Privacy policy
This policy describes what happens to personal information in connection with threat-guard.site. It is short because very little happens: the site has no forms, sets no cookies, and runs no tracking of any kind.
1. Who is responsible
The site is published and operated by:
CC Imports s.r.o.
Nademlejnská 600/1, Hloubětín, 198 00 Praha 9, Czech Republic
Company number: 08427577
VAT: CZ08427577
info@threat-guard.site
CC Imports s.r.o. decides how and why any personal information described here is handled. Privacy questions should be sent to the email address above, marked for the attention of the privacy contact.
2. What is collected
Two things, and nothing else.
Server logs. Like any web server, the hosting provider that serves this site records a line for each request. Each line contains the IP address the request came from, the date and time, the address of the page requested, the HTTP status returned, the browser's user agent string, and in some cases the referring address. These logs are generated automatically by the hosting infrastructure; they are not created or enriched by anything on the pages themselves.
Emails you send. If you write to info@threat-guard.site, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you choose to put in the message.
There is nothing else, because there is nothing else to collect with. The site contains no contact form, no newsletter subscription, no account registration, no survey, no quiz, no comment section, no live chat and no download requiring details. It sets no cookies of its own and permits no third party to set one through it. It uses no analytics service, no advertising tag, no conversion pixel, no social media embed, no font or script hosted elsewhere, and no fingerprinting. It writes nothing to your browser's local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. The cookie policy covers this in more detail.
3. Why it is handled, and on what basis
Server logs exist so that the site can be kept running and secure: diagnosing errors, understanding a failure, and identifying abusive traffic such as automated attacks. They are not used to build a profile of readers, are not analysed for marketing, and are not combined with anything else.
Emails are handled for the single purpose of reading and answering the message you sent, and keeping a record of the exchange.
Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies to this handling, the publisher relies on its legitimate interests in operating and securing the site and in responding to correspondence (Article 6(1)(f)). Consent is not relied on, because the site sets no cookies and performs no tracking that could be consented to.
4. How long each category is kept
- Server logs: retained for 30 days in the ordinary course, then deleted or overwritten by the hosting provider. A log entry relevant to a live security incident may be kept separately for up to 12 months while that incident is dealt with.
- Emails: kept while the matter is open and for 24 months after the last message in the exchange, then deleted. A message that needs to be kept longer for a legal or accounting reason is kept only for as long as that reason requires.
5. Who else sees it, and where they are
The hosting provider. The company that hosts this site processes the server logs described above on the publisher's behalf, as part of serving the pages.
The email provider. The provider of the publisher's mailbox handles messages sent to the address above.
No one else. In particular, no advertising network, no analytics company and no vendor mentioned on this site receives anything about you from us. Following a paid link takes you to a third party's own website, at which point that party's privacy policy governs what it does — and we receive no personal information back from it, only aggregate commission reporting that does not identify individual readers to us.
Disclosure outside Australia (Australian Privacy Principle 8). The publisher is established in the Czech Republic and its hosting and email providers operate servers outside Australia, in the European Union. If you are in Australia, this means your personal information as described above is disclosed to overseas recipients and stored outside Australia. The publisher takes reasonable steps to ensure those recipients handle the information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, including by using providers bound by contractual terms and by the data protection law of the European Union.
6. How it is protected
The site is served over HTTPS, so the connection between your browser and the server is encrypted. Access to server logs and to the mailbox is limited to the publisher's own personnel who need it, and is protected by individual accounts with multi-factor authentication. Because no reader database, no payment information and no account system exists, there is no store of that kind to be breached.
7. Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles you may ask for access to the personal information the publisher holds about you, and ask for it to be corrected if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. In practice, for someone who has only read the site, the answer to an access request is that we hold nothing beyond a server log entry we cannot connect to you by name; for someone who has emailed us, it is that correspondence.
To make a request, write to info@threat-guard.site. We will respond within a reasonable period, normally within 30 days, and we do not charge for making a request.
If you are not satisfied with how a request or a privacy complaint has been handled, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, which explains the complaints process on its website. We would prefer the chance to resolve it first, but nothing requires you to come to us before going to the OAIC.
8. Rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR
Because the publisher is established in the European Union, readers may also have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, and readers in the United Kingdom under the UK GDPR. These are the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests. Requests go to the same address, info@threat-guard.site. You may also complain to a supervisory authority — in the Czech Republic, the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), and in other countries, the authority for your place of residence.
9. Data breaches
If a breach of personal information occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to any individual whose information is involved, the publisher will assess it promptly, notify those individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and take steps to contain and remedy it. Equivalent notification obligations under European law will be met where they apply.
10. Children
This site is written for adults making decisions about household technology. It is not directed at children, does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16, and has no means of collecting it in any case. If you believe a child has sent us personal information by email, write to us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
If the site changes in a way that affects this policy — for example if a form were ever added, or a third-party service introduced — this page will be updated before that change goes live, and the effective date at the top will change. Because we hold no mailing list, there is no way for us to notify you directly; the effective date is the way to tell whether anything has moved since you last read it.
