Squarespace and service providers

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may process technical and personal information necessary to provide website hosting, security, analytics, contact forms and email subscription features.

Personal information may also be processed by other service providers where necessary to operate the website or communicate with visitors. These providers process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable data-protection requirements.

Because some service providers operate internationally, personal information may be processed outside Slovakia or the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers of personal information.

More information about the cookies used by Squarespace is available through Squarespace’s cookie documentation.

• General enquiries are normally retained for no longer than two years after the last communication, unless a longer period is necessary for legal or administrative reasons.
• Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or request its deletion.
• Information connected with a purchase may be retained for the period required by tax, accounting or other applicable laws.
