Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Merry Technology ("we", "us") handles personal information collected through this website, merry.technology. We keep things simple: we only collect the information you choose to send us, and we only use it to respond to you.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at [email protected].

Data We Collect

The only personal data we collect is what you submit voluntarily through our contact form:

• Name
• Email address
• Subject and message — the content of your inquiry

We do not collect any personal data from visitors who simply browse the site.

How We Use Your Data

We use the information you submit solely to respond to your inquiry. When you submit the contact form, your message is transmitted through a serverless function hosted on DigitalOcean, which delivers it to our email inbox. Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

• Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise: Our contact form is protected by reCAPTCHA to prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect device and interaction data, which is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
• DigitalOcean: This website and the serverless function that processes contact form submissions are hosted by DigitalOcean in the EU (Frankfurt region).

Cookies and Tracking

We do not use analytics services or set tracking cookies of our own. Google reCAPTCHA may set its own cookies as part of its spam-protection functionality; these are governed by Google's privacy policy linked above.

Legal Basis and Your Rights

We process the data you submit on the basis of your consent (you choose to send it to us) and our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries about our services. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict the processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] and we will respond promptly.

Data Retention

We keep contact form submissions only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any follow-up correspondence, after which they are deleted.
