THE SKY BUREAU
Privacy Policy
What the Bureau keeps about you, why it keeps it, for how long — and how one click strikes you off the register.
1. Data controller
- Controller: The operator's details will be completed once the trade-register entry is finalised.
- Brand / service operated: The Sky Bureau (CZ Nebeský úřad, SK Nebeský úrad) — this is a fictional bureau, not a public authority; for GDPR purposes the controller is the real operating entity, not the “bureau”.
- Data protection contact: the filing office e-mail address (see the Contact page).
- Data Protection Officer (DPO): none is appointed — the controller’s activity does not fall under the mandatory appointment in Art. 37 GDPR (there is no large-scale systematic monitoring and no special categories of data).
2. What data we process about you
We keep to the minimum. For the filing office itself that is:
| Data | Who enters it | Why we hold it |
|---|---|---|
| E-mail address | the data subject | the only identifier of the applicant; delivery of confirmations and commercial messages |
| Waiting-list file number | assigned by the system | the sequential “official” number of the application |
| Date and time of sign-up and confirmation | the system | evidence of the consent given (Art. 7(1) GDPR) |
| IP address at sign-up and confirmation | the system | evidence of consent and protection against form abuse |
- Although we say publicly that “we collect only your e-mail”, for the demonstrability of consent we technically also record a timestamp and an IP address. That is standard for double opt-in and we say so.
- We do not process in the filing office: name, telephone, address, location, payment data or special categories of data (Art. 9 GDPR). Those arrive only with a purchase and will be covered separately.
3. Purpose and legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Recording the application for the filing office (allotting a file number, confirming sign-up) | consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR |
| Sending commercial messages (news, the opening of sales) | consent — Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and double opt-in under § 7 of Czech Act No. 480/2004 Coll. |
| Evidencing the consent given (logs) | legitimate interest — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR |
Double opt-in = after you enter your e-mail address a verification e-mail arrives; only clicking the link activates the sign-up and the consent to commercial messages. Until confirmation the address is not activated for mailing.
4. How long we keep the data
- Until consent is withdrawn (unsubscribed), and at most 24 months from sign-up, unless the sign-up becomes a customer relationship sooner, or
- until transfer into the customer records upon purchase (the purchase policy then applies).
- Records of the consent given (time, IP) are kept for the duration of the consent and for 3 years after its withdrawal for the defence of legal claims.
5. Who we pass the data to (processors)
The data are processed by our suppliers (processors under Art. 28 GDPR) on the basis of processing agreements:
| Supplier | Role |
|---|---|
| Supabase | database, record of sign-ups |
| Resend | sending e-mails (confirmations, messages) |
| Vercel | hosting of the website and the form |
| Plausible | traffic analytics (cookie-free) |
| Stripe | payments (from the opening of sales; not used in the filing office) |
- For suppliers outside the EU the transfer relies on standard contractual clauses (SCC). We keep the list of processors up to date.
6. Rights of the data subject
You have the right:
- of access to your data (Art. 15) — you know what we keep about you;
- to rectification (Art. 16) — e.g. a typo in your e-mail address;
- to erasure (“to be forgotten”, Art. 17) — we delete you from the filing office;
- to restriction of processing (Art. 18);
- to data portability (Art. 20) — we will hand over the e-mail address in a machine-readable form;
- to object to the processing (Art. 21);
- to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)) — without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
- to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ), Pplk. Sochora 27, Prague 7, www.uoou.gov.cz. Slovak applicants: the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic, www.dataprotection.gov.sk.
We handle requests without undue delay and within one month at the latest (Art. 12(3) GDPR). The contact address is on the Contact page.
7. How to withdraw consent and unsubscribe
- Click “Unsubscribe” in the footer of every e-mail — mailing stops immediately.
- Or send an e-mail to the filing office asking to be erased from the records.
Withdrawing consent is free of charge and carries no penalty. After withdrawal we stop sending messages and delete the address (except the necessary consent log, see article 4).
8. Cookies and analytics
- The filing-office form works without marketing cookies.
- Analytics run cookie-free and without profiling visitors.
9. Automated decision-making and profiling
We carry out no automated decision-making with legal effect and no profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. The allotment of a file number is purely sequential.
This policy covers the filing office (the waiting list). The purchase flow will receive an extended wording when sales open.
This is a translation of the Czech original, which the Bureau issues as binding. In case of any discrepancy between language versions, the Czech wording prevails.
The Sky Bureau is a fictional institution. An entry is a novelty gift and confers no legal claim to the sky.
