Privacy Policy

Introduction

This website, available at https://galyamin.com, is operated by Dmitry Galyamin Nikolaev. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be collected through the website, how it is used, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on Personal Data Protection (LOPDGDD).

1. Data Controller

• Data Controller: Dmitry Galyamin Nikolaev
• Email: dmitry@galyamin.com
• Phone: +34 628 48 23 52

2. Personal Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may process:

• Contact form data: name, email address, the topic you select and the content of your message
• Technical data generated when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser and device information, kept in the hosting provider's logs
• Anti-spam signals from the contact form, such as submission timing and a hidden honeypot field
• Your cookie consent choice
• Analytics data, only if you accept analytics cookies: pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, referring website and interactions with the site

3. Purposes of Processing

• To receive and answer enquiries sent through the contact form
• To protect the website against spam, abuse and fraudulent submissions
• To keep the website secure, available and working correctly
• To understand, in aggregate, how the website is used and improve it (analytics, only with your consent)
• To comply with legal obligations where applicable

4. Legal Bases

• Your consent, for analytics cookies; you can withdraw it at any time
• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or legitimate interest in answering business enquiries, for the contact form
• Legitimate interest in operating, securing and defending the website, for technical logs and anti-spam measures
• Compliance with legal obligations

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you first visit the website, a banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.

• galyamin_cookie_consent (essential, first-party): stores your choice in a cookie and in your browser's local storage. Duration: 180 days.
• _ga and _ga_<ID> (analytics, Google Analytics 4): only set if you accept analytics. They distinguish visits and sessions. Duration: up to 2 years.

The Google tag script is loaded on every page, but it runs in Google Consent Mode with analytics storage denied by default: until you accept analytics, no analytics cookies are stored and no measurement data is sent. If you reject or withdraw consent, measurement stops.

6. Links to Other Websites and Videos

The website links to external services such as LinkedIn, YouTube, ElectroSeek and ORCID. Video thumbnails are hosted on this website, so nothing is loaded from YouTube until you click a video. Once you follow a link, the privacy policy of that service applies.

7. Processors and Service Providers

• Vercel Inc. — website hosting and infrastructure
• Resend — delivery of contact-form emails
• Microsoft (Microsoft 365) — the mailbox where contact-form messages are received
• Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC — Google Analytics 4, only if you accept analytics cookies

8. International Transfers

Some of these providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. Such transfers rely on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Data Retention

• Contact-form messages: for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting business relationship, and afterwards for the periods required by law
• Technical logs: for the limited period kept by the hosting provider
• Analytics data: no longer than 14 months, according to the retention setting in Google Analytics
• Cookie consent choice: 180 days, after which you will be asked again

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request rectification of inaccurate data
• Request erasure of your data
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing carried out before

To exercise your rights, write to dmitry@galyamin.com. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, www.aepd.es).

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the website, service providers, legal requirements or data processing activities. The latest version is always published on this page.
