GDPR Compliance
Our commitment to protecting your personal data
About GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on 25 May 2018. As a company based in Croatia, a member state of the European Union, Nocturne Bloom d.o.o. is fully committed to complying with GDPR requirements.
This page outlines how we implement GDPR principles in our operations and explains your rights under this regulation.
Our Role as Data Controller
Nocturne Bloom d.o.o. acts as a data controller for the personal information we collect directly from you, including:
- Contact information provided when you inquire about our services
- Business details shared during project consultations
- Website usage data collected through cookies and analytics
As a data controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data and bear responsibility for ensuring that processing is lawful, fair, and transparent.
Data Protection Principles
We adhere to the core principles established by GDPR in all our data processing activities:
Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
We only process personal data when we have a valid legal basis, and we are open about how we use your information. Our Privacy Policy details our data practices in accessible language.
Purpose Limitation
We collect personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not use your information in ways that are incompatible with those purposes without obtaining additional consent.
Data Minimization
We limit the personal data we collect to what is necessary for the intended purpose. We do not request or retain information beyond what is needed to serve you effectively.
Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and kept up to date. You can request corrections to your information at any time.
Storage Limitation
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We have established retention periods for different categories of data and securely delete information when it is no longer needed.
Integrity and Confidentiality
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Your Rights Under GDPR
GDPR grants you specific rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights:
Right to Be Informed
You have the right to know how we collect and use your personal data. We provide this information through our Privacy Policy and direct communications when we collect your data.
Right of Access
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within 30 days of your request, along with supplementary information about how we process your data.
Right to Rectification
If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will make the necessary updates without undue delay.
Right to Erasure
Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the original purpose or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing
You can ask us to limit how we process your data while we address concerns about accuracy, lawfulness, or our legitimate interests.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format to transfer to another service provider.
Right to Object
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. When you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing immediately.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

Subject line: GDPR Request - [Your Name]
Please include:
- Your full name

Data Processing for Clients
When we provide smart home automation services to resort properties, our clients may share certain guest-related data with us for system configuration or troubleshooting purposes. In these situations:
- We act as a data processor on behalf of our client (the data controller)
- We process data only according to documented instructions from our client
- We maintain appropriate data processing agreements with our clients
- We implement security measures as specified in our service contracts
If you are a guest at a property using our automation systems and have questions about how your data is handled, please contact the property directly as they are the data controller for that information.
International Data Transfers
We primarily store and process data within the European Economic Area. If circumstances require transferring data outside the EEA, we ensure adequate protection through:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
- Adequacy decisions where the destination country provides equivalent protection
- Other appropriate safeguards as permitted by GDPR
Data Breach Notification
We have procedures in place to detect, report, and investigate personal data breaches. If a breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:
- Notify the Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach
- Communicate directly with affected individuals when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms

Agencija za zaštitu osobnih podataka (AZOP)
Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency
