3. Scope of this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected through the website, including data submitted through the contact form, data sent by email, and technical data collected through normal website operation.
This website is intended to provide information about Anka Consulting and its services. Submission of an enquiry through this website does not automatically create a client or professional relationship.
4. Personal Data Collected
Depending on how the website is used, Anka Consulting may collect and process the following categories of personal
• Full name
• Email address
• Subject line and message content
• Any other information voluntarily included in an enquiry
• Technical usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and basic access logs, where collected by the website host or analytics tools
Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal data, confidential information, privileged material, or unnecessary third-party personal data through the website unless appropriate arrangements have first been made.
5. Purposes of Processing
Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:
• To respond to enquiries submitted through the website or by email
• To assess whether a matter falls within the scope of Anka Consulting’s services
• To communicate with prospective clients or business contacts
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
• To maintain internal records relating to communications and enquiries
• To comply with legal, regulatory, or risk-management obligations where applicable
6. Legal Bases for Processing
Anka Consulting processes personal data under one or more of the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:
• Article 6(1)(b), where processing is necessary in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a potential engagement
• Article 6(1)(f), where processing is necessary for legitimate interests, including responding to enquiries, managing communications, administering the website, ensuring security, and evaluating whether a request is relevant to the services offered
• Article 6(1)(c), where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, if applicable
• Article 6(1)(a), where consent is used for specific optional processing activities, if any
Where personal data is submitted through the contact form, the principal legal bases will generally be pre-contractual steps and legitimate interests.
7. How Personal Data Is Used
Personal data is used only to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy.
Anka Consulting does not use website enquiry data for unrelated marketing activity unless a lawful basis exists and, where required, appropriate consent has been obtained.
8. Sharing of Personal Data
Personal data may be shared only where necessary and appropriate, including with:
• Website hosting providers and IT service providers
• Email and communication service providers
• Professional advisers or consultants assisting with the relevant matter, where appropriate
• Trusted service providers supporting website functionality, security, or administration
• Public authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement bodies, where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary for legal protection
Where matters require coordinated support, information may be shared on a need-to-know basis with relevant professional contacts or local support networks, but only where appropriate and subject to applicable confidentiality and data protection considerations.
Personal data is not sold to third parties.
9. International Data Transfers
Because Anka Consulting operates internationally and may use service providers located in different jurisdictions, personal data may in some cases be processed outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards will be used where required under GDPR, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
10. Data Retention
Personal data will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to enquiries, maintain business records, assess potential engagements, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, or protect legal rights.
Enquiry data that does not lead to an ongoing engagement should not be kept longer than necessary. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the communication and any legal or operational requirements.
11. Data Security
Appropriate technical and organisational measures are taken to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Data Subject Rights
Subject to applicable law, individuals may have the following rights in relation to their personal
• The right of access
• The right to rectification
• The right to erasure
• The right to restriction of processing
• The right to object to processing
• The right to data portability, where applicable
• The right to withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent
• The right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority
Where Anka Consulting is established in Ireland, complaints may generally be made to the Irish Data Protection Commission, without prejudice to any rights available in another relevant jurisdiction.
13. Cookies and Analytics
This website may use strictly necessary technical cookies or similar technologies required for basic functionality, security, and performance.
If non-essential cookies, analytics tools, tracking tools, or similar technologies are used, a separate cookie mechanism or notice should be implemented as required, including consent collection where legally necessary.
At the current drafting stage, if the website is kept simple and avoids non-essential tracking, compliance is easier and the cookie burden is lower.
14. Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms, including LinkedIn.
Anka Consulting is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. Users should review the privacy notices of those third parties separately.
15. Children’s Data
This website is not intended for children, and personal data relating to children is not knowingly collected through the website.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or website-related changes. The latest version made available on the website shall apply.
