NORTHON s.r.o., Company ID 54 785 821, Vysokoškolákov 8556/33B, 010 08 Žilina, Slovakia, is the controller of this website and the personal data obtained through related communication. Contact: northon@northon.sk.
2. What data we process and why
When you contact us through the enquiry form or by email, we process the data you provide, in particular your first and last name, contact details, organisation name and company ID, and the content of your message. We store enquiries sent through the form in a secure database operated by the website provider. We use this data to respond to your question or request for a quote, communicate before a contract is agreed and, where applicable, manage a subsequent contractual relationship. Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis is taking steps before entering into a contract, performing a contract or our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry.
When you visit the site, the technical infrastructure may process essential operational data, such as your IP address, request time and technical logs, to deliver the site securely and protect it against misuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure website.
3. Cookies and local storage
We currently do not set analytics or marketing cookies on this site or run advertising measurement. In your browser’s local storage, we only keep a record that you have read the cookie notice, so it does not appear on every visit. You can remove this choice by clearing the site data in your browser. The “Cookie information” link in the footer will reopen the notice. Storage that is technically necessary does not require consent.
The site may load an external font from Google Fonts, in which case your browser contacts its server. If you follow an external link, the policies of that website apply.
4. Recipients and retention
Hosting, technical operations and email service providers may process data to the extent necessary to support the website and communication. We retain communication data while handling an enquiry and afterwards as needed to protect rights and meet legal obligations. We retain contract and accounting data for the periods set by applicable law. Operational logs are kept according to the settings of the technical service provider and only for security and operational purposes.
5. Your rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interest. To exercise your rights, email northon@northon.sk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic.
