Last updated: 15 June 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit alarvork.com (the “Website”) or contact us. We are committed to processing your data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Estonian data protection law.

3. Why we use your data and our legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6) |

4. Third-party services and processors
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate the Website. Some are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA); where that is the case, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and/or the providers’ certification under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties other than the processors above and where required by law.
5. Cookies
When you first visit the Website you are shown a cookie banner. We use:
- Essential / functional cookies — necessary for the site to work and to remember your cookie choice. These do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — set only after you click “Accept”. If you decline, no analytics cookies are placed and Google Analytics is not loaded.
- When you book a call via Calendly (a third-party site), Calendly may set its own cookies under Calendly’s privacy policy.
You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site (which will re-trigger the banner) or by adjusting your browser settings.
6. How long we keep your data
- Contact and booking correspondence: kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting business relationship, and thereafter only as required to meet legal obligations (e.g. Estonian accounting law), then deleted.
- Server logs: retained for a short period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymised.
- Analytics data: retained according to our Google Analytics configuration (a limited retention period) and held in aggregated/pseudonymised form.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- request rectification of inaccurate data;
- request erasure (“right to be forgotten”);
- request restriction of processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- data portability (receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format);
- withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent (this does not affect processing already carried out).
To exercise any of these rights, email alar@alarvork.com. We will respond within one month.

8. How we protect your data
We use reputable service providers, HTTPS encryption for the Website, and reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
