Purposes and legal grounds
- operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the website;
- remember and enforce consent choices;
- send the requested newsletter and manage unsubscriptions;
- respond to correction, privacy, accessibility, copyright, and general messages; and
- meet applicable legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.
The legal ground depends on the activity and applicable law. It may include consent, steps requested before a service is provided, legitimate interests in operating and protecting the publication, or a legal obligation. Consent can be withdrawn for future processing without making earlier lawful processing unlawful.
Service providers and recipients
The launch stack may involve Hostinger for hosting and related infrastructure, WordPress software, Complianz for consent and cookie documentation, Kit for newsletter subscriptions and delivery, and Google only for services that are deliberately enabled. Providers process data under their own terms and, where applicable, agreements with the site operator.
The publication does not sell visitor personal data. Information may be disclosed when required by applicable law, necessary to protect rights or security, or directed by the person concerned.
International processing
Some service providers may process data in Serbia, the European Economic Area, the United States, or other locations. Where restricted international transfers apply, the relevant provider and controller safeguards should be used. Provider locations and safeguards can change and should be reviewed periodically.
Retention
Personal data is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the stated purpose, security, dispute handling, legal obligations, and reliable records. Newsletter data is generally retained until unsubscribe or deletion, subject to limited suppression records needed to respect an opt-out. Email and correction records are retained as long as needed to respond and preserve editorial accountability. Hosting and security-log retention depends on configured infrastructure and security needs.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, a person may have rights to information, access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. Requests can be sent to the email above. Identity may need to be verified proportionately before a request is fulfilled.
Complaints may also be made to the Serbian Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection or another competent supervisory authority.
