Privacy policy

Updated: 6 August 2026

Data controller — Artiom Ivanov (DoFollow brand), Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, hello@dofollow.md. This policy describes what personal data dofollow.md collects, why, where it is stored, and what rights you have under the Moldovan personal data protection law and the GDPR.

What data I collect and why

The site only collects data you submit yourself, and only to get back to you:

  • Contact forms: name, contact (email or Telegram), message. Basis — steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • SEO audit form: your website address; when ordering the full report — your email, to deliver the report. Basis — your request.
  • Meeting booking (Cal.com): name, email, chosen time. Basis — your request.
  • Server and Cloudflare technical logs: IP address, requested pages. Basis — legitimate interest (site security and operation).

What the site does NOT do

No advertising analytics: no Google Analytics, no Metrica, no social pixels. No third-party scripts. Data is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing.

Cookies

The site sets no cookies on plain browsing. The only cookie — NEXT_LOCALE (your chosen language) — appears only if you switch the language yourself and serves that function alone. Such functional cookies do not require consent. The color theme is kept in your browser’s localStorage and never reaches the server.

Where data is stored and who processes it

Form submissions and Cal.com bookings are stored in a database on my own server in a Hetzner data center (Germany, EU). Audit automation runs on the same server (n8n). Processors:

  • Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) — server hosting.
  • Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) — traffic proxying and site protection; sees visitor IP addresses. The transfer relies on the EU standard contractual clauses.
  • Email provider — delivery of notifications to hello@dofollow.md.

How long data is kept

Form submissions and audit-form emails — up to 12 months from submission, then deleted. Technical logs — up to 30 days. Correspondence after we start working together is kept as long as accounting and tax law requires.

Your rights

At any time you can:

  • request a copy of your data (right of access);
  • correct inaccurate data;
  • have your data deleted (right to be forgotten);
  • restrict or object to processing;
  • receive your data in a machine-readable format (portability).

Exercising your rights and complaints

Write to hello@dofollow.md — I reply within 30 days. If you believe your rights are violated, you may lodge a complaint with Moldova’s National Center for Personal Data Protection (CNPDCP, datepersonale.md).
