Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data under GDPR

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), Web Strana's legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We may process Your Personal Data because:

• Consent: You have given Us permission to do so (e.g., for newsletter subscriptions, and for the use of cookies for advertising and analytics as managed through our consent management tool).
• Legitimate Interests: The processing is in Our legitimate interests and it's not overridden by Your rights. For example, for the purposes of:
  • Responding to your inquiries submitted via our contact form.
  • Operating and maintaining the security of our website (e.g., through CDN logs and IP address analysis for blocking malicious traffic).
  • Understanding website traffic patterns and user engagement to improve our content and website functionality (typically through aggregated or pseudonymized analytics data).
• Legal Obligation: To comply with a legal obligation to which We are subject.

We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on Our Service and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze Our Service. The technologies We use may include:

• Cookies or Browser Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on Your Device. You can instruct Your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, if You do not accept Cookies, You may not be able to use some parts of our Service. Unless you have adjusted Your browser setting so that it will refuse Cookies, our Service may use Cookies.
• Web Beacons. Certain sections of our Service and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit Web Strana, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of a certain section and verifying system and server integrity).

Cookies can be "Persistent" or "Session" Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser.

We use both session and persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:

• Necessary / Essential Cookies

  Type: Session Cookies

  Administered by: Us or essential third-party service providers (e.g., CDN)

  Purpose: These Cookies are essential to provide You with services available through the Website and to enable You to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts (if any). Without these Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided, and We only use these Cookies to provide You with those services.

• Functionality Cookies / Preference Cookies

  Type: Persistent Cookies

  Administered by: Us or third parties

  Purpose: These Cookies allow us to remember choices You make when You use the Website, such as remembering your language preference or consent preferences. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide You with a more personal experience and to avoid You having to re-enter your preferences every time You use the Website.

• Tracking and Performance Cookies (Analytics)

  Type: Persistent Cookies (typically)

  Administered by: Third-Parties (e.g., Google Analytics)

  Purpose: These Cookies are used to track information about traffic to the Website and how users use the Website. The information gathered via these Cookies may directly or indirectly identify you as an individual visitor. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access the Website. We may also use these Cookies to test new pages, features or new functionality of the Website to see how our users react to them.

• Advertising and Targeting Cookies

  Type: Persistent Cookies

  Administered by: Third-Parties (e.g., Google AdSense and its partners)

  Purpose: These Cookies are used to show advertising that is likely to be of interest to you based on your browsing habits. These Cookies, as served by our content and/or advertising providers, may combine information they collected from our website with other information they have independently collected relating to your web browser's activities across their network of websites. If you choose to remove or disable these targeting or advertising Cookies, you will still see adverts but they may not be relevant to you.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies:

When you first visit our Service, particularly if you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner or tool. This tool allows you to provide or withdraw consent for the use of non-essential cookies, including those for analytics and advertising purposes. You can typically revisit your consent choices through a link or icon provided on our website or by clearing your browser cookies for our site, which should cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

Most web browsers also allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

We use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic. Google Analytics uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data may be shared with other services from the same provider. The provider may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network (if applicable).

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic patterns and user engagement to improve our content and website functionality. Consent for the use of cookies for this purpose is managed through the cookie consent tool presented on our website.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google Analytics's provider, please visit their Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. The opt-out browser add-on can typically be found here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may use third-party Service providers to show advertisements on our Service to help support and maintain Our Service, such as Google AdSense.

Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your interaction with our Service and other websites to show you personalized advertisements. The collection and use of your information by Google AdSense and its partners are governed by their respective privacy policies, not this one.

Consent for the use of cookies for personalized advertising is managed through the cookie consent tool (Consent Management Platform or "CMP") presented on our website, which is provided in conjunction with Google AdSense. This tool allows you to manage your preferences regarding data collection for advertising purposes by Google AdSense and its various ad technology partners.

You can often opt out of personalized advertising from many third-party ad networks by visiting opt-out portals such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://optout.aboutads.info/) or the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/). If you are in the European Union, you may visit Your Online Choices (www.youronlinechoices.eu/).

Web Strana undertakes to respect the confidentiality of Your Personal Data and to guarantee You can exercise Your rights.

You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU, to:

• Request access to Your Personal Data. The right to access, update or delete the information We have on You. As we do not offer user accounts, any request regarding your personal data (such as email addresses submitted via contact forms or newsletter sign-ups) should be made directly to us.
• Request correction of the Personal Data that We hold about You. You have the right to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about You corrected.
• Object to processing of Your Personal Data. This right exists where We are relying on a legitimate interest as the legal basis for Our processing and there is something about Your particular situation, which makes You want to object to our processing of Your Personal Data on this ground. You also have the right to object where We are processing Your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
• Request erasure of Your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data when there is no good reason for Us to continue processing it.
• Request the restriction of processing of Your Personal Data. You have the right to ask Us to restrict the processing of Your personal information.
• Request the transfer of Your Personal Data (Data Portability). You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information We have on You in a structured, machine-readable and commonly used format (where technically feasible and applicable to the data we hold, such as your email address if you subscribed to our newsletter).
• Withdraw Your consent. You have the right to withdraw Your consent on using your Personal Data. If You withdraw Your consent, We may not be able to provide You with access to certain specific functionalities of the Service. For cookies, consent can be managed via our cookie consent tool. For newsletters, you can unsubscribe using the link in the email or the form at Unsubscribe Page.

Exercising of Your GDPR Data Protection Rights

You may exercise Your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability by contacting Us at [email protected].

Please note that we may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to such requests. This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may ask for information to confirm your identity, such as requesting you to contact us from an email address we may have on file for you, or asking for details about your prior interaction with our Service.

If You make a request, We will try our best to respond to You as soon as possible, and within one month as required by GDPR.

You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of Your Personal Data. For more information, if You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact Your local data protection authority in the EEA. The Slovenian Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec) can be contacted via their website.

Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at Web Strana's operating offices (if any) and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. The primary storage location for data actively collected by us (such as through contact forms or newsletter sign-ups) is within the EEA (European Economic Area).

However, as we use global service providers (such as CDNs, analytics providers like Google Analytics, and advertising providers like Google Analytics), your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of Your jurisdiction, including countries such as the United States.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information, or your use of our Service where such providers are active, represents Your agreement to that transfer where applicable law permits.

Web Strana will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. When transferring personal data outside the EEA, we rely on adequacy decisions by the European Commission where available, or appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) implemented by our service providers, or your explicit consent where applicable, to ensure a level of data protection consistent with GDPR requirements.

We do not have a formally appointed Data Protection Officer (DPO) as we are not required to under current data protection laws. However, should you have any questions or concerns regarding your privacy or this policy, please contact us using the details provided in the "Contact Us" section.

The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. These may include, but are not limited to, the use of SSL/TLS technology for data in transit, security measures provided by our CDN and hosting provider (e.g., firewalls, security audits), and access controls to data we store.

We will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Specifically:

• Personal data from contact form submissions is retained for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide any follow-up assistance, and for a reasonable period thereafter for our internal record-keeping (e.g., typically up to 12-24 months unless an ongoing dialogue or legal requirement necessitates longer retention). We periodically review stored data and delete information that is no longer necessary.
• Email addresses for newsletter subscriptions are retained as long as you remain subscribed. Upon unsubscribing, your email address will be removed from our active mailing list within a reasonable timeframe.
• Usage Data collected for analytics purposes is generally retained for a period defined by our analytics provider (e.g., Google Analytics may retain data for a period such as 14, 26, 38, or 50 months, or indefinitely until manually deleted, depending on settings). This data is often aggregated or pseudonymized. Please refer to the analytics provider's policies for specific details.

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18.

If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent (where applicable by law), We take steps to remove that information from Our servers or records.

If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information (though our service is intended for users 18 and above).

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy if the changes are material. For minor changes, updating the Effective Date and posting the new policy on this page will suffice.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, You can contact us:
