Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Move To Belgrade (“we”, “us”, “the site”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit movetobelgrade.com.

We aim to keep this policy readable. It is not legal advice. If we make material changes, we will update the date above and post the revised policy on this page.

Who we are

Move To Belgrade is an independent informational website for people interested in relocating to or living in Belgrade, Serbia. Site identity details are also reflected in our public branding and contact channels.

Contact for privacy questions: use the form on our Contact page and mention “Privacy” in your message so we can prioritise it.

If you need a postal or company identity line for a formal request, ask via that form and we will provide the operator details we use for the site.

What this site does

We publish guides and blog articles. We do not run user accounts, member logins or paid membership areas on the main marketing site (unless clearly introduced later and covered by an updated policy).

What data we collect

Information you give us

When you use the contact form, we receive the fields you submit (for example your name, email address and message). That information is processed so we can read and respond to your enquiry.

Do not send special-category data (health, political opinions, etc.) through the contact form unless it is strictly necessary for your question.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and/or our processors may collect technical data such as:

  • IP address (possibly truncated or anonymised depending on tool settings)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and approximate location derived from IP
  • Pages viewed, referring URL and timestamps
  • General interaction data used for statistics

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies for:

  • Essential operation of the site
  • Analytics (understanding aggregate traffic)
  • Advertising (if ads are shown, including interest-related ads where partners use cookies)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.

Analytics

We may use privacy-oriented or industry-standard analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (popular pages, approximate geography, device mix). Analytics providers process data on our behalf under their terms and appropriate safeguards.

Where required, we configure analytics to reduce identifiability (for example IP anonymisation options when available).

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or similar partners.

Google and other ad partners may use cookies or advertising IDs to:

  • Show ads
  • Measure ad performance
  • (Where allowed) personalise ads based on browsing activity

For Google specifically, you can review Google’s policies and ad settings in your Google account and at Google’s advertising privacy resources. We do not control all cookies set by third-party ad networks.

If we enable ads, we aim to comply with the partner’s publisher requirements (including content and consent expectations applicable to our audience and hosting setup).

Contact form processor

Contact form submissions are handled through our hosting platform’s form service (for example Netlify Forms when the site is hosted on Netlify). That provider processes submission data so it can be delivered to us. Their security and retention practices are described in their own privacy documentation.

We use enquiry data to reply and, if relevant, to improve the site. We do not sell your contact messages as a marketing list.

If you are in a jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for processing, we typically rely on:

  • Legitimate interests — operating, securing and improving a free informational site; understanding aggregate traffic
  • Consent — non-essential cookies/ads where consent mechanisms apply
  • Contract / steps at your request — responding when you contact us
  • Legal obligation — when we must keep or disclose data under law

How long we keep data

  • Contact messages: kept as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable administrative period afterward, unless a longer retention is required for legal disputes.
  • Analytics: retained according to the analytics tool’s configured retention window.
  • Server/security logs: retained for a limited operational period.

Sharing of data

We share data only with:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers (site hosting, CDN, DNS)
  • Form and email delivery tools
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising partners when ads are active
  • Professional advisers or authorities if strictly necessary for legal compliance or protection of rights

We do not sell personal information in the sense of trading your email address as a product.

International transfers

Our vendors may process data in the EU, US or other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms provided by those vendors (such as standard contractual clauses) as described in their documentation.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete data in certain circumstances
  • Restrict or object to some processing
  • Data portability for data you provided
  • Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

To exercise rights, contact us via the Contact page. We may need to verify your request. Some rights are limited (for example we cannot erase server logs that no longer identify you, or data we must keep by law).

Children

The site is aimed at adults planning relocation and related life logistics. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child submitted data, contact us and we will delete it where appropriate.

Security

We use reputable hosting and HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use the contact form for ordinary enquiries rather than sending highly sensitive documents unsolicited.

Guides may link to government sites, banks, airlines, coworking spaces and other external resources. Their privacy practices are their own. Follow their policies when you leave movetobelgrade.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example if we add new tools, change advertisers or need clearer wording. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
