Privacy Policy

Welcome to alytvynenko.net (the "Website"), operated by Andrii Lytvynenko ("I", "me", or "my"). I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect information when you visit my Website.

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

2. Information I Collect

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

The information collected automatically depends on whether you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner.

Always (regardless of consent):

• Server Logs: Standard server logs (including public IP addresses, browser information, time of request, and HTTP response codes) are processed by GitHub, the hosting provider, for the security and technical functioning of the Website. I do not have direct access to these logs.

Only after you accept analytics cookies (via Google Analytics 4):

• Device Information: Browser type, operating system, device type, screen resolution
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, click patterns, scroll depth
• Technical Data: Referring URL, date and time of visit (GA4 does not store full IP addresses)
• Location Data: General geographic location (country/region level only), derived from IP by Google

2.2 Information You Provide

This Website does not have contact forms or user registration. If you contact me via email or other means listed on the Website, I may collect:

• Your name and email address
• Any other information you choose to provide in your message

3. Analytics Services

I use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with my Website. Analytics scripts are only loaded after you accept analytics cookies via the consent banner. If you reject, no analytics scripts are loaded and no analytics cookies are set.

When enabled, Google Analytics 4 (a web analytics service provided by Google LLC) uses cookies to analyze your use of the Website.

Google may transfer this data to servers located in the United States. To ensure the protection of your personal data during these cross-border transfers, Google relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR, I process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): For loading Google Analytics and the resulting analytics cookies. No analytics processing occurs until you opt in via the cookie banner, and you can withdraw consent at any time.
• Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): When you contact me regarding potential B2B collaboration or services, processing is necessary for taking steps prior to entering a contract.
• Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): For the security and technical functioning of the Website (e.g., server logs processed by GitHub as the hosting provider) and for handling general inquiries from B2B contacts. I have conducted a balancing test to ensure my interests do not override your rights.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly the United States (e.g., through Google Analytics). When such transfers occur, I ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your European users' data:

• EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework certification (e.g., Google LLC)
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission

9. Data Retention

I retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

• Analytics Data: Up to 26 months (Google Analytics default retention)
