Privacy Policy

Edition dated July 29, 2026

This Policy describes what data the website sergeygikalo.com (hereinafter — "the Site") receives from the user, why it is used, to whom it is transferred and how long it is stored. By using the Site, the user confirms consent with this Policy. If the user does not agree with its terms, they should stop using the Site.

1. What data we process

Name, email address and message text — if the user voluntarily provides them in the contact form. IP address and browser data — to protect the contact form from spam, abuse and unauthorized access. Yandex SmartCaptcha cookies — to verify that the request to the form is made by a human, not an automated system.

2. What we do not collect

The Site does not require registration and does not maintain user accounts. Payment details, bank card numbers and account numbers are not requested or processed. The Site does not collect identity documents, does not conduct verification and does not request taxpayer identification numbers. Advertising and third-party analytics trackers are not used: visit data is not transferred to third parties for advertising or analytics purposes.

3. Purposes of processing

receiving and processing requests sent through the contact form; responding to user requests and providing the requested information; ensuring security, detecting and preventing abuse and spam; operation of the Site and its technical support.

4. Grounds for processing

Processing is carried out on the basis of the user's consent expressed when submitting the contact form, as well as for legitimate interests — protecting the Site from spam and abuse. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by sending a request to the Site owner's email.

5. Transfer to third parties

The Site does not sell or transfer user data for advertising purposes. Transfer is limited to the following cases: Yandex SmartCaptcha service — data necessary to verify that the request is made by a human (IP address, browser data and SmartCaptcha cookies) is transferred. Email service and hosting provider — to the extent necessary for the Site to function and to deliver the request to the owner by email. Authorized bodies — upon a lawful and properly formalized request.

6. Retention periods

Requests sent through the contact form are stored in the Site's database for the duration of its operation and are used to respond to the user's request. The user has the right to request deletion of their data — by sending a request to the Site owner's email.

7. Cookies and local storage

The Site uses only functional and protective cookies of the Yandex SmartCaptcha service necessary for the contact form to work. Advertising and third-party analytics trackers are not used. Clearing cookies in the browser does not affect the Site's performance, but may require re-submitting the form.

8. Data protection

Data exchange between the user and the Site is carried out over HTTPS. Access to servers is limited and protected by key authentication. Requests sent through the contact form are stored in a secure database and forwarded to the Site owner by email.

9. User rights

The user has the right to request information about the processed data, demand its correction or deletion, as well as withdraw consent to processing. The request is sent to the Site owner's email specified in the "Contacts" section. Response time — up to 30 days.

10. Minors

The Site is not intended for persons under 18 years of age and does not deliberately collect their data.
