This policy explains what personal data Czech Slovak Roots Project (czechslovakroots.com/) collects, how it is used and what choices you have. It was last updated in October 2026.
Who we are
The site is published by the Czech Slovak Roots Editorial Team. You can contact us at contact@czechslovakroots.com.
What we collect
- Messages you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and we use it to reply and to correct or improve the site.
- Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting and WordPress software may record technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request, for security and to keep the site running.
- Information you give us when you request something. If we offer a download or newsletter, we will collect the email address you provide and use it to send what you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Cookies
WordPress and the site’s plugins may set cookies that are needed for the site to work. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may then not work as intended. If we add analytics or advertising cookies, we will update this policy.
Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on this site are affiliate links, for example to MyHeritage. When you click one, the other company may set its own cookies to record that you came from our site, and its privacy policy then governs what it collects. We do not control those companies’ practices, so please read their policies. See our affiliate disclosure for how we earn money.
How we use and share data
We use personal data only for the purposes described above. We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting provider and email service, and where the law requires it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and California, you may have the right to ask for access to your personal data, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to or restrict how it is used. To exercise a right, write to us at the address above, and we will respond as the law requires.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
Changes
We may update this policy, and we will change the date at the top when we do.
