2. What Data We Collect
We collect personal data you voluntarily provide through our contact form (name, email, company, subject, message) and through our job application form (name, email, phone, CV, cover letter, and any information you include in your application). We do not use tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies. We do collect anonymous, aggregate visit statistics — which pages are viewed, the referring website, an approximate country of origin, and time spent on a page — without cookies and without any identifier that could be linked back to you; see Section 7 for details.
3. How We Use Your Data
Contact form data is used solely to respond to your enquiry and communicate regarding potential cooperation. Job application data is used to evaluate your candidacy for the position applied for, and may be retained to consider you for future suitable roles. We do not sell your data. Form submissions are sent directly by e-mail through our web hosting and mail provider, WebSupport s.r.o. (Slovakia), which acts as our data processor for this purpose under a hosting agreement. We do not share your data with any other third party.
4. Legal Basis
Contact enquiries: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to respond to business enquiries.
Job applications: pre-contractual measures at the applicant's request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, where you consent to retention for future roles, your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Anonymous site analytics: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to understand how our website is used and improve it.
5. Data Retention
Contact enquiries: retained for up to 12 months from last contact, then deleted.
Job applications: retained for up to 6 months after the recruitment process concludes. If we wish to keep your application on file for future roles, we will ask for your explicit consent. Applications not resulting in employment are securely deleted after this period.
6. Your Rights
Under GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to, or port your personal data. Contact us at info@sgstech.sk. You may also lodge a complaint with Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov SR (dataprotection.gov.sk).
7. Cookies & Third-Party Content
This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. We use your browser's local storage (not a cookie) to remember your language preference and your cookie-consent choice — this data stays on your device and is never transmitted to us. We also collect anonymous, aggregate visit statistics on our own server — the page viewed, the referring website, an approximate country of origin (derived from the visitor's IP address via geolocation, not stored), and time spent on the page — without setting a cookie and without any identifier that could link a visit to a specific person or across visits. This data is used only in aggregate, to understand overall site usage. Some pages may embed a Google Maps location or a YouTube/Vimeo video; these only load when you actively interact with them (e.g. pressing play), and doing so may cause that third party (Google, YouTube, or Vimeo) to set its own cookies, governed by its own privacy policy.
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Form submissions are transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS to our server, and an encrypted SMTP connection to deliver the e-mail). Uploaded CV and cover letter files are attached to the outgoing e-mail and are not additionally stored on our server.
9. International Transfers
Your contact and job application data is processed and stored within the EU/EEA — our hosting and mail provider, WebSupport s.r.o., is based in Slovakia — so no international transfer safeguards are required for this data. If you choose to interact with an embedded Google Maps location or a YouTube/Vimeo video on our site (see Section 7), that provider may separately transfer data outside the EEA under its own privacy policy and legal safeguards, which we do not control.
10. Contact & Complaints
To exercise any of your rights or for any privacy-related query, contact us at info@sgstech.sk. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Slovak supervisory authority: Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov SR, Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava, dataprotection.gov.sk.
