Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, stored, and protected on gushchina.tech (the “Site”).

It is written for an international professional audience and is designed to reflect core transparency principles under the EU/UK GDPR and Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), without limiting any rights you may have under applicable law.

This Site is operated by Evgeniia A. Gūshchina as an individual professional.

1. What personal data is collected

This Site collects only limited personal data.

Information you provide directly

You may provide personal data when you:

• submit a contact form;
• request a resource, template, or notification;
• join a waitlist;
• contact me by email or through an external platform.

This may include:

• your name;
• email address;
• message content;
• company name, role, or professional context, if you choose to provide it;
• any other information you voluntarily include in your message.

Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or unnecessary personal data through the Site unless it is clearly needed for your enquiry.

Technical information

The Site may process limited technical information necessary for security, diagnostics, and operation of the website, such as:

• IP address;
• browser type;
• device information;
• approximate location derived from technical data;
• pages requested;
• date and time of access;
• basic server or hosting logs.

This information is processed mainly by the hosting provider and is not used by this Site for advertising, profiling, or behavioural tracking.

2. Cookies, analytics, and local storage

This Site does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party profiling technologies.

It does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tools.

The Site uses one localStorage value to remember the language you selected. This is used only to provide the language preference requested by you and is not used to identify or track you.

If this changes in the future — for example, if privacy-friendly analytics are added — this Privacy Policy will be updated before such tools are used.

3. How personal data is used

Personal data may be used for the following purposes:

To respond to your enquiry

If you contact me through the Site or by email, your data is used to read, assess, and respond to your message.

Where applicable, the legal basis may be steps taken at your request before entering into a possible project, role, collaboration, or professional engagement, and/or legitimate interests in handling professional correspondence.

To provide resources or notifications you requested

If you request a resource, template, update, or notification, your email address may be used to send you the relevant item or update.

Where applicable, the legal basis is your consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

To keep the Site secure and operational

Limited technical data may be processed to maintain website security, prevent abuse, diagnose technical issues, and ensure that the Site functions properly.

Where applicable, the legal basis is legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and reliable website.

To comply with legal, administrative, or professional obligations

Where necessary, personal data may be retained or used to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, manage disputes, or protect legal rights.

4. What this Site does not do

This Site does not:

• sell personal data;
• share personal data for cross-context behavioural advertising;
• use targeted advertising;
• use data brokers;
• build behavioural profiles of visitors;
• use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects;
• intentionally collect special categories of personal data;
• intentionally collect data from children.

5. Service providers

The Site may use third-party service providers to operate the website, process forms, manage correspondence, or deliver resources.

Current or planned providers may include:

Netlify

Netlify is used for hosting and may process technical data, server logs, and form submissions necessary to operate the Site.

Google Workspace / Gmail

Google Workspace / Gmail may be used for email hosting and correspondence management, including receiving and responding to enquiries.

Gumroad

Gumroad may be used in the future to provide paid or free digital resources, templates, or other materials. If you purchase or download a resource through Gumroad, Gumroad may process your payment, order, and account-related data under its own privacy policy.

When third-party providers are used, they process data according to their own technical, contractual, and legal obligations.

6. International transfers

Because this is an international website operated with third-party providers, your personal data may be processed outside your country of residence, including in the United States and other countries where the Site’s providers operate.

For visitors from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, transfers may rely on safeguards used by the relevant service providers, such as standard contractual clauses, adequacy mechanisms, or other lawful transfer mechanisms where applicable.

For visitors residing in Saudi Arabia, any data submitted through the Site may be processed outside the Kingdom where this is necessary to operate the Site, respond to your enquiry, or provide a resource or notification you requested.

You may contact me if you would like more information about the providers and safeguards relevant to your data.

7. Retention of personal data

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

As a general guideline:

• contact messages are usually kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is necessary for legal, administrative, tax, security, or dispute-resolution purposes;
• waitlist or subscription emails are kept until you unsubscribe, ask for deletion, or the relevant resource / notification list is discontinued;
• a minimal suppression record may be kept where necessary to ensure you are not contacted again after unsubscribing;
• technical logs are retained by the hosting provider for a limited period according to its own security and diagnostics practices;
• form submissions stored in the hosting or form-processing dashboard are reviewed and deleted periodically where technically available.

8. Your rights

Depending on your country of residence and applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal data.

These may include the right to:

• request access to your personal data;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• request deletion of your personal data;
• object to certain processing;
• restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request data portability where applicable;
• lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

For visitors residing in Saudi Arabia, these rights may include the rights available under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law, including the right to be informed about processing, access personal data, request correction, request destruction where applicable, and exercise other rights provided by law.

To exercise any privacy right, please contact:

e.gushchina@gushchina.tech

I may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

9. U.S. visitors

This Site does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

It does not use targeted advertising, data brokers, or profiling technologies.

If you are a U.S. resident and believe that a state privacy law gives you specific rights in relation to your personal data, you may contact me using the email above. Privacy requests will be handled in good faith and in line with applicable law.

10. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no website, email system, or online transmission method can be guaranteed to be fully secure. Please avoid submitting confidential or highly sensitive information through the Site unless necessary.

11. External links

The Site may contain links to external platforms, including LinkedIn, X / Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Gumroad, and other websites.

If you follow those links, the relevant platform may process your data under its own privacy policy.

This Site does not control the privacy practices of external platforms.

12. Children’s privacy

This Site is intended for a professional audience and is not directed to children.

The Site does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal data through the Site, please contact me so that the data can be deleted where appropriate.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the Site, service providers, legal requirements, or data processing practices.
