Website information

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected and used when you visit chadaev.info or chadaev.uk, or contact Alexander Chadaev through the channels linked from these websites.

1. Data controller and contact

The person responsible for the processing described in this policy is Alexander Chadaev. Questions about privacy, access to your personal data, or other data protection requests can be sent through Telegram or WhatsApp. You may also use telephone +44 7488 818001. Please state that your enquiry concerns personal data.

2. Information that may be processed

• Website visits. Technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages requested, timestamps and security events may be processed by the website hosting, caching and security services.
• Direct enquiries. When you contact me on Telegram or WhatsApp, I may receive the name or username you use, your contact details, messages and any information you choose to share.
• Comments, if enabled. If a WordPress comment form is available and you submit a comment, the site may receive the details entered in the form, together with IP address and browser information used for comment administration and spam prevention.

Please do not send sensitive personal information, including medical records, unless it is genuinely necessary and an appropriate basis for handling it has been established.

3. Purposes and lawful bases

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, information is processed only where there is an appropriate legal basis:

• Website operation and security: delivering pages, protecting against abuse and troubleshooting technical problems, based on legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and functional website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
• Responding to enquiries and arranging services: taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement, or performing an agreement (Article 6(1)(b)); where appropriate, responding to correspondence under legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)).
• Legal obligations: keeping or disclosing information where required by applicable law (Article 6(1)(c)).
• Consent-based processing, if applicable: where consent is required and requested, processing is based on that consent (Article 6(1)(a)). Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting processing already carried out lawfully.

4. Cookies and website technology

These are public information websites without visitor accounts, and no advertising, behavioural tracking or analytics cookies are intentionally deployed on public pages. The restricted WordPress administration area may use authentication, session and preference cookies for authorised administrators. Website delivery and security services may also use strictly necessary technical cookies.

Cookies used solely for essential website operation or administrator authentication do not require a public cookie-consent banner. If non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies are introduced in future, the applicable consent and transparency requirements will be followed before they are used. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

5. Hosting, security and other recipients

Information may be processed by service providers acting on behalf of the websites, including hosting and infrastructure providers, caching and website-security services such as Cloudflare, and technical tools supporting WordPress. If comments are enabled, the Akismet anti-spam service may process comment-related data.

When you choose to contact me through Telegram or WhatsApp, your communication is also processed by the relevant messaging provider under its own terms and privacy policy. These services operate independently of this website. The websites also contain links to external platforms; following those links takes you to services with their own privacy practices.

Personal data is not sold to advertisers. Information may be disclosed where required by law or necessary to protect legal rights.

6. International transfers

Some hosting, security or messaging providers may process information in countries outside the European Economic Area. When an international transfer falls under the GDPR, the relevant legal requirements and applicable safeguards must be observed. Details of a provider’s arrangements can be found in that provider’s privacy documentation; you may contact me to request available information about transfers involving data under my control.

7. How long information is kept

I do not maintain a separate marketing database or routinely archive personal conversations for promotional purposes. Enquiry information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, carry out agreed work, address disputes or meet legal obligations. Technical and security records may be retained by infrastructure providers in accordance with their applicable retention rules.

If public comments are enabled, approved comments and associated information may remain published until removed or moderated. Data stored independently by Telegram, WhatsApp or other external providers is subject to their retention practices.

8. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, or data portability. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis.

To make a request, use the contact channels in Section 1. I may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity before acting on a request. Where the GDPR applies, requests will be handled within the applicable legal time limits. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection supervisory authority.

9. Providing information and automated decisions

You do not have to provide personal details merely to read public pages. To receive a response to an enquiry, you will need to provide enough information and a usable contact method. If necessary details are not provided, it may not be possible to respond or consider a service request.

The websites do not make decisions about visitors solely by automated means that produce legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of GDPR Article 22.

10. Children

These websites are intended for a general adult audience. If you believe a child has provided personal information that should be removed, please contact me using the details above.

11. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website functions, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page indicates the latest published version.
