Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ZaDjecu.net is a family-focused website that publishes articles, practical tools, calculators, printables, and related resources. For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ZaDjecu.net acts as the data controller for personal data collected through this website.

If you have any privacy-related questions or want to exercise your rights, you can contact us at [email protected].

2. What personal data we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact information, such as your name and email address, if you send us a message.
• Message content, including any information you choose to include when contacting us.
• Technical and usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, and general site interaction data.
• Cookie and analytics data, where consent is required and has been provided, or where strictly necessary cookies are used for site functionality.
• Tool input data, if you use an on-site calculator or planner. Where possible, these tools are designed to work locally in your browser, but some technical logging may still occur for security, maintenance, or performance reasons.

3. How we collect data

We may collect personal data directly from you when you contact us, indirectly through your browser or device when you use the site, and through third-party platforms or services that help operate the website.

This can happen when you browse pages, use interactive tools, click affiliate or social links, submit a message, or interact with embedded content and third-party features.

4. Why we process personal data

We process personal data only where there is a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on the situation, this may include:

• responding to enquiries and messages you send us,
• operating, maintaining, and securing the website,
• understanding how visitors use the site so we can improve content, navigation, design, and performance,
• providing tools, calculators, and practical resources,
• complying with legal obligations,
• protecting our rights, preventing abuse, and investigating misuse,
• using optional cookies or analytics where required consent has been given.

5. Legal bases for processing

Under the GDPR, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent — for example, where optional cookies or similar technologies require your permission.
• Legitimate interests — for website security, performance monitoring, content improvement, fraud prevention, and day-to-day website administration, provided your rights and freedoms do not override those interests.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to keep or disclose information to comply with applicable law.
• Contract or pre-contractual steps — where needed to respond to a request you make or provide a service you actively seek from us.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work properly, remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, measure performance, and improve the browsing experience.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Other cookies, such as analytics, functionality, advertising, or third-party cookies, may require your consent before they are placed on your device, depending on applicable law and how the site is configured.

For more detail, please review our separate Cookie Policy.

7. Analytics and performance data

We may use website analytics, performance measurement, and traffic monitoring tools to understand how visitors use the site, which content performs best, and where the site can be improved. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, time on page, general device information, and approximate location.

Where analytics cookies require consent, they should only be activated after consent has been given. Aggregated or anonymised reporting may still be used where legally permitted.

8. Contact forms, email, and communications

If you contact us by email or through a form on the website, we may store your message and related contact details so that we can respond, keep a communication record, and manage future follow-up if needed.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal data unless it is truly necessary. This website is not intended for emergency, medical, or highly sensitive submissions.

9. Tools, planners, and calculators

ZaDjecu.net includes practical family tools such as planners, checkers, calculators, and trackers. These tools are intended to help families organise routines and information more clearly.

Where possible, tool interactions should remain local to your browser. However, some technical information may still be processed for maintenance, security, error detection, or functional delivery of the tool. Tool results are provided for informational use only and do not replace professional advice.

10. Third-party links, embeds, and external services

This website may link to third-party services such as Etsy, Facebook, Instagram, or other external websites. It may also contain embedded content or social media integrations.

When you click a third-party link or interact with third-party content, your information may be processed under that third party’s own privacy policy and terms. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services and recommend reviewing their policies directly.

11. Affiliate links and commercial relationships

Some pages may contain affiliate links or references to products, services, or marketplaces. If you click those links, the third-party provider may collect information about the referral or your visit. Any such tracking is governed by that third party’s policies and your own settings, including cookie preferences where applicable.

For more detail, please review our Affiliate Disclosure.

12. How long we keep personal data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including for communication records, technical maintenance, security, legal compliance, and dispute resolution.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, the purpose of processing, and whether legal obligations require a longer retention period.

13. Sharing personal data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited personal data with trusted service providers or processors that help us operate the website, such as hosting providers, security services, analytics providers, form tools, email services, or technical support providers.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, to investigate abuse, or in connection with a business reorganisation, transfer, or sale if that ever becomes relevant.

14. International data transfers

Some service providers may process data outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we expect appropriate safeguards to be used where required by law, such as adequacy decisions, contractual safeguards, or equivalent protective measures.

15. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no website, platform, email system, or online transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

16. Children’s privacy

ZaDjecu.net is written for parents, caregivers, and adults seeking family guidance. It is not intended for children to submit personal data directly. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through contact forms, email, or similar direct input areas.

If you believe a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will review the situation.

17. Your rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may also have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

18. Complaints

If you are located in the European Union and believe your personal data has been handled in a way that does not comply with applicable law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

In Croatia, the competent authority is the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP).

19. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, legal requirements, technology, or the way we process data. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
