Noriu Šokti

Your data. Clear rules.

You can browse the directory and published personal pages without signing in. You need an account to submit information or create your own page.

Data controller: Signal foundry MB (company code 308090497). For privacy requests, email paul@signalfoundry.lt.

What do we store?

Your sign-in identity and email, submitted requests, profile management permissions, review decisions, personal-page drafts and published versions, and the links you submit. Your sign-in address and permission-check information are not part of the public directory.

If you use Google or Facebook sign-in, we receive your account identifier, email, name and verification status when the provider supplies it. We store the connection to your Noriu Šokti account and tokens needed for sign-in. We encrypt access and refresh tokens. We use this data only for sign-in and account connection.

What is public?

When you select “Publish,” your chosen name, description, links, blocks, and photos used in those blocks become public. New draft changes stay private until you publish again. When you hide a page, its public link is no longer available; the draft stays in your account. External photos and posts remain on their original services.

How do we use the data?

To let you submit information, see its status, and manage an approved profile. Only an authorised administrator can access review data.

We use account data to provide the service you request (performance of a contract). We review submissions and profile claims to keep the directory accurate and protect profiles (legitimate interest). We use optional visit analytics only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

We keep account data while the account is in use. When we receive a deletion request, we verify ownership and remove data we no longer need. We may keep some records longer when the law requires it or to explain a decision. Public directory facts and source links may remain without your private account data.

Cloudflare hosts the site, and Sequenzy sends account email. If you choose Google or Facebook sign-in, we exchange data with that provider only for sign-in. Optional analytics and external media services are described below.

Studio reactions

You can leave a reaction without an account. When you open the reaction picker, we create a random cookie in this browser. It lasts 180 days after your last use. It lets you change or remove your reaction and helps limit the number of reactions. We do not link it to an account, and we do not collect IP addresses or browser fingerprints for reactions.

Only emojis and their total count are shown publicly. Each card keeps the 50 most recent reactions. When the limit is reached, a new reaction replaces the oldest one. Reactions disappear within 90 days; changing one does not extend its expiry. If you remove a reaction, its timestamp remains until expiry to prevent bypassing the daily limit. Expired entries are cleared while other reactions are kept. This is a browser-based limit, not a count of verified people.

Cookies and services

Sign-in may use essential session cookies. Visitor analytics loads only after you clearly consent; search and links continue to work if you decline. We do not send search text, exact coordinates or addresses to analytics. We do not use advertising tracking. We serve the fonts from this site. External studio websites have their own policies. Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, and Spotify embeds load only after a visitor selects the display button. The visitor’s browser then contacts the relevant service, which applies its own privacy rules.

Your browser loads photos directly from the address you provide. We do not copy or store the files. The photo service receives the request, including the visitor’s IP address; we do not send the page address with the photo request.

Your studio shortlist is saved in browser local storage. The noriu_studio_shortlist cookie lasts up to one year and lets the page show your selection before it loads. Clearing the shortlist removes the cookie. We do not use this selection for analytics or advertising.

Visitor analytics

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure public page visits, search-filter use, clicks on studio links, class links and contact options, and site speed. Google receives a cookie identifier, the page path, selected actions, and browser and device information. If you arrive from another website, Google receives its domain only, without the referring page path or query parameters. Google processes the IP address to derive an approximate location; Google Analytics does not store EU visitors’ IP addresses. We do not track account or admin pages.

The noriusokti_consent cookie remembers your choice for 182 days. Google Analytics cookies _ga and _ga_* identify the browser and session; their default lifetime is two years from the most recent visit. Your browser can shorten this period.

Google Analytics event-data retention is 2 months. User-level data retention is 14 months, renewed on a new visit. Aggregate reports can remain longer. You can change or withdraw consent through Cookie settings in the footer. Withdrawal stops new analytics collection and removes analytics cookies.

Google can process data outside the European Economic Area. Read about its data processing and transfer safeguards in Google’s privacy policy and its Google Analytics cookie information.

Corrections and removals

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, restrict its use or object to it. Where applicable, you can request data portability. You can also complain to the Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate.

You can request a correction or removal of your data using the correction form. An administrator will review your request.

To remove Noriu Šokti data linked to Google or Facebook sign-in, use the correction form and give your account email. Revoking access on Google or Facebook does not automatically remove your Noriu Šokti data.

Account and data deletion instructions

Drafts and links

Drafts and links stay in your account so you can continue your work. Removing a block from a draft does not change the published version. Publish your changes or hide the whole page. To request data removal, use the correction form.
