Privacy Policy
This page explains what Global Technics OÜ does with personal data on gltechnics.com. It describes only what actually happens on this website — nothing is listed here “just in case”.
What we collect, and when
When you send us an enquiry
The enquiry form asks for the following. Only your name, email address and message are required; the rest is optional and helps us answer faster.
Name
Company
Email address
Phone number
Subject
Your message, including anything you choose to write in it
The page the enquiry was sent from, so that we know which product you are asking about
If you use the savings calculator and then choose to send the result, the figures you entered are added to your message. Until you do that, they stay in your browser.
This website has no online chat, no newsletter, no comments, no user accounts and no registration. We never ask for a personal identification code or a postal address through this website.
When you simply browse the site
Our hosting provider records technical request logs, as any web server does. They keep the site available and let us investigate errors and abuse.
IP address
Browser and device type
Date and time of the request
The page requested and the response code
Analytics — only if you agree
Google Analytics 4 measures how the site is used: pages viewed, approximate region, device type, and events such as sending an enquiry or downloading a datasheet. It does not start until you accept analytics cookies, and refusing costs you nothing — the site works exactly the same.
Cookies
We use no advertising or profiling cookies at all.
Your cookie choice — stored in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie, and kept until you clear this site’s data
Google Analytics cookies — set only after you accept them, and they expire after 13 months
You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser; the banner will then ask again.
How we use your data
To answer your enquiry and prepare a quotation or a technical assessment
To keep the correspondence, order and delivery records that follow from it
To protect the form against automated abuse — it counts submissions per hashed IP address and uses a one-time token
To understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful — only if you accepted analytics
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
Who else processes your data
We work with a small number of service providers, each acting under a data processing agreement and each with a specific job.
Vercel — hosting of this website and the technical request logs described above
Upstash — short-lived technical state of the enquiry form: a counter per hashed IP address and a one-time token. If your enquiry cannot be delivered by email, the enquiry itself is stored there for 14 days, so that we can still reach you instead of losing it silently
Zone Media OÜ — the email service that carries your enquiry to us and our reply to you
Google Ireland Limited — analytics, only after you accept analytics cookies
We do not sell personal data, do not pass it to advertisers, data brokers or “business partners”, and do not hand it to other companies for their own purposes. We disclose data only where the law obliges us to.
Legal basis for processing
Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request — handling quotation requests, engineering assessments, orders, delivery and warranty service.
Legitimate interest — responding to enquiries, protecting the website against fraud and abuse, and improving our products and service.
Consent — analytics cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before it.
Legal obligation — accounting, tax and export-control records required by Estonian and EU law.
How long we keep it
Quotation requests and business correspondence — 3 years after the last contact.
An enquiry that could not be delivered by email — 14 days, after which it is deleted automatically.
Accounting documents (invoices, contracts) — 7 years, as required by the Estonian Accounting Act.
Website analytics data — no longer than 14 months, the maximum Google Analytics allows for event data.
Your cookie choice — stays in your browser until you clear this site’s data; it never reaches our servers.
Engineering files and drawings you send us — 3 years after the project closes, unless a separate NDA sets a different term.
Technical request logs — kept briefly by our hosting provider for security and diagnostics.
Your rights
Right of access — you have the right to request copies of your personal data.
Right to rectification — you have the right to request corrections to any inaccurate data or the completion of any incomplete data.
Right to erasure — under certain conditions, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.
Right to restrict processing — under certain conditions, you have the right to request restrictions on the processing of your personal data.
Right to object to processing — under certain conditions, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data.
Right to data portability — under certain conditions, you have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you.
Data security
The whole site is served over HTTPS. The enquiry form is protected against automated submissions, and the enquiry reaches us as email over an encrypted connection. Access to enquiries is limited to the people who handle them.
Children
This website addresses businesses. We do not knowingly collect data from children and have no reason to expect enquiries from them.
Links to other websites
Articles on this site link to external sources, and product videos are served from media.gltechnics.com. Once you follow an external link, the privacy policy of that website applies, not ours.
Data controller
The controller of your personal data is Global Technics OÜ, registry code 12875353, Narva mnt. 5, 10117 Tallinn, Estonia. For any privacy or GDPR request — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection or portability — write to sales@gltechnics.com with “GDPR request” in the subject line. We reply within one month.
Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe we process your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon), Tatari 39, 10134 Tallinn, info@aki.ee, +372 627 4135, or with the supervisory authority of your country of residence.
International transfers
Our analytics provider, and the provider that holds the short-lived state of the enquiry form, may process data outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or on an adequacy decision.
