Privacy Policy

How Gatula Labs handles personal data, project information and technical access.

This Privacy Policy explains how Gatula ehf. operating Gatula Labs collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you contact us, request a project, use our website or work with us. Last updated: 2 July 2026.

Who controls the data

Gatula Labs may act as controller or processor depending on the project.

For website enquiries, project communication, invoicing, customer relationship management and our own business administration, Gatula ehf. is usually the data controller. For systems we build or maintain on behalf of a Client, we may act as a data processor according to the Client's instructions.

Controller. Gatula ehf. operating Gatula Labs, Bíldshöfði 16, 110 Reykjavík, Iceland. Kennitala: 450526-1850. VAT / VSK: 161431.
Applicable framework. Icelandic data protection law, Act No. 90/2018, and the GDPR principles as applicable in Iceland through the EEA framework.

1. Data we collect

We may collect name, email, phone number, company name, project details, messages, budget range, timeline, website URL, invoice details, billing records, technical access information, IP address, browser/device information, server logs and communication history.

If you give us credentials or access to third-party systems, you must have permission to do so.

2. Why we use data

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, provide services, manage projects, issue invoices, communicate with Clients, secure systems, troubleshoot issues, improve our website, keep business records and comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal bases

Depending on the situation, processing may be based on steps before entering into a contract, performance of a contract, legal obligation, legitimate interest, consent, or the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

4. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use essential technical cookies and may use analytics, performance or security tools to understand website usage and improve reliability. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if essential cookies are blocked.

5. Sharing and processors

We may share data with trusted service providers where necessary, including hosting providers, email providers, domain registrars, payment or invoicing providers, analytics tools, cloud platforms, subcontractors and professional advisers. We do not sell personal data.

6. International services

Some tools used in modern IT work may process data outside Iceland or the EEA. Where required, Gatula Labs aims to rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections, provider security terms or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

7. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose collected, including project delivery, support, legal, accounting, tax, warranty, security and dispute purposes. Enquiry data may be deleted earlier on request unless we have a legitimate reason or legal obligation to keep it.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion or restriction.

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to access your personal data, correct inaccurate data, request deletion, restrict processing, object to processing, request portability and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

How to contact us. Send requests to labs@gatula.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Security. We use practical technical and organisational measures such as limited access, credential care, HTTPS, controlled deployment and secure provider choices where appropriate.
Complaints. You may contact the Icelandic Data Protection Authority, Persónuvernd, if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

8. Client project data

Where we build or maintain a Client system, the Client is responsible for telling us what personal data the system may contain and whether special legal, industry or security requirements apply. A separate data processing agreement may be required for systems that process personal data on behalf of the Client.

9. Security limits

No website, server, email account, database or online system can be guaranteed as completely secure. Clients should use strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, secure account ownership, limited access and regular internal procedures.
