Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 26, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Nicole Brisova ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information you provide when using nicolebrisova.com (the "Website"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as implemented in Czech law, and applicable U.S. privacy regulations.

By using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Website.

2. Who We Are (Data Controller)

For the purposes of GDPR, the data controller is:

Nicole Brisova

Website: nicolebrisova.com

Email: hello@nicolebrisova.com

As the data controller, we are responsible for determining how and why your personal data is processed.

3. What Data We Collect

We collect only the following personal data, and only when you voluntarily provide it:

3.1 Contact Form Data

When you fill out a contact form on the Website, we collect:

Your name
Your email address
Any additional information you choose to include in your message

This data is collected solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not collect it automatically or through any passive tracking tied to your identity.

3.2 Technical Data

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, and page access times as part of standard server operations. We do not actively use this data for profiling or marketing, and we do not control its retention by our hosting provider. Please refer to your hosting provider's privacy documentation for more information.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Under GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where you have explicitly provided your information and agreed to be contacted.

We do not process your data for any purpose incompatible with the reason it was originally collected.

5. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data you provide exclusively to:

Respond to your inquiries or requests submitted via the contact form
Communicate with you in connection with our services

We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or any marketing activities without your explicit consent.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third-party companies, advertisers, or data brokers.

Your data may only be disclosed in limited circumstances:

If required by law, court order, or regulatory authority
To protect the legal rights or safety of Nicole Brisova or others

We use standard web hosting infrastructure to operate the Website. Our hosting provider may process technical log data as described in Section 3.2, but we do not share contact form submissions with them beyond what is technically necessary for delivery.

7. Data Retention

We retain contact form data only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter (typically no longer than 12 months), unless a longer period is required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

If you request deletion of your data, we will action this promptly, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.

8. International Data Transfers

This Website is operated from the Czech Republic and may be accessed by users in the United States and other countries. If you are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and contact us, your data may be processed within the EEA, where data protection laws are considered adequate under GDPR.

If any transfer of personal data outside the EEA is required in the future, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and will update this Policy accordingly.

9. Your Rights

9.1 Rights Under GDPR (EU/Czech Republic)

If you are located in the EU, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of access – to obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you
Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
Right to erasure – to request deletion of your data ('right to be forgotten')
Right to restriction – to request that we limit how we use your data
Right to data portability – to receive your data in a machine-readable format
Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests
Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@nicolebrisova.com. We will respond within 30 days as required by GDPR.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. In the Czech Republic, this is the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů – ÚOOÚ): www.uoou.cz.

9.2 Rights Under U.S. Law

If you are a resident of a U.S. state with applicable privacy legislation (such as the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have additional rights, including the right to know what personal data we collect and to request its deletion. Given that we collect only limited contact form data and do not sell or share data commercially, most of these rights are satisfied by our default practices.

To make any U.S. privacy-related request, contact us at hello@nicolebrisova.com.

10. Cookies

We do not currently use tracking cookies or analytics scripts on this Website. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement a compliant cookie consent mechanism before doing so.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children's Privacy

This Website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data through our Website, please contact us at hello@nicolebrisova.com and we will delete it promptly.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
