Legal basis
The processing is based on legitimate interest: allowing a visitor, recruiter, company, or potential partner to contact Arlind Halimi through this professional portfolio.
Contact form
The contact form uses Web3Forms to transmit messages. Data sent through this form is not used for advertising, automated prospecting, data resale, or newsletter subscription. To reduce bot abuse and spam, the form also uses hCaptcha as an anti-abuse verification service before submission.

It may also be technically processed by service providers necessary for the operation of the site, including Hostinger for hosting, Web3Forms for the contact form, and certain external services used for display.

Messages received are kept for the time necessary to process the request. For professional contacts, data may be kept for up to 12 months after the last exchange, unless deletion is requested or a legal obligation requires otherwise.
Cookies and external services
This website does not use advertising cookies or marketing tracking tools. Some external services necessary for display, security, or operation may receive technical data when pages load, including CSS/JavaScript libraries, icons, the contact form service, and hCaptcha for anti-spam verification.
Transfers outside the European Union
Some technical providers may be located outside the European Union or process data from third countries. In such cases, the relevant providers must implement the safeguards required by the GDPR, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures.
Security
Reasonable measures are in place to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or unwanted disclosure. Access to messages is limited to what is strictly necessary to respond to received requests.
Automated decision-making
No automated decision-making, profiling, or scoring is carried out on the basis of data submitted through this website.
