Privacy Policy

Introduction and overview

We have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and applicable national laws, which personal data (“data”) we process, for what purposes, on what legal basis, and what rights you have.

We aim to describe the most important points clearly and transparently. Where technical terms are necessary, we explain them in a user-friendly way.

In short: This Privacy Policy explains how Curanode handles personal data when you use our website, contact us, or use our services.

  • events, marketing, and newsletters (if used)

  • business relationships and service delivery (B2B and B2C, if applicable)

If we process data in a context not covered here (e.g., a specific customer project contract), we may provide separate privacy notices where required.

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, email address, IP address, or company affiliation.

We process personal data only where a lawful basis exists under Art. 6 GDPR, including:

Website Hosting (Wix) & International Processing

​

Our website is built and operated using the platform Wix.

The Wix account used to manage this website is administered outside EU/EEA. Depending on Wix’s infrastructure and service configuration, personal data processed through the website (such as IP addresses, contact form submissions, or consent records) may be processed in the European Union and/or in India, as well as in other locations where Wix or its subprocessors operate.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, appropriate safeguards are applied, including:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR), and

  • contractual and technical safeguards implemented by Wix.

Legal basis:
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website),
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), where applicable.

We do not collect unnecessary data and do not sell personal data.

Data Retention

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes or as required by law. Once the purpose no longer applies, data is deleted or anonymized unless legal retention obligations apply.
