Privacy policy

This policy explains what data makesales.uz collects, why, where it is stored and how you can control it. We only collect what the site and community need, and we never sell data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The owner and operator of the personal database is Pavel Rastrigin, self-employed, Tashkent, Uzbekistan ("we"). Email: makesales.uz@gmail.com, phone: +998 50 123 24 00.

This policy follows the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Personal Data" No. ZRU-547 of 02.07.2019 as currently in force.

2. What data we collect

We get data from three sources: you enter it yourself, you sign in, or your browser sends technical details.

• Sign-up and sign-in: email and account ID; with Google sign-in also your name and photo from your Google account. We never see your password and store it only as an irreversible hash.
• Profile: name, photo, Telegram, phone, LinkedIn, if you provide them.
• Specialist card: specialty, niches, experience, description, portfolio, services, region and work format, social links.
• Company form: public company details, company tax ID, name, position, phone and Telegram of the contact person.
• Requests (plan, add-on, partnership, event): what you wrote in the form.
• Plan payment: amount, term, date, transfer screenshot. We do not store your card number.
• Reviews, comments, articles and support messages.
• MakeSales Telegram bot, if you connected it: chat ID and chosen topics.
• Our emails: we note whether an email was delivered, opened and whether a link in it was clicked, so we do not write more than needed.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device, pages and time of visit.
• Samsa (that's cookies): see section 7.

We do not collect passport data, health or religious information or other special categories, and we do not use photos for face recognition.

3. Why

• to run your account and dashboard;
• to review your request, contact you and perform the contract under the public offer;
• to publish what you sent for publication, after review;
• to send service emails and bot messages: about your request, plan, review, reminders;
• to answer support requests;
• to protect the site from spam, hacking and abuse;
• to understand which sections are useful (only with consent to analytics).

We don't send marketing without your separate consent and don't share contacts with third parties for their marketing. For a new purpose we will ask for new consent.

4. Legal grounds

• your consent to personal data processing, given with a checkbox when signing up or sending a request, and your consent to analytics in the samsa window;
• the contract under the public offer, if you paid for a plan;
• legal requirements, if a public authority sends a lawful request.

You can withdraw consent at any time by writing to makesales.uz@gmail.com. This does not affect processing before withdrawal.

5. What other people can see

• In the catalog: what a specialist or company sent for publication and what passed review: name, photo, description, niches, links, Telegram for contact.
• Reviews, comments and articles: under the name you gave, after review.
• Emails, phones from requests, payments, support messages and technical data are seen only by the administrator (and unpublished articles by an editor).

6. Where data is stored and who receives it

Data is processed by services acting on our instructions and only to run the site:

• Supabase: database, files, sign-in (Germany, Frankfurt);
• Vercel: running the site (Germany, USA);
• Resend: sending emails (USA);
• Google: Google sign-in, Google Analytics if you allowed analytics (USA);
• Yandex: Yandex Metrica if you allowed analytics (Russia);
• Telegram: the MakeSales bot, if you connected it;
• Anthropic: translating site texts into English (USA);
• YouTube: podcast episodes on our pages, under its own rules.

Germany, Russia and the USA (for companies in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) are on the list of countries with adequate personal data protection (Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 415 of 29.07.2026). Data goes to other countries only with your consent.

We disclose data to public authorities only on a lawful request.

7. Samsa (that's cookies)

Samsa on this site means cookies: small files your browser keeps for us. The site works worse without them.

• Essential samsa: remembers your language, keeps you signed in and stores your choice in the samsa window. Always on.
• Analytics samsa: Yandex Metrica and Google Analytics count visits. Turned on only if you press "OK". Metrica's Webvisor does not record what you type in fields.
• No advertising samsa: we don't show ads and don't share data with ad networks.

Changed your mind? Press "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the site.

8. How long we keep data

• Account, profile and expert reviews: while the account exists.
• Specialist or company card: while it is listed and 6 months after removal, in case you come back.
• Requests, support messages and payment details: up to 2 years after our last contact, unless the law requires longer.
• A community review, articles and comments stay on the site after account deletion, without a link to the account. Write to us to remove them.
• Analytics: under Metrica and Google Analytics rules, usually up to 26 months.
• Server logs: up to 90 days.

9. How we protect data

• The connection to the site is always encrypted (HTTPS).
• Only the administrator can access requests, payments and settings. Permissions are checked by the database for every row.

• We regularly check that outsiders cannot read, change or delete data.
