Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Sink Deer processes personal data on sinkdeerinvitation.store in connection with professional development courses and related site functions.
Data We Collect
We may collect identifiers and contact details, account or course registration information, payment-related records where needed, communications sent to us, and technical data such as device type, browser settings, IP address, and usage activity. In a professional development context, we may also process course progress, attendance, assessment results, and preference information.
Sources of Data
We receive data directly from users when they create an account, enroll in a course, submit forms, or contact us. We also collect data automatically through the website and cookies, and we may receive limited information from service providers that support payment processing, analytics, hosting, or fraud prevention.
Types of Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep the site working, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent. Where required, non-essential cookies are used only after consent or other lawful basis applies.
Cookie Controls
You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the site’s cookie controls. Blocking some cookies may affect site functions, including login, course access, or preference storage. Essential cookies are used only to support core operation and security.
How We Use Data
We use personal data to provide and administer courses, manage accounts, process registrations and payments, communicate with users, maintain site security, improve site performance, analyze usage, comply with legal obligations, and handle inquiries or disputes. We may also use data to enforce our terms and to support internal recordkeeping.
Service Providers
We may share personal data with vendors and other service providers that support hosting, analytics, payment processing, communications, security, and course delivery. These parties act under contractual or similar obligations and may process data only for the services they provide to us.
Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data when required to comply with law, a court order, or a lawful request from a public authority. We may also share data where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of users, the site, or our operations.
GDPR Overview
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on a lawful basis such as consent, contract performance, legal obligation, or legitimate interests. We limit processing to what is necessary for the stated purpose and apply appropriate safeguards to the data we handle.
Because Sink Deer serves users in Slovakia and other EEA locations, GDPR applies to personal data processed in connection with those users where the regulation is relevant.
GDPR Rights
Where the GDPR applies, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to receive data portability in appropriate cases. If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing. We may need to verify identity before acting on a request.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights to access your data, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, object to certain processing, or ask for restriction of processing. Some requests may not be granted where retention or processing is required by law or for legitimate business reasons.
How to Make a Request
To exercise a privacy right, submit a request through the contact details in this policy and describe the data or right involved. We may ask for information needed to confirm your identity and to locate the relevant records. If a request is refused in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where required by law.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal or accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to maintain records required for security or business administration. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it where feasible.
Policy Updates
If we make material changes, we will update the policy text and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The revised version takes effect when posted unless a later effective date is stated.
