This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be processed when using the byLIMONOV website (the "Website"), for what purposes it is used and what rights users have.
byLIMONOV is an author's project with materials, stories and observations about cities, travel, aviation, technology, service, education, business and other topics.
1. Who is responsible for data processing
The controller of personal data is:
- Name: Egor Limonov (Егор Александрович Лимонов)
- Status: private individual; declared Russian tax status - payer of the professional income tax ("self-employed")
- Russian INN (taxpayer number): 6670****4139
- Email: contact@bylimonov.online
- Website: [DOMAIN TO BE SPECIFIED]
Hereinafter - the "Operator", "we" or "us".
2. What data may be processed
Depending on how the user uses the Website, the following may be processed:
- IP address and technical identifiers;
- information about the device, operating system and browser;
- date and time of the visit;
- pages visited and technical events related to the operation of the Website;
- information the user sends to the Operator themselves by email or through other available communication channels;
- data needed to ensure security, diagnose errors and prevent abuse;
- information stored via cookies and similar technologies, if such technologies are used.
The current version of the Website does not involve creating user accounts, placing orders, accepting payments or subscribing to a newsletter. If these functions appear, the Policy must be updated before they are launched.
3. Purposes of processing
Data may be processed for the following purposes:
- ensuring the operation, availability and security of the Website;
- displaying pages and providing the functionality requested by the user;
- responding to enquiries sent by the user;
- diagnosing technical problems and preventing abuse;
- analysing traffic and improving the Website - only if the relevant tools are actually used and the necessary legal basis exists;
- fulfilling applicable legal obligations;
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims where necessary.
We must not use data for purposes incompatible with those for which it was collected.
4. Legal bases
Depending on the specific processing, the legal basis may be:
- the user's consent;
- the necessity of performing a contract or taking steps at the user's request before entering into a contract;
- compliance with a legal obligation;
- the legitimate interest of the Operator or a third party, where such interest is not overridden by the user's rights and freedoms.
If processing is based on consent, the user may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies. Necessary cookies may be used without separate consent only if they are truly necessary to provide a service the user has requested or to transmit a message over an electronic communications network.
Optional cookies, including analytics or advertising cookies, must only be used when there is an appropriate legal basis. If consent is required, such technologies must not be activated before the user's consent is obtained.
More details are in the "Cookie Policy" section.
6. Data recipients and service providers
Technical service providers may be engaged to operate the Website, for example hosting providers, infrastructure services, attack protection tools and, where actually used, analytics or embedded content services.
Data is transferred to such providers only to the extent necessary for the relevant function and where there is an appropriate legal basis.
The specific recipients depend on the technology stack the Website actually uses. Before publication, the hosting, CDN, analytics, embedded maps/videos and other external integrations should be checked and listed where required.
If data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, such a transfer must have a basis provided for by applicable law and the necessary safeguards.
7. Retention period
Data is kept no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law or for the defence of legal claims.
The specific period depends on the type of data, the purpose of processing and the service used. Retention periods set by third-party services are also determined by their settings and terms.
8. User rights
Depending on applicable law, the user may have the right to:
- obtain confirmation of processing and access to their data;
- request correction of inaccurate data;
- request deletion of data;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interest;
- receive data in a portable format in cases provided for by law;
- withdraw consent;
- lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
For personal data enquiries, write to contact@bylimonov.online. To protect data, reasonable confirmation of the requester's identity may be required.
9. Supervisory authority
If the user believes that the processing of their personal data violates applicable law, they may contact the competent data protection authority.
If the competent authority is the Slovak Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky, current contacts and instructions are available on its official website: https://dataprotection.gov.sk/
The competent authority depends on the applicable rules and the circumstances of the specific processing.
10. Security
The Operator takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorised access or disclosure.
No method of transmitting or storing data over the Internet can guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to the Policy
The Policy may be updated when the Website's functionality, the services used or applicable legal requirements change. The current version is published on this page with the date of the last update.
