2. The data we collect
We only collect what we need to respond to you, deliver our services and keep our site secure. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include the following categories.
Information you give us
When you contact us by email or through the contact form on this website, you may provide:
- Your name: so we know who we are speaking with.
- Your email address: so we can reply to your enquiry.
- Your company or project name: where you choose to share it, to give context.
- The content of your message: including any project details, budget indication or other information you decide to include.
Please share only what is necessary. We ask that you do not send us special category data (such as health, political or biometric information) through the contact form.
Technical data
When you visit this website, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record limited technical information in server logs, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page and the date and time of your request. This data is used to operate the site reliably and to protect it against misuse.
Usage data
We may collect basic, aggregated information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed, to understand what is useful and to improve our content. Where this involves non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we rely on your consent.
Cookies
This website uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies. For full details of what is set and why, and how to manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.
3. How and why we use your data
We only process personal data where we have a valid legal basis to do so under Article 6 of the GDPR. The table below sets out each purpose and the corresponding legal basis.
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Responding to your enquiries and correspondence | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)), and, where you are asking us to prepare an engagement, steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Providing our services and managing our client relationship | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Keeping our website and systems secure and preventing fraud or abuse | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Meeting our accounting, tax and other legal obligations | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Optional analytics and any non-essential cookies | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced those interests against your rights and freedoms and consider our use to be proportionate and expected. You can object to this processing at any time, see Your rights under the GDPR.
4. Cookies & similar technologies
We take a deliberately light approach to cookies. The website functions using essential cookies only, which are necessary for it to work and to keep it secure. These do not require consent under the ePrivacy rules.
Any non-essential cookies, for example, optional analytics that help us understand how the site is used, are only set with your consent, and you are free to decline or withdraw that consent without affecting core functionality. A full, up-to-date list of the cookies we use, their purpose and their duration is maintained in our Cookie Policy.
5. Sharing your data & processors
We do not sell your personal data, and we never will. We do not share it for third-party advertising. We share it only where it is necessary to run our business, and only with trusted providers who act as our processors under a written agreement.
These providers help us with:
- Website hosting and infrastructure: to serve this site and store server logs.
- Email and communications: to receive and reply to your messages.
Our fonts are self-hosted and served from our own infrastructure, so your visit does not send data to any third-party font or content-delivery network.
Each processor is permitted to use your data only on our documented instructions and must apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards. We may also disclose personal data where we are required to do so by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
6. International transfers
We are established in the European Union and prefer providers that store and process data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Where a processor operates outside the EEA, we ensure that an appropriate transfer mechanism is in place, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission, or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) together with any additional safeguards required to give your data an equivalent level of protection.
If you would like more information about the safeguards applied to a specific transfer, please contact us at hello@livinity.dev.
7. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as we are required to retain it by law.
- Enquiry and contact data: retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to maintain a reasonable record of our correspondence, typically up to 24 months after our last contact, unless it becomes part of an ongoing client relationship.
- Client and contract data: retained for the duration of the engagement and afterwards for as long as necessary to meet legal, accounting and tax obligations.
- Server logs and technical data: retained for a short period for security and diagnostics, then deleted or anonymised.
When personal data is no longer required, we securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it.
8. Your rights under the GDPR
Subject to the conditions set out in the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access: to obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and to receive a copy of it.
- Right to rectification: to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Right to erasure: to have your data deleted where there is no overriding reason for us to keep it (the “right to be forgotten”).
- Right to restriction: to ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability: to receive the data you provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to object: to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint: with a supervisory authority (see Complaints).
To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at hello@livinity.dev. We will respond within the timeframe required by law (generally within one month) and will not charge a fee unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
9. Data security
We take the security of your personal data seriously and apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss. These include encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, the principle of least privilege, keeping the amount of data we hold to a minimum, and working only with reputable providers who maintain their own robust security practices.
No method of transmission or storage is ever completely secure, but we continually review our measures and, in the unlikely event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and, where required, affected individuals in line with our GDPR obligations.
10. Children's privacy
Our website and services are directed at businesses and professionals, not at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
11. Complaints
We would always encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any concern directly. However, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In Cyprus, this is the:
Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (Cyprus)
Website: https://www.dataprotection.gov.cy
You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence or place of work.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our services, or the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to make them more prominent. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
