For the purposes of the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the primary data controller is Skala Dohodov, with registered operating premises at Fenchurch Street 135, LS1 5AT Leeds, United Kingdom.

3. Legal Bases for Processing
Under United Kingdom data protection law, we only process personal information where a valid legal basis exists:
- Contractual Performance: Processing necessary to provide service access, deliver analytical output, and maintain system account operations.
- Legitimate Interests: Necessary for fraud prevention, server security auditing, platform optimization, market research, and safeguarding our intellectual property.

4. How Information is Collected
We collect information through direct user interactions (such as emailing our support team or initiating correspondence) and automated tracking systems (such as technical log files and essential cookies). We do not purchase unverified private databases from third-party data brokers.
5. Sharing and Disclosure of Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited personal data with third parties under controlled conditions:
- Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting facilities, cyber-defense security networks, and server analytics partners bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
- Auditors & Legal Advisors: Professional legal, accounting, and security counsel operating under statutory secrecy obligations.
- Regulators & Law Enforcement: Competent public authorities when strictly compelled by subpoena, court order, or national security regulation.
6. International Data Transfers
Where processing requires transferring personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we implement robust safeguard mechanisms. These include the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (IDTA), standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, and rigorous encryption protocols to guarantee equivalent levels of protection.
7. Data Retention & Security Architecture
We preserve personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was gathered, including satisfying legal, reporting, or regulatory accounting requirements. Once retention periods expire, data is permanently erased or anonymized.
Our security posture includes TLS 1.3 protocol encryption in transit, AES-256 resting data encryption, role-based access restrictions, and periodic penetration testing to thwart unauthorized access or inadvertent loss.

- Right to Restriction: Request suspension of data processing during verification disputes.
- Right to Data Portability: Obtain your digital personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to Object: Oppose processing based upon legitimate interest claims or direct marketing purposes.
