Privacy policy
Privacy is important to Tovy. It is Tovy's policy to respect user privacy regarding any information collected across the website. This policy is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
01Data controller
Tovy acts as the data controller for the personal information collected through this website. For any questions, contact can be established via info@tovy.eu.
02Information collection and usage
Tovy only asks for personal information when it is truly required to provide a service. The organization collects data by fair and lawful means, with the user's knowledge and explicit consent. The legal bases for processing are primarily consent, contractual necessity, and legitimate interest.
- Project Intake Form: Tovy collects names, contact details (email, phone), company information, and project details. This data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore and is used to evaluate and respond to project requests. The legal basis is the intention to enter into a contract.
- Server Logs: The web server, hosted by Firebase Hosting, automatically logs requests, which may include IP addresses, browser types, and visited pages. This data is used for security monitoring and diagnostics. The legal basis is the legitimate interest of Tovy in maintaining a secure and functional website.
- Cookies: Tovy uses essential cookies to manage consent preferences regarding tracking. The company does not use non-essential or tracking cookies (such as those for Google Analytics) without explicit prior consent via the cookie banner.
03Data residency and transfers
To protect data, Tovy has configured the primary database (Cloud Firestore) to be located within the European Union (regio 'eur3'). While the organization prioritizes EU-based services, some subprocessors (such as Google) may transfer data internationally. All such transfers are conducted under legally compliant mechanisms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Tovy retains collected information only for as long as necessary to provide services or as required by law. The company protects stored data within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft, and unauthorized access.
