Information We Collect
Information you provide voluntarily. When you contact us or submit an entity for consideration, we may receive your name, email address, professional affiliation, and the content of your communication.
Technical data collected automatically. Our hosting infrastructure may log: IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and anonymised usage analytics for performance and security purposes.
Cookies. We use cookies for essential functionality and performance only. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data only where a valid legal basis exists: legitimate interests (responding to enquiries, operating the website), consent (non-essential cookies or communications, withdrawable at any time), or legal obligation (compliance with applicable law). We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Your Rights by Jurisdiction
Depending on your location, you hold specific rights under applicable law. Belohor honours all of the following without requiring you to identify your jurisdiction.
Right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data. Right to object to processing. Right to withdraw consent at any time. Right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority. Cross-border transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.
Right to access and correct personal information we hold. Right to withdraw consent for non-essential processing. Right to be informed of any breach posing a real risk of significant harm.
Right to confirm processing, access your data, correct inaccurate data, anonymise or delete unnecessary data, obtain information about third parties with whom data is shared, and revoke consent. Requests: contact@belohor.com
Right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Belohor does not sell or share personal information. Right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise any right, contact contact@belohor.com. We respond within 30 days, at no charge unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
Data Retention
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary. Correspondence and enquiry data is retained for a maximum of 24 months from the date of last contact. Anonymised analytics data may be retained longer as it does not constitute personal data.
Third-Party Services and Data Transfers
We rely on third-party providers for hosting and analytics. These providers act as data processors under our instruction only. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, UK, Canada, or Brazil, we implement Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share personal information with third parties for commercial or marketing purposes.
Security
We implement technical and administrative safeguards including encrypted communications (TLS) and restricted access controls. In the event of a breach posing risk of harm, we will notify relevant authorities and affected parties as required by law.
