Please do not submit sensitive health information through the contact form or by email.
The website does not currently provide an online health questionnaire and does not intentionally collect health information through its general forms.
If sensitive health information is submitted without being requested, it may be deleted as soon as reasonably possible. Where appropriate, the sender may be asked to contact a qualified healthcare professional or use a more suitable communication method.
4. How We Use Personal Information
Personal information may be used to:
- deliver a free guide or resource you requested;
- respond to a contact or consultation enquiry;
- provide technical or download support;
- send email updates when you have separately requested them;
- record and manage consent or withdrawal of consent;

- diagnose technical problems;
- maintain the reliability and security of the website;
- comply with applicable legal obligations;
- establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.
Personal information will not be used for purposes that are incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation or UK GDPR applies, personal information is processed on the following grounds.
Delivering a requested guide
Your email address is processed because it is necessary to provide the complimentary resource you requested.
Responding to enquiries
Contact information and message content are processed on the basis of Olga Ugrymova’s legitimate interest in reading and responding to enquiries.
Where your message concerns a possible consultation or collaboration, the information may also be processed to take steps at your request before any possible agreement is made.
Email marketing
Seasonal food ideas, new guide announcements and other optional email updates are sent only when you have given separate consent.
Requesting a free guide does not require you to subscribe to marketing emails.
You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by:
- using the unsubscribe link in an email; or
- contacting olga@ugrymova.com.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal.
Website security and administration
Technical and security information is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in maintaining a functional, secure and reliable website.
Legal obligations
Information may be processed where necessary to comply with an applicable legal obligation.
6. Email Communications
There are two separate types of email communication.
Requested service emails
These emails are necessary to:
- deliver a guide you requested;
- confirm that a contact form was received;
- respond to your enquiry;
- provide requested technical or download support.
Optional marketing emails
These may contain:
- seasonal food ideas;
- notifications about new free guides;
- nutrition articles;
- occasional updates from Olga Ugrymova.
Marketing emails are optional and require separate consent.
Not agreeing to receive marketing emails will not prevent you from receiving a free guide you requested.
7. Service Providers
Personal information may be processed by carefully selected service providers that help operate the website.
Lovable Cloud
Lovable Cloud provides website hosting and may provide database, storage, server-function, security and technical infrastructure used by ugrymova.com.
Lovable and its authorised infrastructure providers may process limited personal and technical information on behalf of the website publisher.
Resend
Resend is used to send requested guides, transactional messages and optional marketing emails.
Resend may process information such as:
- recipient email address;
- recipient name, when provided;
- email content;
- delivery status;
- bounce and complaint information;

Email service provider
The email provider used for olga@ugrymova.com may process messages sent directly to that address and replies sent by Olga Ugrymova.
Professional and legal recipients
Information may also be disclosed:
- when required by law;
- in response to a valid request from a competent authority;
- to professional advisers where reasonably necessary;
- to protect the security, rights or legal interests of the website publisher or another person.
Service providers are permitted to process personal information only as necessary to provide their services and in accordance with their contractual and legal obligations.
8. International Data Transfers
Some service providers or their authorised subprocessors may operate outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or the country in which a visitor lives.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards may be used, including:
- an adequacy decision;
- the EU Standard Contractual Clauses;
- the UK International Data Transfer Addendum;
- participation in an applicable Data Privacy Framework;
- another lawful transfer mechanism.
9. How Long We Keep Information
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Free guide requests without marketing subscription
Information used only to deliver a requested guide may be retained for up to 12 months after the request, including for delivery support, security and prevention of repeated abuse.
It may then be deleted or anonymised unless a longer period is required by law.
Marketing subscribers
Marketing contact information may be retained until:
- you unsubscribe;
- you withdraw your consent;
- the email address repeatedly fails;
- the mailing list is discontinued; or
- there has been no meaningful interaction for approximately three years.
Contact enquiries
Contact form submissions and related correspondence may normally be retained for up to 12 months after the last meaningful exchange.
Information may be retained for longer where reasonably necessary to address an ongoing matter, comply with a legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
Consent and unsubscribe records
Records showing that consent was given or withdrawn may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance and respect your communication preferences.
A minimal suppression record may be retained after you unsubscribe to ensure that marketing emails are not sent to you again accidentally.
Technical logs
Technical and security logs controlled by the website publisher are generally retained for no longer than six months, unless a longer period is required to investigate an error, suspected fraud or security incident.
Service providers may retain their own technical records according to their legal obligations and published retention practices.

14. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence tools may be used to assist with general website activities such as drafting, translation, editing, formatting or content organisation.
Personal information submitted through contact forms or mailing-list forms is not intentionally used to train artificial intelligence models or to generate public articles.
Contact messages and subscriber information should not be entered into external AI tools unless the information has first been appropriately removed or anonymised, or another lawful and adequately protected processing arrangement applies.
15. Automated Decision-Making
The website does not use personal information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects through solely automated processing.
16. External Websites
The website may contain links to third-party websites.
