How we work with your data

Hello, it’s OVD-Info! Here is some information about the privacy policy that we adhere to when we use your personal data.

Last updated: 20 April, 2023

What we know about you

For us to email you back, we need to know:

  • your email address, which you submitted when you subscribed to our newsletter;
  • information about cookies on your computer that are read when you visit our website. Almost every webpage on the Internet uses this anonymized information to collect statistics.

How and why we use this data

By providing your personal data, you have automatically consented to its use in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy. We have the right to receive, process, store and distribute this data. In this context, distribution means that we enter your data into the database of the distribution service.

We need all this to email you

Based on anonymized data, we will be able to find out how often you open our emails and how many people have unsubscribed from the newsletter.

More on storage and distribution

We use Mailjet to send out our emails. This is one of the most popular platforms used for sending newsletters.

Mailjet has its own legal entity, so when we interact with their service (enter your data to send you an email), we thereby «distribute» your data to them, according to legal terminology.

When you give us your email, your email address is automatically entered into Mailjet, where it is stored. Since you have provided us with your data — email address and cookies — we have the right to use them in any way permitted by law. We have this right indefinitely — unless, of course, you withdraw your consent. You can do this by emailing: [email protected].

We protect your data from being accessed, destroyed, altered, blocked, copied, or distributed by anyone. We also protect it from other illegal actions according to the law.

Mailjet protects it as well as per Mailjet’s Privacy Policy that you can read on their website.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • check with us about what kind of data we have collected–including automatically–and how it is used (see above);
  • correct your information if it has changed;
  • prohibit us from processing and storing your data at any time;
  • prohibit us from using your data, but allow us to store it;
  • prohibit us from using your data for a specific purpose, such as marketing (but we will not do that anyway);
  • prohibit actions that a computer performs with your data without human intervention (but in the case of our newsletter, this means that you would not be able to receive it: emails are sent out automatically).

If you would like to use any of these opportunities, please email us at [email protected]

Our rights

We may change the terms of this privacy policy. This is a transparent procedure and we will notify you in advance if we want or plan to do this, as well as indicate the date the policy was last updated.

If you have any questions about our policy and the data we collect, you can email [email protected]. We will make sure to answer you.
