Your Privacy Choices

Every choice this website actually gives you, in one place: what loads in your browser, the rights you can exercise over information held about you, and how to make each one.

This is a working draft. What it says about the website was checked against the code that builds it. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer or by a data protection adviser.

A note on the name of this page

“Your Privacy Choices” is a phrase from California law, where it labels a link letting a resident opt out of personal information being sold or shared. That is not what this page is, because that is not the situation here: this business is established in Slovakia, the site is read mainly in Europe, and nothing about you is sold or shared with anybody for their own purposes. There is no advertising network on this site and no data broker in the chain. The whole list of other companies involved is on the Subprocessors page and it has four entries.

The page keeps the name because that is the name the site owner asked for. Its contents are the European equivalent: the choices the GDPR actually gives you, and the switches this site actually has.

Choice one: what runs in your browser

This is the choice you can exercise immediately, with no request and no waiting.

Three other companies’ tools can load on this site: Google Analytics, the FlowHunt chat button, and the Calendly calendar on the booking page. Since 24 September 2026 none of them loads until you say so. Not a cookie withheld while the code runs anyway: the request is never made.

You can change your answer at any time from that first link, including withdrawing an agreement you gave earlier. Withdrawing is as easy as giving, which is a legal requirement and also just how the page is built. Switching analytics off deletes the Google cookies this domain carries and reloads the page so the code you turned off is no longer running.

If you would rather not rely on this site’s switches at all, your browser’s own settings for blocking cookies and site data work, and so do the extensions that do the same job. Nothing on this site needs a cookie to display correctly.

Choice two: your rights over information held about you

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation you can ask the business to:

  • tell you what it holds about you, and give you a copy
  • correct anything inaccurate
  • erase it
  • restrict what is done with it while a question about it is open
  • object to it being processed
  • receive it in a portable form, or have it sent to somebody else
  • withdraw consent you previously gave, without that affecting what was lawful before you withdrew it

In practice there is not much held. There are no user accounts on this site, no database behind it, and no newsletter list. What exists is: analytics, if you agreed to it, and any email you have actually sent.

All of these requests go to christopher.plant@thevoiceofbusiness.eu. Christopher Plant answers them. There is no form to fill in and no account to open first. Say what you want and which email address or enquiry it concerns.

The law gives a month to respond, extendable by two further months for a request that is genuinely complex, in which case you are told inside the first month.

[TO BE CONFIRMED: whether an identity check is required before a request is answered, and what form it takes. Asking for proof of identity is normal and is intended to stop somebody else obtaining your information, but what is asked for has not been decided, and inventing a procedure here would be writing policy rather than describing it.]

Choice three: complaining to somebody other than us

You do not have to raise a concern with the business first, and you do not have to be satisfied with the answer.

The business is established in Slovakia, so the supervisory authority is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic (Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky), at dataprotection.gov.sk. If you live in another EU member state you may complain to your own national authority instead, and it will deal with the authority above on your behalf.

What you cannot switch off

One thing, and it is worth being straight about it. Asking for a page means connecting to the company that serves the files, and its web server records that request: normally the IP address it came from, the page asked for, the time, and the browser’s description of itself. That is the act of visiting rather than anything added on top of it, so there is no switch for it here.

[TO BE CONFIRMED: what the hosting company records, how long it keeps it, and where. This is the same open question the Subprocessors page carries and it is the one that applies to every visitor regardless of what they consent to.]
