Privacy Policy
1. Privacy at a glance
This website is operated by Anna Gulbe. I take the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data may be collected when you visit this website or contact me, why it is processed, and what rights you have regarding your data.
Personal data means any information that can be used to identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address or IP address.
2. Responsible person
The person responsible for data processing on this website is:
Anna Gulbe
Email: gulbekosmetik@gmail.com
Website: byannagulbe.com
3. Hosting and Squarespace
This website is created and hosted using Squarespace.
When you visit the website, Squarespace may process technical information necessary to provide and secure the website. This can include information such as your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, date and time of access, and technical log information.
Squarespace may process data using infrastructure located outside the European Economic Area. Further information about Squarespace's processing of personal data can be found in Squarespace's privacy documentation.
4. Cookies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies that are technically necessary may be used to ensure that the website functions correctly. Non-essential cookies are restricted and are only used according to the choices you make through the cookie banner.
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies and manage your preferences through the cookie settings available on this website.
Under German law, storing or accessing information on a visitor's device generally requires consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the visitor.
5. Contact form
If you contact me using the contact form on this website, the information you provide - such as your name, email address and message - will be processed so that I can receive and respond to your enquiry.
The contact form is provided through Squarespace. Messages submitted through the form are delivered to my email account, which is provided by Google/Gmail.
Your information will not be used for unrelated marketing purposes simply because you contacted me.
Please do not send sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
6. Google / Gmail
I use Gmail to receive and respond to messages sent through the website.
When you contact me, information contained in your message may therefore be processed by Google in connection with providing the email service.
Further information about Google's handling of personal information can be found in Google's Privacy Policy.
7. Google Search Console
This website uses Google Search Console to understand how the website appears and performs in Google Search and to identify technical indexing issues.
Google Search Console is not the same as Google Analytics. I currently do not use Google Analytics on this website.
8. Instagram
This website may contain links to my Instagram profile.
If you click an Instagram link, you leave this website and are redirected to Instagram. From that point, the processing of your data is governed by Instagram/Meta's own privacy practices.
A simple external link does not itself embed Instagram content into this website.
9. How long information is kept
Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for as long as applicable legal obligations require.
For example, correspondence may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to and manage an enquiry.
10. Your data-protection rights
Under applicable data-protection law, you may have rights including the right to:
request information about personal data held about you;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of your data where applicable;
request restriction of processing;
object to certain processing;
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
request data portability where applicable; and
lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if the website changes or new services and technologies are added.
