Last updated: July 2026

1. Data Controller

Emīls Geršinksis - Ješinskis (EMILSVFX)
Location: Latvia
Email: emilsvfx@gmail.com

2. Data We Collect

When you use the contact form on this website, we collect the following personal data:

  • Name — to identify you and address you in our response
  • Email address — to reply to your inquiry
  • Phone number (optional) — if you choose to provide it for alternative contact
  • Message content — the details of your inquiry

3. Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and discussing potential collaboration. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by checking the consent checkbox on the contact form.

4. Third-Party Services

Contact form submissions are processed through Web3Forms, a third-party form handling service. Web3Forms receives the data you submit in order to deliver it to us via email. For more information, see the Web3Forms Privacy Policy.

This website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited). See the Vercel Privacy Policy.

Some pages contain embedded videos from third-party platforms. When a page with an embedded video loads, your browser connects to the respective platform and your IP address is transmitted to it:

  • YouTube — embedded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com); no cookies are set unless you play the video. See the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Vimeo — embedded with "Do Not Track" enabled (dnt=1), which disables Vimeo's session cookies and analytics. See the Vimeo Privacy Policy.
  • Facebook (Meta) — some project pages embed Facebook videos via Meta's video player, which may set cookies and collect usage data by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. See the Meta Privacy Policy.

Links to Instagram, TikTok, or other social platforms open on the respective platform and do not transmit any data while you browse this website.

5. Data Retention

We retain your contact form data only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for any follow-up communication. Data is typically deleted within 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer retention is required for an ongoing business relationship.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict processing — request limitation of how we use your data
  • Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at emilsvfx@gmail.com.

7. Cookies

This website itself does not use analytics services and does not set tracking, advertising, or profiling cookies. Web fonts are self-hosted, so no font requests are sent to Google.

Embedded third-party content may set cookies: Facebook (Meta) video embeds on some project pages may set cookies from Meta (see section 4). YouTube embeds use privacy-enhanced mode and Vimeo embeds use "Do Not Track" mode, so they do not set cookies while you merely view a page.

8. Supervisory Authority

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data State Inspectorate of Latvia (Datu valsts inspekcija):

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
