BLOK
Privacy policy
Effective: 11 November 2026
At BLOK we respect your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect through blok.mk, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what your rights are. We process it in line with the Law on Personal Data Protection (“Official Gazette of the Republic of North Macedonia” No. 42/20, 294/21 and 101/25), which follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The controller of your personal data is BLOKMEDIA DOOEL import-export Bitola. For any privacy question, write to us at studio@blok.mk.
2. What data we collect
- Contact form: the details you enter, such as your name, email, phone number and message.
- Careers form: your name, email, message and a portfolio link if you add one. If you later send us a CV by email, it is handled under this policy too.
- Technical data: when you visit, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical data (IP address, browser type, time of access) to keep the site secure and stable.
We do not collect special categories of personal data, and we do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
3. Why we process it, and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Replying to your enquiry or a collaboration request | Steps taken at your request before entering a contract, and our legitimate interest in answering messages |
| Reviewing a job application | Your consent, and steps taken before possible employment |
| Keeping the site secure and working | Our legitimate interest |
You can withdraw your consent at any time; this does not affect processing carried out before you withdraw it.
4. Cookies
The site does not use cookies for analytics, tracking or advertising. If that changes, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent where it is required.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data or share it for marketing. Only the members of our team who need it have access, along with the following processors, who act on our instructions:
- Netlify, Inc. (USA): hosts the site and receives form submissions.
- MKHost (Macedonia): hosts our email.
- Google LLC (USA): the email service we use to receive and answer messages.
We may also disclose data to the competent authorities where the law requires it.
6. Transfers outside the country
Our hosting provider (Netlify) and our email service (Google) are based in the USA, so some data is transferred outside the country. We make such transfers only with the safeguards the law requires, such as standard contractual clauses.
7. How long we keep it
- Messages and enquiries: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless we start working together.
- Job applications: up to 12 months, unless you agree that we may keep them longer for future openings.
- Technical logs: according to our hosting provider’s retention periods.
When the period ends, we delete the data or anonymize it permanently.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to data portability, and to object to its processing. Send your request to studio@blok.mk; we will reply within the time limit set by law.
If you believe your rights have been violated, you can file a request with the Personal Data Protection Agency, bul. Goce Delchev 18, 1000 Skopje, azlp.mk, info@privacy.mk.
9. Security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and restricted access.
10. Changes
We may update this policy. Any change will be published on this page with a new effective date.
