2. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal data when you visit sopstandard.com, book a consultation via our scheduling link, or otherwise interact with us. It meets requirements under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German BDSG, and common U.S. state privacy frameworks (including California CCPA/CPRA principles where applicable).
3. Data We Collect
- Booking & scheduling data: name, email address, company details, and operational notes you provide when scheduling via our Cal.com integration;
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, referring URL, and timestamps processed securely by our host and CDN (Cloudflare);
- Communications: any information you voluntarily send us by email or direct interaction.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal data through this website.
4. Purposes & Legal Bases (GDPR)
- Respond to inquiries and schedule consultation appointments — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual steps) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in conducting professional business);
- Website security & delivery — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing secure, resilient hosting);
- Legal compliance — Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR where applicable.
5. Cal.com (Scheduling & Appointments)
Our appointment bookings and scheduling are processed via Cal.com, Inc. When you book a consultation, your provided contact details and scheduling preferences are transmitted to and processed on Cal.com's infrastructure to coordinate the meeting.
Cal.com acts as a processor on our behalf. Where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) apply. Details: cal.com/privacy.
6. Cloudflare (Hosting & CDN)
This website is served via Cloudflare, Inc., which provides content delivery, DNS, security, and performance services. Cloudflare may process technical connection data (including IP addresses and request metadata) in global data centers. Cloudflare acts as a processor for site delivery and may process data as an independent controller for certain security and analytics functions. Details: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
7. Retention
Booking submissions and client communications are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your request, fulfill ongoing business communication, or comply with legal obligations—typically up to 24 months unless a longer statutory period applies.
8. Sharing of Data
We never sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with service providers strictly necessary to operate this site and provide our advisory services (hosting, CDN, scheduling via Cal.com), professional advisors where required, or authorities when legally compelled.
9. Your Rights (GDPR / EEA)
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us at hello@sopstandard.com.
10. U.S. Privacy Notice
If you are a resident of California or another U.S. state with comprehensive privacy laws, you have the right to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain processing. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Submit inquiries to hello@sopstandard.com.
11. Cookies & Tracking
This website is engineered for minimal tracking and maximum performance. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels (Meta, LinkedIn), or marketing analytics scripts. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary technical cookies for security and traffic distribution.
12. Security
We enforce end-to-end HTTPS encryption, edge-firewall filtering via Cloudflare, and strict administrative data isolation. No transmission method over the Internet is 100% secure, but we apply institutional-grade protocols.
