SIA Schtelbe Technologies, company registration number 40203529503, VAT number LV40203529503, is the controller of personal information processed for the purposes described in this notice. Address: Grostonas iela 19 - 1, Rīga, LV-1013, Latvia. Contact us at info@schtelbe.com or +371 223 46 114.
Sections 2-8 describe schtelbe.com and related business correspondence. Section 9 retains coverage of our named products and explains how product-specific notices fit with this notice. Processing performed for a customer under its instructions is governed by the relevant service and data-processing agreement; that customer is responsible for its own controller notices.
2. Information used by the website
- Enquiries: the contact form requests your full name and email address, and an optional message. We receive the details you choose to send by email or other business correspondence too. Formspree processes form submissions and may receive technical information such as the submitting device's IP address, browser, submission time and referring page.
- Website delivery and security: requests to the website expose technical information to the hosting service, such as IP address, requested page, request time, browser and referring page. This information can appear in access and security logs.
- Consent choices: a first-party
cc_cookiecookie stores your choice about optional analytics, including its version and time. See the Cookie Policy. - Embedded map: the contact page embeds Google Maps. When the map loads, your browser connects to Google and sends technical information such as your IP address, browser details and referring page. Google may process information and cookies under its own privacy policy.
- Optional analytics: if you accept analytics, Google Tag Manager loads Google Analytics. It can process online identifiers, pages visited, interactions, browser/device details and approximate location derived from network information. The website does not intentionally send enquiry text, names, email addresses or calculator salary inputs to Analytics.
The meeting cost calculator performs its calculations in your browser. There is no website account, public upload feature, subscription checkout or newsletter signup. The enquiry form is not a marketing-email opt-in. Please do not include health information, identity documents, passwords or other sensitive or confidential material in a general enquiry.
3. Purposes and legal bases
| Purpose | Legal basis under the GDPR |
|---|---|
| Answer your enquiry and discuss a project you request | Steps at your request before a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) where you are the prospective contracting person; otherwise our legitimate interest in communicating with business contacts and responding to requests (Article 6(1)(f)). |
| Deliver the website, prevent abuse and investigate technical or security problems | Our legitimate interest in operating a reliable and secure business website (Article 6(1)(f)). |
| Remember and apply your cookie choices | Our legitimate interest in respecting and demonstrating your choices (Article 6(1)(f)); the preference cookie is necessary to provide that choice. |
| Display our location through the embedded map | Our legitimate interest in showing our location to prospective business customers (Article 6(1)(f)). Google processes map requests under its own privacy terms. |
| Measure website use with Google Analytics | Your optional consent (Article 6(1)(a)). Analytics is off unless you accept it. |
| Keep records required by law and handle legal claims | Applicable legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)) or our legitimate interest in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (Article 6(1)(f)), depending on the record and purpose. |
You choose whether to contact us. Name and email are required to send the website form so we can identify and reply to the enquiry; you can also email us directly. Acknowledging this notice does not give consent to unrelated processing. The website does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
4. Recipients and international processing
Information is available to people handling the enquiry or operating the website for Schtelbe Technologies, and to providers of website hosting, email, security and form delivery as needed for those tasks. Formspree, Inc. receives contact-form submissions. Google receives optional analytics information when you allow analytics, and map connection information when the embedded Google Maps view loads. Information may also be disclosed to professional advisers or public authorities where necessary for legal obligations or claims.
Provider processing can take place outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Formspree describes U.S. infrastructure in its privacy policy and states in its security information that it relies on Standard Contractual Clauses as a data processor. Google describes adequacy decisions and Standard Contractual Clauses in its data-transfer information. These are the providers' published statements, not a claim that all processing stays in Latvia. Contact us to request information about the safeguards applicable to your information and a copy where available.
5. Retention and security
Retention depends on the purpose and record. For enquiry correspondence, the criteria are whether the enquiry and requested follow-up are complete, whether it develops into an ongoing project or relationship, and whether the correspondence is needed for a legal obligation or an existing or reasonably anticipated claim. Contractual and accounting records may need to be retained for the applicable statutory period. Information should be deleted or anonymised when those reasons no longer apply.
The consent preference lasts 182 days unless you clear it earlier. Analytics cookie lifetimes are described in the Cookie Policy; cookie expiry and the provider's retention of information already received are different. Contact us for retention information about a particular record or a deletion request.
We must use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the processing risk. No website, email system or storage service can promise absolute security. Report a privacy or security concern to info@schtelbe.com.
6. Analytics and communication choices
You can accept, reject or withdraw optional analytics through Cookie settings. Refusing analytics does not prevent browsing or submitting an enquiry. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are blocked until analytics is accepted. A Global Privacy Control signal keeps optional analytics off, even if a previous choice allowed it. Advertising consent remains denied.
Withdrawal prevents further optional loading and removes known accessible first-party Google analytics cookies. It does not undo lawful processing before withdrawal or automatically erase information already held by a provider. You can request deletion separately. The website's cookie control cannot clear cookies on a different provider's domain.
Replying to your enquiry does not require you to subscribe to promotional emails. We do not treat a form submission or privacy acknowledgement as permission to add you to a marketing list.
7. Your data-protection rights
Subject to the GDPR's conditions, you can request access, correction, erasure, restriction and portability of your personal information. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, and can object to direct marketing at any time. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
Send a request to info@schtelbe.com or our postal address above. We may need proportionate information to confirm your identity. We will respond without undue delay, normally within one month; if a permitted extension is necessary, we will tell you within that month.
You may complain to Latvia's Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija), pasts@dvi.gov.lv, or the supervisory authority in the EEA country where you live or work or where an alleged infringement occurred. Other mandatory privacy rights may apply depending on your location.
8. Children and updates
This business-services website is not directed at children under 13 and does not provide a children's signup service. If you believe a child has supplied personal information through it, contact us so that we can assess and address it. Product age requirements and parental controls, where applicable, must be read in the relevant product information.
We may update this notice to reflect changes in processing or law. The date above identifies the version. Material changes affecting consent-based processing require appropriate information and, where necessary, a new choice.
