Privacy policy

Who runs this site

MatTested is run by Emilija, based in Serbia. I'm responsible for any personal data collected through this website. You can reach me at [email protected].

There are no accounts, comments or payments on this site. I only collect what's described below.

What I collect

When you join the newsletter

Your email address, so I can send you my monthly letter about practice and moving your body, with a short note on what's new on the site. If you reply to an email, I'll also see whatever you choose to write.

When you visit, only if you accept cookies

Google Analytics shows me how the site is used: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are (country and city), what device and browser they use, and how they found the site. It doesn't tell me who you are, and I never try to identify individual visitors. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

When you visit, always

Cloudflare, the company that hosts this site, processes basic technical data such as your IP address and browser type, so the pages can load and the site stays secure.

Why I collect it

• The newsletter and Google Analytics only happen with your consent. You can withdraw it at any time.
• Hosting data is needed to run the website safely, which is a legitimate interest.

Who helps me run the site

• Cloudflare hosts the website.
• Kit stores newsletter subscribers and sends the emails.
• Google provides Google Analytics, only if you accept cookies.

Some of these companies store data outside Serbia, including in the United States. They protect it with the safeguards the law requires, such as standard contractual clauses.

Cookies

This site uses cookies only for Google Analytics, and only after you click Accept on the small cookie card. If you choose No, thanks, no analytics cookies are set and the site works exactly the same. Your choice is saved in your browser, so the card doesn't ask again.

You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page, or by clearing your browser's data for this site.

Some reviews include YouTube videos. The video player only loads when you click play, through YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, and YouTube's own privacy policy applies from then on.

How long I keep it

• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Analytics: 14 months, after which Google deletes it automatically.

Your rights

You can ask me to show you the data I hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it. Email me and I'll take care of it within 30 days. If you're unhappy with how your data is handled, you can contact Serbia's data protection authority, the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection, at poverenik.rs.

Links to other websites

Reviews link to the platforms I write about. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and this one doesn't cover them.

Changes to this policy

If anything here changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
