Privacy & Cookie Policy

Who I am

This website, gvantsa.com, is operated by Gvantsa Kikalishvili (“I”, “me”). I am the data controller responsible for any personal data collected through this site. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can reach me at me@gvantsa.com.

What data I collect

I aim to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:

• Information you choose to give me — for example, your name and email if you contact me by email or book a call.
• Booking details — when you book a call, scheduling is handled by Calendly, which collects the details you enter to arrange the meeting.
• Analytics data — anonymised usage information (such as pages visited and approximate region), collected only if you accept analytics cookies.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site uses two kinds:

• Essential — a single record of your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear on every visit. This is required for the site to respect your preference and is always active.
• Analytics (optional) — Google Analytics, used to understand how the site is used so I can improve it. These cookies load only after you click “Accept”. IP addresses are anonymised.

Legal basis (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, I process your personal data on the following bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Consent — for analytics cookies, which run only with your explicit agreement.
• Legitimate interest / performance of a contract — for responding to your enquiries and arranging the services you request.

How I use your data

I use the information above only to respond to you, to provide and arrange my services, and to understand and improve how the site performs. I do not sell your data, and I do not use it for advertising.

Third parties

A few trusted services help run this site and may process limited data on my behalf:

• Google Analytics — website usage statistics (only with your consent). See Google’s privacy policy.
• Calendly — call scheduling. See Calendly’s privacy policy.

How long I keep your data

I keep enquiry and booking correspondence only for as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then delete it. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ standard retention settings.

Your rights

If you are covered by the GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data I hold about you, to ask me to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent at any time, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email me at me@gvantsa.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
