Privacy notice
This notice covers the website www.meta-code.sk and the emails you send us. In short: the website sets no cookies of its own, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other hosts, and your browser keeps one setting - the language you chose.
Who is responsible
Meta Code s. r. o., Karpatské námestie 10/A, 831 06 Bratislava, runs this website and decides how the personal data described here is used: under the GDPR, it is the controller. For anything about your data, write to [email protected].
Cookies
This website sets no cookies of its own, and none for analytics or advertising. The content delivery network that delivers it, which Cloudflare runs for DigitalOcean, can set one short-lived security cookie, __cf_bm, to tell people from bots. It is encrypted, does not correspond to any account or identifier on this website, and expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Cloudflare describes it as strictly necessary for that protection. The site shows no cookie banner.
No analytics, no tracking, nothing from other hosts
There is no analytics, no tracking pixel, no advertising and no content embedded from other services. Every font, image, script and style comes from www.meta-code.sk itself, so opening a page contacts no other host. Links to LinkedIn and Facebook take you to those services only when you follow them.
Your language choice, stored in your browser
When you answer the offer to read this site in Slovak, or use the EN | SK switch in the header, your browser stores your choice in its local storage under the key mc-lang-choice, with the value en or sk. The choice stays on your device and is never sent to us; it only keeps the offer from appearing again. You can remove it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Server logs
The site is hosted on DigitalOcean App Platform, which delivers it through a content delivery network powered by Cloudflare. To send you a page, their servers process what your browser sends with every request: your IP address, the address of the page, the time and your browser's name and version. App Platform's documentation describes no access log for a static website like this one, so Meta Code receives no log of your visits and keeps none.
The logs App Platform keeps for us are build and deploy logs, kept for 90 days, which record changes to the website, not its visitors. DigitalOcean's documentation does not state how long its network keeps request data; DigitalOcean's privacy policy explains how it handles data.
This processing, and the security cookie above, rest on our legitimate interest in delivering the website and keeping it secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
When you write to us
When you email [email protected], we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever your message contains. We use them only to answer you and to handle what follows from your message, such as an offer, a project or a contract.
The legal basis is the steps you ask us to take before a contract, and the contract itself (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). For any other message, it is our legitimate interest in answering it and keeping our business correspondence (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Our email runs on Google Workspace, so Google stores the messages for us. We keep an email as long as the conversation and what follows from it need it, and longer only where the law requires us to keep business records. Then we delete it.
Who else handles your data
Two providers process personal data on our behalf: DigitalOcean hosts the website and delivers it through Cloudflare, and Google provides our email. Both are US companies, so data may be processed outside the European Union. Their data-processing terms protect such transfers with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We give your data to no one else unless the law requires it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us for access to your personal data and a copy of it, and to have it corrected or erased. You can also ask us to restrict its processing, object to processing based on our legitimate interest, and receive the data you gave us in a portable format. Write to [email protected]. We answer without undue delay, and within one month at the latest. As the website keeps no personal data about its visitors, a request will usually concern your emails with us.
If you think we handle your personal data unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky), Galvaniho 7/B, 821 04 Bratislava, dataprotection.gov.sk. Filing it is free of charge.
