This policy explains how aihowto.si (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal data when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us. We process personal data in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national law.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is the operator of aihowto.si. You can reach us by email at [email protected].
2. What data we collect and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Technical data (IP address, browser, device, pages requested) | Delivering and securing the website, preventing abuse | Legitimate interests (6(1)(f)) |
| Analytics data (only with consent) | Understanding which guides are useful | Consent (6(1)(a)) |
| Email address (and name, if given) for the newsletter | Sending the newsletter | Consent (6(1)(a)) |
| Contact form data (name, email, message) | Replying to your enquiry | Legitimate interests (6(1)(f)) or steps before a contract (6(1)(b)) |
| Advertising / affiliate cookies (only with consent) | Showing ads and tracking affiliate referrals | Consent (6(1)(a)) |
3. Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies to make the site work. Analytics, advertising and affiliate cookies are only set if you agree through our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
4. Who we share data with
We use trusted service providers (processors) who act on our instructions, such as:
- Hosting: our web hosting provider
- Content delivery and security: Cloudflare
- Newsletter: our email newsletter provider (once the newsletter launches)
- Analytics: an analytics provider, only with consent
- Advertising and affiliate networks, only with consent
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as an adequacy decision (including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or Standard Contractual Clauses. We never sell your personal data.
5. How long we keep data
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe
- Contact messages: as long as needed to handle your enquiry, then up to 12 months
- Server logs: for a limited period, as set by our hosting provider
6. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your data, and the right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier processing. To use these rights, email us at the address above. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority. In Slovenia, that is the Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec).
7. Affiliate links and sponsored content
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content and placements are always clearly labelled.
8. Children
Our newsletter is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
