PRIVACY POLICY

How metrotashkent.com collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data — including advertising and cookies.

Last updated: 19 May 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how metrotashkent.com (“we”, “us”, “the website”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal data when you visit and use this website. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

Please read this policy together with our Cookie Policy, which gives more detail about the cookies and similar technologies used on the site.

Who is responsible for your data

The publisher of metrotashkent.com is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. You can contact us about any privacy matter, or to exercise your rights, at [email protected] or through the contact page.

What information we collect

We collect a limited amount of information:

Information you give us. When you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address and message you choose to send, so that we can read and answer your enquiry.
Information collected automatically. Like almost all websites, when you visit we automatically receive technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, the page that referred you, the pages you view on this site and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through standard server logs and, where enabled and consented to, through analytics tools.
Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies as described in the “Cookies” section below and in the Cookie Policy.

We do not ask for, and do not knowingly collect, sensitive personal data through this website.

How we use your information

We use the information described above to:

respond to messages and enquiries you send us;
operate, maintain and secure the website and protect it against misuse;
understand, in aggregate, how the website is used so we can improve it;
display advertising that helps fund the website;
comply with our legal obligations.

Legal bases for processing

Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

Consent — for non-essential cookies and similar technologies, including analytics and personalised advertising. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Legitimate interests — for operating and securing the website, handling enquiries you send us, and understanding basic, aggregated traffic, in a way that does not override your rights and freedoms.
Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with the law.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. They fall into three broad groups: essential cookies that make the site work and keep it secure; analytics cookies that help us measure traffic; and advertising cookies set by our advertising partners. A full list, with purposes and durations, is given in our Cookie Policy, which also explains how to manage or refuse cookies.

Advertising and Google AdSense

metrotashkent.com is supported by advertising and uses the Google AdSense programme, operated by Google, to display ads.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or to other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
You can also opt out of the use of cookies for personalised advertising by many other third-party vendors at optout.aboutads.info or, for users in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.

If you opt out of, or do not consent to, personalised advertising, you may still see ads, but they will be non-personalised — chosen using general factors such as the content of the page and your approximate (coarse) location rather than your browsing history.

For more detail on how Google handles data when you use sites that show its ads, see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services” at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and Google’s advertising information at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Analytics

We may use a web-analytics service to understand how visitors use the site — for example which pages are most read — in an aggregated, statistical form. Where this relies on non-essential cookies, it is used only after you have given consent. We do not use analytics to identify you personally.

Consent for users in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies (including analytics and advertising cookies) are placed, by means of a consent banner when you first arrive. Until you give consent, only essential cookies are used and any advertising shown is non-personalised. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the cookie settings on the site.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as needed to run the website, with the following kinds of recipients, each acting under its own privacy terms:

our web-hosting and content-delivery providers, which operate the servers and security layer of the site;
Google, in connection with advertising (Google AdSense) and, where enabled, analytics;
the email provider through which we receive and answer contact-form messages;
public authorities or advisers, where we are required to share data by law or to protect our legal rights.

International data transfers

Some of our service providers, in particular Google, may process data on servers located outside your own country, including outside the EEA. Where that happens, those providers state that they rely on appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses — to protect your data.

How long we keep your data

We keep contact-form messages only for as long as we need them to deal with your enquiry and any reasonable follow-up. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Cookies last for the periods set out in the Cookie Policy.

How we protect your data

The website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection and sits behind a content-delivery and security network. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. However, no transmission over the Internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you have the right to:

access the personal data we hold about you;
have inaccurate data corrected;
have your data erased;
restrict or object to our processing of your data;
receive your data in a portable form;
withdraw any consent you have given, at any time;
lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or through the contact page. We will respond within the time limits set by law.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to review it periodically; significant changes will be made clear on this page.
