This Privacy Policy explains how Platanor Technologies, operating as Platanor ("we", "us", or "our"), collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit or interact with the Platanor websites:
Platanor currently operates as a business/project brand and not yet as a registered legal entity. Until incorporation, the operator of the Platanor websites acts as the data controller.
Data controller contact: info@platanor.com
A postal address for the controller is available on request by email.
If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us at the email above.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing includes:
Pre-contractual steps
When you contact us regarding potential services or projects.
Examples:
- submitting a project inquiry
- requesting a consultation
- discussing cooperation
Legitimate interests
For operating and securing the website, managing business communications, and understanding how the website is used in aggregate.
Examples:
- server logs
- abuse prevention
- responding to general inquiries
- maintaining website security
- privacy-oriented website analytics (see Section 6)
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object to processing as described in Section 12.
Consent
Where legally required for optional technologies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function.
Legal obligations
Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies only where necessary for website functionality.
We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate website usage (for example, pages visited and general traffic patterns). Vercel Web Analytics is designed to operate without advertising cookies and without cross-site tracking. It does not use third-party advertising cookies on our site.
Because we do not use non-essential advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, we do not currently display a cookie consent banner. If we add analytics or marketing technologies that require consent under applicable law, we will update this policy and provide appropriate controls before those technologies are activated.
Analytics may process information such as:
- pages visited
- approximate geographic region (derived from connection data)
- browser and device type (as reported by your browser)
- referral source
For more information, see Vercel's privacy documentation.
7. Contact Forms and Communications
If you submit a project inquiry or use our contact forms:
- your submission is sent through our email delivery provider (Resend) to our business email inbox
- we use the submitted information solely to respond and manage business communications
- we do not publicly display submitted information
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless necessary.
Providing personal data is voluntary, but without certain information we may be unable to respond to your inquiry or discuss a potential engagement.
8. Business Contact Information from Public Sources
In some cases, we may process publicly available business contact information obtained from professional or public sources, such as company websites or professional networking platforms, where relevant for legitimate business communications.
This may include:
- name
- business email address
- company name
- professional role or title
- publicly available business contact details
We process such information only where permitted by applicable law and for legitimate business purposes.
9. Hosting and Service Providers
We use the following categories of service providers that may process personal data on our behalf:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Vercel | Website hosting, infrastructure, and Web Analytics |
| Resend | Delivering contact and project inquiry emails to our inbox |
These providers process data only as necessary to provide their services. Additional providers (for example DNS or email mailbox hosting) may process limited technical or communication data in support of the services above.
10. International Data Transfers
Some service providers we use may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States (for example Vercel and Resend).
Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where applicable
- contractual data protection terms offered by the provider
- reliance on other lawful transfer mechanisms under applicable law
You can review relevant provider terms via their privacy and data processing documentation.
11. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
- responding to inquiries
- managing business communications
- evaluating potential engagements
- fulfilling contractual obligations
- maintaining business records
- complying with legal obligations
- resolving disputes
- protecting our legitimate business interests
Typical periods:
- Inquiry and correspondence: up to 24 months after the last meaningful communication, unless a longer period is required by law or for an ongoing engagement
- Technical logs: only as long as operationally necessary
- Analytics: according to Vercel's configuration and retention settings
We may retain data longer where necessary for legal, security, or dispute-resolution purposes.
12. Your Rights
If GDPR or similar privacy laws apply, you may have the right to:
- access your personal data
- request correction of inaccurate data
- request deletion of your data
- restrict processing
- object to certain processing based on legitimate interests

If you are in the EEA, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. EU authorities are listed by the European Data Protection Board.
13. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including:
- HTTPS encryption
- secure hosting infrastructure
- access controls
- limited access to business communications
- monitoring for technical abuse or security issues
No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
