Privacy policy
Version 1.0. Effective from the date of publication on the site.
This policy explains what personal data pesticidy.ge collects, why and on what legal basis, who we share it with, how long we keep it and what rights you have. It is prepared in accordance with the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection.
1. Who processes the data
Data controller (site owner): pesticidy.ge.
Contact for personal data matters: E-mail: info@pesticidy.ge.
2. What data we collect and why
| Situation | Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration and personal account | name, e-mail, password (stored only as an encrypted hash), user type, organisation details if you provide them | account access, favourites, request history, auto-filling your details | contract (terms of use) |
| Invoice request, call-back, contact message | name, phone, e-mail, organisation, identification code, region, product, quantity, comment | forward your request to the selected seller or reply to you | your consent; steps taken at your request before entering into a contract |
| Company registration and advertising orders | company name, identification code, contact person, phone, e-mail, banner materials, order and invoice data | verifying the company, placing advertising, issuing invoices, accounting and tax records | contract; legal obligation (accounting and tax) |
| Newsletter subscription | e-mail, selected topics | sending news and alerts about new products | your separate consent (confirmed via a link in an e-mail) |
| Consent log | e-mail, form, policy version, IP address, date and time | proving that consent was given | legitimate interest and legal requirements |
| Site protection | IP address, number of login attempts and form submissions | protection against password guessing and spam | legitimate interest |
| Analytics (only with your consent) | pseudonymous visit data: pages, device, browser, approximate location based on IP | understanding which sections are useful and improving the site | your consent in the cookie banner |
Site search queries are stored without any link to a user — only the query text and the number of results. Banner impressions and clicks are stored as daily totals.
We do not collect special categories of data (health, beliefs, etc.) and do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.
3. Who we share data with
- Sellers and companies your request is addressed to. If you request an invoice or a call from a specific seller, your contact details and request are passed to that company, which then processes them as an independent controller under its own rules.
- Processors that help run the site: the hosting provider (site and database), the e-mail delivery service, the administrator notification service (Telegram), and Google Analytics — only with your consent. They process data on our behalf and only for the stated purposes.
- Public authorities — only in the cases and manner provided by the legislation of Georgia.
We do not sell personal data or share it for third-party advertising.
Some of these services may store data outside Georgia (for example, Google in the EU and the USA). Such transfers take place with appropriate data protection safeguards provided for by law, or with your consent.
4. How long we keep data
- account and account data — for as long as the account exists; after deletion the data is erased, except where we are required by law to keep it;
- requests (invoice, call-back, messages) — no longer than needed to respond and support the transaction, as a rule no more than 3 years;
- advertising orders, invoices and payment documents — for the period required by the tax and accounting legislation of Georgia;
- subscription — until you unsubscribe; after that your e-mail is removed from the mailing list;
- consent log — while the consent is valid and for 3 years after it is withdrawn (to demonstrate lawful processing);
- anti-spam and login protection data — up to 24 hours; server logs — under the hosting provider’s rules, no more than 12 months.
5. Cookies and local storage

6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- know whether we process your data and receive a copy of it;
- have inaccurate data corrected, updated or completed;
- request that processing be stopped and the data deleted or blocked;
- receive your data in a machine-readable format (portability);
- withdraw your consent at any time — this does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal;
- unsubscribe from the newsletter — via the link in any e-mail or in your account under “Subscriptions”;
- lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Service of Georgia (personaldata.ge) or a court.
Much of this can be done yourself in your account under “Data and deletion”: download your data and delete your account. Send other requests to info@pesticidy.ge — we will reply within the time limit set by law. To protect your data we may ask you to confirm that the request comes from you.
7. How we protect data
The site uses HTTPS; passwords are stored only as hashes; access to the admin panel is restricted and protected by login attempt limits and two-factor authentication; backups are made regularly. Only staff who need the data for their work have access to it.
8. Children
The site is intended for professionals and organisations and is not aimed at persons under 16. We do not knowingly collect children’s data.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site or the law changes. The new version is published on this page with its version number. If the changes are significant, we will announce them on the site or by e-mail to registered users.
