Privacy notice
How Sailient Group collects and uses personal data through this website.
Draft pending legal review
Prepared to reflect the GDPR, the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021) as they apply to this marketing website. Fields marked [TO BE CONFIRMED] depend on facts not yet finalised — formal incorporation, principally. Fields marked [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] flag assessments that a qualified Austrian data protection lawyer should verify before this notice is treated as final. This page is the basis for that review, not a substitute for it.
1. Scope
This notice explains how Sailient Group collects and uses personal data through this website, including data you provide when you contact us or apply for a role. It does not cover the Sailient products. This website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
2. Data controller
The controller responsible for this website is Sailient Group. Sailient Group is currently in the process of formal incorporation; the legally responsible entity, registered address, company register number and VAT ID will be published here once incorporation is complete.

3. Categories of personal data
Only the categories below, and only in relation to this marketing website — this site offers no logins or purchases.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity data | First name, last name, job title as provided in a form |
| Contact data | Email address, phone number, company name |
| Applicant data | CV, cover letter, role applied for and anything else you choose to submit through a careers application |
| Technical data | IP address, browser type and version, device type, referring page, timestamps — from server and CDN logs. The IP address a form is submitted from is stored with that submission for abuse prevention (section 5). |
| Financial data | None. This site processes no payments. |
4. Purposes and legal bases
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to contact requests | Identity, contact | Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] |
| Handling job applications | Applicant data | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — pre-contractual steps |
| Operating and securing the website | Technical data | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest |
| Abuse prevention on forms | Technical data | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest |
| Optional updates by email | Contact | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent, never pre-selected |
5. Form submissions
A submission is validated on the server, stored, and delivered by email to the Sailient intake address. Your email address is used as the reply path. The IP address the submission came from is retained for abuse prevention.
Requesting information is separate from consenting to marketing. The optional consent checkbox on the contact form is never pre-selected, and leaving it unticked has no effect on your request.
6. Service providers
This website is delivered through Cloudflare, which also provides the edge storage and email routing used by the form endpoints. Where a transactional email provider is used for outbound delivery, it will be named here once selected. [TO BE CONFIRMED]
No provider is listed here unless it is actually part of the stack.
7. Retention
Contact requests and applicant data are retained for as long as needed to handle the request and to meet any applicable legal retention obligation. Concrete retention periods per category are [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] — we are not publishing a number we have not set.
One period is set: the copy of a contact request kept in the website's form storage is deleted automatically after 90 days.
8. Your rights
Subject to the applicable law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and may object to processing based on legitimate interest or withdraw a consent you gave. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before it.
Requests go to contact@sailientgroup.com. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority — in Austria, the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
9. International transfers
Where a provider processes data outside the EEA, the transfer mechanism and safeguards will be described here specifically. [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] We do not make a blanket claim that all data stays in Europe, because that claim has to be true of the actual stack to be worth making.
10. Automated decisions and AI
We make no decision about you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR or Art. 22 UK GDPR. This website contains no AI system you interact with. Data you submit through our forms is not used to train AI models. More on how AI is and is not used here: AI transparency.
11. Visitors from the United Kingdom and Switzerland
If you are in the United Kingdom, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 give you the rights described in section 8, and you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). If you are in Switzerland, the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies in the same way, and you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
12. Visitors from the United States
We do not sell or share personal information, as those terms are used in US state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, and this website uses no advertising, analytics or cross-site tracking — so there is nothing to opt out of, and a Global Privacy Control signal changes nothing here. You may ask us at contact@sailientgroup.com what personal information we hold about you and to correct or delete it.
