1. Data Protection Standards
At Choicevaultviewx, we prioritize data minimisation. We process user information under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and relevant regional regulations. Because our site acts as a static editorial ledger, we do not require registration, subscription logins, or personal profiles.
Information We Log
We collect basic non-identifiable browser attributes for technical analysis, screen size adjustments, and resource delivery. This includes server log variables such as anonymized IP addresses, browser agents, date/time stamps, and referral paths. If you use our contact form, your name and email are used only to respond to your inquiry and are deleted afterward.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data. We do not use third-party tracking scripts, advertising networks, or behavior profiling systems that track users across other properties on the web.
2. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR Compliance)
Under European data protection laws, our processing of your technical data relies on the following pillars:
- Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): To ensure the operational stability, responsiveness, layout accuracy, and security of our platform.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): For non-essential preferences, such as retaining choices directly within your browser's local memory parameters.
- Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): In the rare instance that technical transmission logs are required to fulfill local cyber-defense reporting measures.
3. Data Retention and Erasure Protocols
Our commitment to local processing means we keep data only as long as necessary for technical implementation:
- Server Access Logs: Retained for a maximum period of 30 days for debugging purposes, after which they are programmatically scrubbed and deleted.
- Editorial Communications: Messages, names, and contact details received via our Helsinki desk are deleted within 90 days of final resolution.
- Browser Local Markers: User layout indicators (such as cookie consent state) reside on your device and can be wiped instantly by clearing browser cache.
4. Your Rights under the GDPR
As a visitor to our Finnish-administered platform, you hold the following rights regarding any data we temporarily collect:
- Right of Access (Art. 15): Request a copy of any correspondence or metadata associated with your connection.
- Right to Rectification (Art. 16): Ask for correction of inaccurate email details submitted to our editorial desks.
- Right to Erasure (Art. 17): Command the immediate scrubbing of any records we maintain from your contact history.
- Right to Restrict or Object (Art. 18 & 21): Limit how we handle security reviews or editorial inquiries.
