Privacy Policy.

1. What data may be processed

When you use the contact form, Helmark may receive your name, work email address, company, selected area of interest and the content of your message. Technical information necessary to deliver the form may also be processed by the form provider.

2. Why the data is processed

Personal data is processed to respond to enquiries, discuss training or trainer applications, handle partnership or case-study requests, prepare information requested by you, and maintain necessary business correspondence.

3. Legal bases under GDPR

Depending on the nature of the enquiry, processing may be based on steps taken at your request before entering into a contract or performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), Helmark's legitimate interest in handling correspondence and operating its activities (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or a legal obligation where record retention is required (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).

The checkbox in the contact form confirms that you have read this Privacy Policy. It is not intended to create unnecessary consent where another GDPR legal basis applies.

4. Form provider — Web3Forms

The contact form is submitted through Web3Forms. Information entered in the form is transmitted to that service so that the message can be delivered. Web3Forms and its infrastructure providers may process technical and form data according to their own privacy and security terms.

5. Recipients

Personal data may be made available only to service providers necessary to operate the website, deliver form messages, host the site, maintain IT systems or provide professional services where required. Data is not sold to advertisers.

6. International transfers

Some technical service providers may operate outside the European Economic Area. Where this results in an international transfer of personal data, the provider is expected to use a lawful transfer mechanism required by applicable data-protection law.

7. Retention

Enquiry data is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the enquiry, continue the relevant business relationship, establish or defend legal claims, or meet applicable legal and accounting requirements. Data that is no longer needed should be deleted or anonymised.

8. Your rights

Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability where applicable, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.

9. Data controller

The controller of personal data submitted through helmark.org is the owner of the Helmark project.

10. Is providing data mandatory?

Providing contact-form data is voluntary, but the required fields are necessary for Helmark to receive and answer the message.

11. Automated decision-making

Contact-form data is not used by Helmark for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

12. Cookies and local storage

At the time of publication, helmark.org does not intentionally use advertising or behavioural-profiling cookies. The site may use essential browser storage to remember that the cookie notice has been acknowledged. See the Cookie Policy for details.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, service providers or legal requirements change. The current version is published on this page.
