Privacy Policy

How we collect, process, and protect the personal data provided by users of the Tenvalleys.com website.

§1 General

  1. This Privacy Policy outlines the rules governing the collection, processing, and protection of personal data provided by users of the Tenvalleys.com website.
  2. Tenvalleys respects the privacy of its users and is committed to protecting their personal data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, including the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
  3. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
  4. Tenvalleys reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be published on this page, and users will be informed via a notice on our website.
  5. Continued use of the website after any changes to the Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
  6. This Privacy Policy is governed by applicable data protection laws and regulations. Any disputes arising from this policy will be resolved according to the laws in force in the jurisdiction where Tenvalleys operates.

§2 Privacy Principles

  1. Data Collection: Tenvalleys collects personal data only when it is necessary for the provision of our services, such as contact information provided through the “Get in Touch” form or when you subscribe to our newsletter. Section §4 sets out in full what we collect for the newsletter and on what basis.
  2. Data Usage: Personal data is used solely for the purposes specified during collection, such as responding to inquiries, improving our services, or sending updates, and will not be shared with third parties without user consent, except where required by law.
  3. Data Security: Tenvalleys implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of personal data and to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or loss.
  4. Data Retention: Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

§3 Privacy Principles

  1. User Rights: Users have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of their personal data. Additionally, users may withdraw their consent to data processing at any time.
  2. Access to Information: Users may request information about the data Tenvalleys holds about them and exercise their rights by contacting us via the details provided below.
  3. Cookies: Tenvalleys.com uses cookies, small files stored on your device. Cookies needed to run the site securely are set automatically. Cookies used to measure how the site is used, or to support our advertising on other platforms, are set only after you accept them, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time. Section §5 lists every cookie in use.
  4. Analytics & Advertising Partners: When you accept the relevant cookie categories, we use Google Analytics to understand site usage, and LinkedIn’s advertising tools to measure and improve our LinkedIn campaigns. Section §5 lists exactly which cookies these set.
  5. International Transfers: Some of our service providers, including Google and LinkedIn, are based in the United States. Where personal data is transferred there, it is protected under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which both companies participate in.
  6. Third-Party Links: Our website may contain links to third-party sites. Tenvalleys is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

§4 The AI Pulse newsletter

  1. What we collect: Your e-mail address, and nothing else. We do not ask for your name, your company, or any other detail in order to send you the newsletter.
  2. Legal basis: Your consent, under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. We send the newsletter only to people who have asked for it.
  3. How consent is given (double opt-in): After you submit the sign-up form, we send you an e-mail containing a confirmation link. Your subscription begins only when you click that link. Until then your address is marked unconfirmed and receives no newsletter at all. If you never confirm, you never hear from us.
  4. Record of consent: When you confirm, the date, the time, and the IP address used to confirm are recorded. We keep this as evidence that the subscription was genuinely requested, and for no other purpose.
  5. What we use it for: Sending the weekly AI Pulse newsletter, and nothing else. We do not use subscriber addresses for sales outreach, we do not combine them with data from other sources, and we do not sell, rent, or share them.
  6. Who processes it: The newsletter is delivered by MailerLite Limited (88 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, D02 DK18, Ireland), acting as our data processor. Their data processing agreement forms part of the terms under which we use the service. Subscriber data is stored on infrastructure in the European Union, and where MailerLite transfers personal data outside the EEA it does so under the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
  7. Withdrawing your consent: Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. One click stops delivery immediately. You do not have to give a reason, and it has no effect on anything else between you and Tenvalleys.
  8. How long we keep it: If you unsubscribe, we stop sending immediately and keep your address on a suppression list. We do this so that a later import or sign-up cannot start mailing you again — it is the only way we can reliably honour your withdrawal. If you sign up but never confirm, your address is deleted within 30 days.

§5 Cookies in use

  1. Your choice: You decide which cookies we may set. To review or change your decision, open the cookie settings. Withdrawing consent takes effect immediately and does not affect your ability to use the site.
  2. Full list: The table below is generated from an automated scan of this website and updates whenever the cookies we use change, so it always reflects what is actually running.
