Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your data

Nyro is operated by Leons Dringis, working alone. For anything to do with this policy or your data, write to contactme@nyro.lv — the same address the contact form sends to.

What is collected, and why

The contact form asks for your email address and a message, with your name and organisation optional. Submitting it is the only action on this site that sends anything anywhere — there is no account to create and nothing else to fill in.

The message tells you what you need, and the email address is how the reply reaches you. Nothing is collected beyond what the form itself asks for.

Your IP address, and why it is the one exception

Sending a form also reveals the IP address it came from, which is used briefly to stop abuse: a handful of messages from the same address in an hour is normal, many more is not, so the address is checked against a short in-memory count and never written to disk. It is also included in the notification email itself, so a flood of spam is traceable back to where it came from.

That is the only automatic collection this site does. There is no separate tracking of your IP beyond the message it arrived with.

The legal basis

Your message is processed with your consent — you gave it by writing and pressing send. The brief use of your IP address to prevent abuse rests on legitimate interest: keeping a form usable for everyone by keeping it unusable for spam.

Who else sees it

Nobody but Leons Dringis reads your message. It reaches him by email, sent through Migadu, a Swiss email provider — the only outside party involved. Switzerland is recognised by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of data protection, so no separate safeguard is needed for that transfer.

Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers, or handed to any other company.

How long it is kept

Messages stay in that mailbox indefinitely, the same way any email you send someone does, unless you ask for yours to be deleted — write to contactme@nyro.lv and it will be removed. There is no separate database, spreadsheet or mailing list your message ends up in.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no cookies and loads no third-party trackers — no Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, nothing from any other company.

It does keep a simple daily count of how many people view each page and click certain links, such as the one to Telpa, so it is possible to tell whether anyone reads this site at all. That count is built without a cookie or anything saved in your browser: it combines your IP address and browser type with a random value the server generates fresh every day and never saves anywhere, so the same visit today and a visit tomorrow cannot be linked to each other, and nobody — including us — can work backwards from a number to a person.

Only the finished daily totals are kept — for example, "41 people viewed the home page on 1 September" — never anything more detailed, and never your IP address itself. Totals older than 90 days are deleted automatically. Because nothing here identifies or tracks an individual, this runs on legitimate interest rather than consent, which is also why there is no cookie banner on this site.

Your rights

Under GDPR you can ask, at any time and for free, to:

• see what was kept about you
• have it corrected if it is wrong
• have it deleted
• object to how it is used
• receive a copy in a portable format

If something feels wrong

Write to contactme@nyro.lv first — most things are a one-line fix. You may also complain to Latvia's supervisory authority, the Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija), at www.dvi.gov.lv.

Changes to this page

If how the contact form works ever changes, this page is updated to say so, with a new date at the top. It is edited the same way as every other page on this site — nothing about it moves without it being written down here first.
