Technical data including IP addresses and sending configurations is used to configure, monitor, and optimize your email infrastructure. This data is also used in aggregated, anonymized form to improve our operational procedures and reference documentation.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell personal data to third parties under any circumstances. We share personal data with third parties only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Infrastructure providers: Our datacenter and hosting providers who process data on our behalf under appropriate data processing agreements
  • Payment processors: Our payment processing partners for the purpose of billing — they handle payment data under their own PCI-compliant privacy practices
  • Legal authorities: Where we are required by law, court order, or regulatory authority to disclose data
  • Professional advisors: Lawyers, accountants, and auditors who are bound by professional confidentiality obligations

All third-party data processors engaged by Cloud Server for Email are evaluated for GDPR compliance and operate under written data processing agreements that restrict them to processing data only as instructed by us.

7. International Data Transfers

Our primary infrastructure is located within the European Union (Estonia). Where we engage third-party services that may process data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission. We do not knowingly transfer personal data to countries that lack an adequacy decision without appropriate safeguards.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access (Article 15): You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification (Article 16): You may request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Right to erasure (Article 17): You may request deletion of your personal data where we have no legitimate basis to continue processing it
  • Right to restriction (Article 18): You may request that we restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances
  • Right to data portability (Article 20): Where processing is based on consent or contract, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Right to object (Article 21): You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing
  • Right to withdraw consent (Article 7): Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at infrastructure@cloudserverforemail.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon) or the supervisory authority in your EU member state of residence.

9. Cookies and Website Tracking

Our website uses limited technical cookies necessary for website functionality (session management, security tokens). We do not use third-party advertising tracking cookies. Where we use analytics tools to understand website usage patterns, these are configured to anonymize IP addresses and avoid cross-site tracking.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. This may affect website functionality but will not prevent you from accessing our content.

10. Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted communications (TLS/HTTPS for all web traffic, encrypted email for sensitive communications), access controls limiting data access to personnel who require it for their role, regular security assessments of our infrastructure, and incident response procedures for data breach detection and notification.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, and affected individuals without undue delay where required by GDPR Article 34.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or service offerings. Material changes will be communicated by posting a notice on our website with the updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

12. Contact and Complaints

For any questions, concerns, or to exercise your data protection rights, contact our privacy team at infrastructure@cloudserverforemail.com. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate at aki.ee.

13. Automated Decision-Making

Cloud Server for Email does not use automated decision-making or profiling processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals in the course of our normal service operations. Technical monitoring systems that automatically alert us to infrastructure events are not decision-making systems affecting individuals — they monitor technical performance metrics, not personal data.

If Cloud Server for Email were to implement any form of automated decision-making that affects service provision to clients or individuals, we would provide appropriate information under GDPR Article 22 and ensure the safeguards required by that provision are in place.

14. Accessibility of This Policy

This Privacy Policy is available in English. We will make reasonable efforts to provide translations or summaries in other languages upon request if necessary for accessibility. For the avoidance of doubt, the English version is the authoritative version in case of any discrepancy. This policy is available at cloudserverforemail.com/privacy-policy.html and is linked from our website footer.

15. Language and Interpretation

This Privacy Policy is written in plain English and is intended to be understood by individuals without legal training. Where technical or legal terms are used, we have endeavored to explain them in context. If any aspect of this policy is unclear, contact us at infrastructure@cloudserverforemail.com for clarification. We prefer transparency over legal complexity.
