Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how DataSkye Ltd collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit dataskye.com or submit information through our contact form. We are committed to handling your data transparently and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who we are

DataSkye Ltd is a data and analytics consultancy registered in Malta. For questions about this privacy policy or to exercise any of your rights, contact us at info@dataskye.com.

What personal data we collect

Contact form submissions

When you submit our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your company (optional)
• The content of your message

Server logs

Our hosting provider automatically records technical information about visits to our site:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time of visit
• Referring website

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. It records aggregate statistics such as page views, referrers, and approximate country of origin, none of which can be used to identify individual visitors.

Why we collect this data

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interest: To respond to your inquiries and operate our website. This includes reading your contact form submissions, replying to them, and maintaining security through server logs.
• Consent: If you explicitly consent to further communication beyond responding to your initial inquiry.
• Legal obligation: Where required by law, such as tax record-keeping or responding to lawful requests from authorities.

How long we keep your data

• Contact form submissions: 24 months from date of submission, then deleted. Exception: if we enter into a business relationship with you, we retain relevant correspondence for the duration of the engagement plus applicable legal retention periods (typically 7 years for tax and contract records).
• Server logs: 90 days, then deleted.
• Analytics data: Aggregate data is retained indefinitely for trend analysis. This data does not identify individuals.

Who we share your data with

We use the following third-party services to operate our website. These are data processors acting on our instructions:

• Vercel Inc. (USA, GDPR-compliant): Hosting provider. Processes server logs and page requests.
• Resend.com Inc. (USA, GDPR-compliant): Email delivery service. Processes contact form submissions at the point of delivery to our inbox.
• Microsoft Corporation (USA, GDPR-compliant): Email receipt and storage via Microsoft Exchange. Processes contact form emails once they reach our info@dataskye.com inbox.
• Plausible Insights OÜ (Estonia, EU): Analytics. Processes anonymised visit data only, no personal identifiers.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not transfer it outside the processors listed above.

International data transfers

Some of our processors are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this is the case, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or equivalent safeguards, to ensure your data is protected to GDPR standards.

AI-assisted processing

We may use AI-assisted tools (such as large language model assistants) to help draft responses to your inquiries, summarise correspondence, or categorise submissions for internal workflow purposes. Where this happens:

• Your submission content may be processed by the AI tool for the specific purpose of handling your inquiry
• We do not permit these tools to retain your data for training purposes
• We use tools from providers with enterprise-grade data handling commitments and GDPR-compliant processing terms
• You can request that your submission is not processed by AI tools by stating this preference in your message

This practice reflects current industry standard for professional correspondence. If you have questions about how AI-assisted processing applies to your inquiry, contact us at info@dataskye.com.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights over your personal data:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right of rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right of erasure: Ask us to delete your personal data, subject to legal obligations requiring retention.
• Right of restriction: Ask us to limit the processing of your data.
• Right of portability: Receive a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right of objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
• Right to lodge a complaint: Contact the Office of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner of Malta (idpc.org.mt) or your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@dataskye.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Cookies

Our website uses only strictly necessary cookies required for basic site function, such as session-level identifiers to prevent spam on the contact form. These cookies do not track you across other sites and do not require your consent under GDPR.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or cookies from social media platforms.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This includes encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls on our systems, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, but we aim to minimise risk.

Children’s data

Our website and services are intended for business users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be communicated via an update to the site. Your continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance.
