Privacy contact

Email Ratna

The site does not ask for sensitive personal data. Please do not include it in a message unless it is genuinely necessary and agreed in advance.

• Contact form: name, email address, optional organisation, message, current site language, and the page from which the message is sent.
• Technical data: the hosting provider may process the IP address, timestamp, browser type, and request metadata needed for delivery, security, and service diagnostics.

The form does not subscribe anyone to a newsletter, and the data is not used for behavioural advertising.

• Replying to enquiries and preparing a possible engagement: steps requested before entering a contract or Ratna’s legitimate interest in handling professional enquiries.
• Protecting and operating the website: Ratna’s legitimate interest in security, availability, and technical diagnostics.

The website’s static files remain distributed through Vercel’s global network. Ratna does not sell personal data. Where a provider or subprocessor nevertheless processes data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer must be covered by an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

• Authorised people within Ratna who need the information to respond.
• Vercel Inc., the website hosting and technical processing provider (440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, United States). The contact function is configured to execute in Vercel region cdg1, in Paris, France.
• Brevo (Sendinblue SAS), the production provider used to deliver contact-form emails. Brevo states that the servers on which it processes and stores its databases are located exclusively within the European Union, primarily in France and Germany, with Google Cloud storage in Belgium.

• Business enquiries: up to 24 months after the last meaningful exchange, unless an engagement begins or longer retention is needed for a legal obligation or legal claim.
• Collaborator introductions: up to 12 months after the last exchange, unless the person agrees to longer retention.
• Technical logs: for the limited period configured by the hosting provider and needed for security, diagnostics, and service operation.

The site currently uses no cookies, local storage, analytics, advertising, or profiling trackers.

There is no consent banner because there are no non-essential trackers to accept or refuse.

If Ratna later adds audience measurement, its exact configuration must be reassessed. Any tool that stores or reads information on the device, uses a persistent identifier, or enables profiling must remain disabled until consent is obtained. Strictly cookieless analytics with no local storage or identification would still need clear disclosure on this page.

You may ask for access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests, using the privacy contact above. Other GDPR rights may apply depending on the processing.

You may also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
