Personal Data Processing Policy

01 General provisions

The controller processes personal data under Federal Law No. 152-FZ of 27 July 2006 “On Personal Data” of the Russian Federation and applies this Policy to data received through the website.

The website is intended for professional communication about multiplayer game development. Do not submit passwords, access keys, payment data, special-category data or biometric personal data through the form.

02 Data we process

03 Purposes and legal bases

Handling an inquiry

Receiving, storing and reviewing the message, replying to the sender and discussing potential cooperation. The legal basis is the sender’s consent.

Website operation and security

Maintaining a secure form session, remembering the language selected by the visitor, preventing automated spam, diagnosing errors and protecting lawful interests. The legal basis is the controller’s legitimate interest in a working and protected website (Article 6(1)(7) of Federal Law No. 152-FZ).

Web analytics

Collecting visit statistics with Yandex Metrica to understand which sections are useful and to improve the website. The legal basis is the visitor’s separate consent (Consent to Personal Data Processing for Web Analytics), which may be refused or withdrawn at any time.

Legal compliance

Handling data-subject requests and meeting obligations under the laws of the Russian Federation.

04 Processing operations

Processing may be automated or mixed and may include collection, recording, organisation, accumulation, storage, correction, retrieval, use, limited disclosure to processors, restriction, deletion and destruction.

The controller does not publish or sell inquiry data, use it for bulk advertising, or make decisions with legal effects solely by automated processing.

05 Storage and deletion

The primary inquiry database and its initial processing are located in the Russian Federation. Inquiry data is kept for no longer than 12 months after submission unless a separate contractual or legal basis arises.

When the purpose is fulfilled or consent is withdrawn, data is deleted within the period required by law unless another lawful basis requires retention. Backup copies disappear through scheduled rotation.

Web-server technical logs are not used to identify visitors and are overwritten by automatic rotation. Web analytics statistics are kept in Yandex Metrica for as long as the controller uses the service.

06 Processors and transfers

Russian hosting, backup and email providers may be engaged to operate the website. They receive only the data required for the relevant service and must protect its confidentiality and security.

If a visitor consents to web analytics, YANDEX LLC (TIN 7736207543, 16 Lva Tolstogo St., Moscow 119021, Russia) processes the data on the controller’s behalf under the Yandex Metrica terms of use.

The website runs without foreign proxies or CDNs. Personal data is not transferred across borders or sent to foreign analytics or advertising systems. The Policy and required notices will be updated before that changes.

07 Cookies and local storage

An explicitly selected light or dark theme is stored in the browser as the local-storage entry uteam_theme until it is changed or browser storage is cleared. Selecting System removes this entry and follows the device theme. This preference is not sent to the server.

The technically necessary cookies uteam-site-session and XSRF-TOKEN maintain the secure session and CSRF protection of the form, and the uteam_locale cookie remembers a language the visitor selected. They support the requested form, security and interface preference.

Yandex Metrica is enabled only after the visitor clicks Accept in the notice at the bottom of the page; declining is as easy as accepting. Before a choice and after declining, the counter code is not loaded. The choice, its date and the document version are stored in the uteam_analytics_consent local-storage entry for no longer than 365 days, after which the notice asks again.

With consent, Yandex Metrica sets cookies and browser-storage entries prefixed with _ym. When consent is declined, withdrawn or expires, the website removes them from its domain. The choice can be changed at any time with the Cookie settings button in the footer.

Requests to Yandex servers may carry cookies that Yandex keeps on its own domains; they are governed by the Yandex privacy policy. No advertising or other third-party services are connected to the website.

08 Your rights

You may request information about processing, correction, restriction or deletion of your data, or withdraw consent. Write from the email used in the inquiry to privacy@uteam.dev and describe the request. Web analytics consent can also be withdrawn with the Cookie settings button in the footer.

The controller may request additional information needed to verify identity and prevent deletion at the request of an unrelated person.

09 Protection and Policy updates

The controller applies legal, organisational and technical safeguards proportionate to the data: access restriction, encrypted transport, backups, event logging and software updates.

The current Policy is always published at this address. Material changes apply to new inquiries after the new version and consent text are published.
