requirements. For example, IP addresses may be used to detect suspicious activity, and contact information may be used to clarify details of an order or agreement.

Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure its proper functioning and to enhance the user experience. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) when you visit the website. They help to remember your settings, recognize you on subsequent visits, and collect statistical information about the use of the website.
How we use cookies:
-
Essential cookies: Some cookies are necessary for the operation of the website. They allow You to browse pages and use the core functions. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly.
-
Analytical cookies: We may use analytical or performance cookies (such as Google Analytics) to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us assess which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend on the website, and other metrics. This information is collected in aggregated form and is used for statistical purposes and website improvement.
-
Functional cookies: If the website has customizable elements (such as language or theme selection), such cookies can remember your choices to make your experience on the website more convenient for You.
Your control over cookies: You have the right to control and delete cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but You can change your browser settings to reject new cookies, delete existing ones, or receive notifications before they are stored.

Transfer of Data to Third Parties
We respect your privacy and do not sell or transfer personal data to third parties for their independent use. However, in the course of operating the website and providing you with services, it may be necessary for us to grant access to the data to reliable third parties (service providers), but only under specified conditions:
-
Wix platform and related services: Our website is hosted on the Wix platform, which acts as a data processor on our behalf. This means that the data You provide through the website (for example, by filling out a form) is stored on Wix servers. Wix may access this data to ensure the proper functioning of the website (for example, to transmit your messages to us, store information in a database, etc.). Wix is committed to processing personal data in accordance with its own Privacy Policy and the requirements of the GDPR/CCPA.
-
Analytical and statistical services: We may share certain data (for example, anonymized information about website usage) with web analytics services such as Google Analytics or similar tools. These third-party service providers help us analyze traffic and user behavior on the website. The information they receive via cookies and other means does not contain direct personal identifiers (such as your name or email), but may include IP address, device data, geolocation (anonymized), etc. These services operate in accordance with their own privacy policies, but we ensure that they also comply with the requirements of the GDPR and CCPA.
-
Marketing and advertising tools (if necessary): If in the future we decide to conduct marketing campaigns, we may use tools such as Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or others. They may collect some data about You through cookies to display targeted advertising or track conversions. Such tools will be used only as needed and in accordance with the law (for example, with your consent, if required).
-
Compliance with the law: We may disclose your information to third parties if required by law. For example, in response to a request from law enforcement, a court, or another governmental authority – but only to the extent that is necessary and as provided by law. Such disclosure may occur to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, to investigate fraud, or in response to a government request.
We guarantee that all third parties to whom we transfer data provide a reliable level of information protection. With each such partner, we have concluded appropriate confidentiality and data processing agreements (if required by the nature of the cooperation), and they are not permitted to use your data for any purposes other than providing services to us and You. We do not provide your data to any third-party organizations for their direct marketing or other external initiatives.
Protection of Information
We take the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, improper use, or disclosure. Recognizing the importance of information security, we have implemented the following measures:
-
Encryption and secure connection: Our website uses the HTTPS/SSL protocol. This means that all data that You transmit via the website (for example, when filling out a contact form) is encrypted during transmission. Encryption helps protect the information from interception by third parties.
-
Secured servers and storage: Personal data is stored on secured Wix servers. Wix, as the hosting provider, ensures the physical and network security of the servers by using firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other security measures. We trust Wix's infrastructure, which complies with international information security standards.
-
Access restriction: Access to personal data is restricted to us (the website owners) and authorized employees/staff (if any) who require this information to perform their duties. All such persons are required to adhere to confidentiality agreements.
-
Monitoring and prevention of breaches: We periodically check our website and systems for vulnerabilities and potential attacks. Updated protection measures against viruses and malware are used. In the event of detecting suspicious activity or a potential data breach, we will take immediate action to eliminate the threat and notify the relevant authorities and You (if your data is affected), in accordance with legal requirements.
We also adhere to the principle of data minimization: we collect only the information that is necessary for the specified purposes and store it for no longer than necessary. Personal data will be stored for the period required to provide services to You and for the purposes described above, or for another period as directly provided by law. After that, we will safely delete or anonymize the data. If You wish to have your data deleted sooner, You can always contact us with such a request (see the User Rights section below).
Although we do our utmost to protect the information, it is important to remember that no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute data security, but we assure you that we continuously work on improving the level of protection and respond immediately to any incidents.
User Rights
According to data protection laws, You have a number of rights regarding your personal data. We respect these rights and strive to facilitate their exercise. In particular, You are guaranteed the following rights:
-
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data, as well as to obtain a copy of the data we store about You. We will provide this information in the usual manner (typically by email) within the legally prescribed time frame.
-
Right to rectification: If any information about You stored with us is outdated, incorrect, or incomplete, You have the right to request its correction or updating. We will promptly make the necessary changes after receiving your request and proper identity verification (to ensure that the changes are indeed being requested by You).
-
Right to deletion ("right to be forgotten"): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. If You no longer wish for us to process your information, and there are no legal grounds for retaining it (for example, legal requirements or necessity for legal disputes), we will delete your data from our systems. Please note that after the deletion of data, we may not be able to continue providing certain services to You that required the use of that information.
-
Right to withdraw consent: In cases where the processing of your data is based on your consent (for example, if You agreed to the use of cookies or subscribed to a newsletter), You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the previously given consent. If You withdraw your consent, we will cease the corresponding data processing for those purposes.
-
Right to object and restrict processing: You have the right to object to the processing of your data in certain cases, particularly if we process data on the basis of our legitimate interests. You may also request a temporary restriction of the processing of your data (for example, while we verify the accuracy of your data or our grounds for processing).
-
Rights under CCPA (for California residents): If You are a resident of California, You have additional rights under the CCPA. These include the right to know which categories of data we collect and for what purpose, the right to know the categories of third parties to whom we may disclose this data, and the right to request the deletion of your data (as stated above). Additionally, the CCPA guarantees You the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. This means that we will not deny you services, provide a lower quality of service, or impose other conditions solely because You have exercised your privacy rights. Please note that we do not sell users' personal data, so the right to opt out of data sales is effectively ensured by our practice.
To exercise your rights, You may contact us using any of the convenient methods provided in the Contact Information section below. Upon receiving your request, we may ask You to verify your identity (for example, via email or by other means) – this is necessary to ensure that the request is being made by the data subject and to protect Your data from unauthorized access. We will respond to all legitimate requests within the timeframes prescribed by law (typically within 30 days for GDPR rights, or 45 days for CCPA rights, with the possibility of extension if necessary). The exercise of your rights is free of charge: You will not incur any fees for submitting such requests, except in cases of abuse (repeated unfounded requests may result in an administrative fee as permitted by law).
