Personal Data Policy

In short and to the point: what data we receive through the website nikitalushnikov.com, why, where we keep it and how to have it deleted.

1. Who is responsible for the data

Operator: Individual Entrepreneur Nikita Vyacheslavovich Lushnikov, taxpayer ID (INN) 312329618166, state registration number (OGRNIP) 318312300089193.
Email for questions about your data: lushnikov_help@mail.ru.

This policy is drawn up under Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ of 27 July 2006 “On Personal Data”.

2. What data we receive and why

• Name, phone number, city, preferred way of contact. You enter them in the request form. We need them to accept your request and get in touch with you.
• What you tell us about the addiction, your health and your family. This is your request and your conversation with a member of the project team. We need it to understand the situation and decide whether we can help.
• Image and voice. Only if you send a video introduction so that we can consider your application to take part in the “Second Wind” project.

We do not collect any other data through the website.

3. Legal basis

Only your consent. You give it by ticking the box in the request form. The text of the consent is on the “Consent” page. Without consent the request cannot be sent.

4. Health information

The law treats information about addiction as information about a person’s health and gives it special protection. Therefore:

• we ask only for what is needed to make a decision on your request;
• only the staff members who carry out the selection have access to requests and video introductions;
• on admission to the project, the participant signs a written consent on paper;
• participants’ stories, photos and videos are published only with their separate written consent. You may refuse to give it; this does not affect your participation in the project.

5. Who we share the data with

No one other than the operator and the project staff who carry out the selection. We do not sell the data, do not pass it on for advertising and do not send it abroad.

6. Where we keep the data and for how long

The data is stored in Russia. Requests from the website are stored on the hosting server (Beget, Russia) for 6 months and are then deleted automatically; a copy reaches the operator by email.

If a request is not accepted or you decide not to take part, we delete the data and the video introduction within 30 days after the decision. In any case, we do not keep a request for longer than one year.

7. Video introduction

Video is not uploaded through the website and is not stored on it. You send it directly to the project team; we will tell you where when we contact you. The recording is viewed only by the staff members who carry out the selection. We do not show it to anyone else and do not publish it anywhere.

Please do not film another person without their consent.

8. Your rights

You can:

• find out what data of yours we hold;
• ask us to correct or delete it;
• withdraw your consent at any time.

Write to lushnikov_help@mail.ru. We will reply within 10 working days. After you withdraw your consent, we will delete the data within 30 days.

If you believe we have violated your rights, you can complain to Roskomnadzor (the Russian data protection authority) or go to court.

9. Cookies and visit counters

The website uses the Yandex.Metrica counter. It counts how many people visit the website, from which pages and devices, and helps us understand which sections are useful. To do this, the counter places cookies on your device and sends Yandex anonymised information about the visit: the page address, the type of device and browser, and the approximate region.

We do not use Metrica to record your actions on the page (its session recording, Webvisor, is turned off) and do not pass to it what you enter in the request form: your name, phone number and city do not reach Metrica.

In addition to Metrica, we count visits to the website with our own counter, which works without cookies. We save the address and title of the page opened, where you came from (another website or a tag in the link), the type of device and how many seconds the page was on your screen; we note whether you read it to the end. If you click a contact link (phone, email, Telegram, WhatsApp and others), we record only the type of link, not your number or address. If the page has a form, we note that you saw it, started filling it in and sent it, and the name of the form. The counter does not record what you type in the fields: this data reaches us only together with the request you send. We do not record your network address or browser: for one day they are turned into an anonymous tag that cannot identify you. The next day the tag and the detailed records are erased; only total figures without the tag remain.

You can opt out in your browser settings: block third-party cookies or install an extension that blocks counters. The website will work as usual.

10. How we protect the data

• the website works over a secure connection;
• only the responsible staff have access to the mailbox with requests, and it is password-protected;
• the requests page on the website is password-protected; after 5 wrong attempts, access is closed for 15 minutes;
• requests and videos are not forwarded to group chats;
• staff are obliged to keep confidential everything they learn from requests.

11. Minors

Requests are accepted from adults. If help is needed for a person under 18, the request is submitted by a parent or another legal representative.

12. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.

This is a translation for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the Russian version prevails.
