Privacy Policy
Contents
This Privacy Policy explains how Westonix SIA handles your personal data when you visit our website, contact us, or work with us. We keep things plain, and we collect only what we genuinely need to help you.
1. Who we are
The controller responsible for your personal data is:
- Westonix SIA — Digital Growth Studio
- Registration No. 40203754023
- Ganību dambis 17-9, Rīga, LV-1045, Latvia
- Email: Office@westonix.com
As the controller, we decide why and how your personal data is processed. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, please contact us using the details above.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal data we process about visitors to our website, people who contact us through our forms or by email, and clients and prospective clients of our services. It does not apply to third-party websites we may link to — those services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to read them.
3. Personal data we collect
We collect personal data that you provide directly to us, as well as limited technical information collected automatically when you use our website.
- Contact-form data — your name, email address, company name (optional) and the contents of your message, including any details you choose to share about your project, goals and timeline.
- Communications — records of correspondence when you email us or reply to us, so we can respond and keep track of our conversation.
- Technical & usage data — information collected automatically, such as your IP address, device and browser type, the pages you view and how you arrived at our site.
- Cookies — small files placed on your device. For details on the cookies we use and how to manage them, see our Cookies Policy.
4. How we use your data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and provide the information or proposal you have requested.
- To provide, manage and improve our services and our relationship with you.
- To understand how our website is used through analytics, so we can make it more useful.
- To protect the security and integrity of our website and systems.
- To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
5. Legal bases under the GDPR
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we only process your personal data where we have a valid legal basis to do so:
- Consent — for example, where you place non-essential cookies or sign up for optional communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
- Performance of a contract — to deliver the services you have engaged us for and to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
- Legitimate interests — to respond to your inquiries, run and improve our business, and keep our website secure, provided your rights do not override these interests.
- Legal obligation — where we are required to process or retain data to comply with applicable law, such as accounting and tax rules.
6. Cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences and understand how it is used. Non-essential cookies, including analytics, are only set with your consent. You can review the categories we use and change your choices at any time in our Cookies Policy.
7. Service providers & data sharing
We share personal data only where necessary, and only with trusted partners who process it on our behalf under appropriate agreements. These may include:
- Analytics and advertising providers — such as Google (for Analytics and Google Ads) and Meta (for advertising), to measure performance and support marketing where you have consented.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers — to host our website and store data securely.
- Email and communication providers — to send and receive messages with you.
We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights. We never sell your personal data.
8. International data transfers
Some of our service providers operate outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards to protect it — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection. You can contact us for more information about these safeguards.
9. Data retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as we are legally required to retain it — for example, to meet accounting and tax obligations. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
10. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Access — to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Erasure — to request deletion of your data where there is no overriding reason for us to keep it.
- Restriction — to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
- Portability — to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format, or have it transferred to another controller.
- Objection — to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — to withdraw any consent you have given, at any time, without affecting processing carried out before withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at Office@westonix.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by law. If you believe we have not handled your data properly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with Latvia's supervisory authority, the Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija).
11. Security
We take the protection of your personal data seriously and apply reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we work to keep our safeguards appropriate to the risks involved.
12. Changes & how to contact us
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your personal data, please contact us at Office@westonix.com or by post at Westonix SIA, Ganību dambis 17-9, Rīga, LV-1045, Latvia.
