Operator and scope

continuouspentest.org is an educational resource operated by SEQ SIA (OffSeq), registration number 40203410806, Lastādijas iela 12 k-3, Riga, LV-1050, Latvia. The site has no user accounts, no newsletter and no comments. We receive personal data only when you choose to send it through the inquiry form or by email.

The cadence designer

Everything you select in the cadence designer is processed in your browser. The selections stay in page memory for as long as the page is open: the application does not save them to local storage, does not send them to OffSeq and does not add them to outbound links. Reloading the page clears them. The tool is educational, it does not inspect your accounts or infrastructure, and its output is not a compliance determination.

The inquiry form

Only the email address is required. If you provide them, we also receive your name, the topic you chose and your message. With the request we receive the page address and form placement it was sent from, the time it was sent and the country Cloudflare derives from the connection. We do not include your IP address in the message or store it; Cloudflare uses it briefly to rate-limit submissions and deter automated spam. Cadence designer choices are never attached to the request.

To tell people apart from automated spam, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile. It loads only once you start filling in or submit the form and assesses technical browser and connection signals, such as the IP address and browser user agent; we do not pass what you type into the form to it. Cloudflare performs this check as our processor and also uses the signals, as an independent controller, to improve its bot detection (Turnstile Privacy Addendum). Our server receives only the result of the check and does not store it. To catch mistyped addresses, after you submit, our server looks up the email domain (the part after @) in Cloudflare’s public DNS; only the domain is sent. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting the form from abuse (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We use these data only to answer your request and, if you ask for one, to prepare a service proposal. The legal basis is steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, for questions unrelated to a service, the operator’s legitimate interest in answering correspondence it receives (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Providing the data is voluntary; without an email address we cannot reply.

Cloudflare’s email service delivers the request as an email to the SEQ SIA mailbox, acting as a processor. The message is read and handled by the SEQ SIA staff who answer inquiries. We keep requests for up to 12 months after our last contact with you; if we enter into a contract, correspondence is kept for as long as the contract and applicable law require. Analytics records only a successful-submission event and the form placement, never the data you entered.

Technical requests and traffic measurement

Serving a page through Cloudflare involves technical request data, including an IP address, browser headers, the requested URL and the request time. These data support delivery, security and operation of the site. Cloudflare may set cookies for its own security functions; these are separate from the site application.

The site sends page views, clicks on OffSeq service and contact links and successful inquiry-form submissions to our self-hosted Plausible service at in.ainalytic.net. Events include the site domain, the public page address, limited campaign parameters and the referring site’s origin when available. A link-click event adds only the destination path and a static placement label, such as header or guide; a form-submission event adds only the form placement. Cadence designer choices, results and form fields are never sent. The application sets no analytics cookies and no persistent visitor identifier; the collector receives technical network information with the request. Cookieless measurement still involves data processing.

Measurement is disabled when the browser signals Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, or when this site’s local-storage preference plausible_ignore is true. It is also disabled for previews, local development and recognized automation. OffSeq links may carry static referral labels identifying the resource and the link placement; these labels never contain your answers.

We use technical request data to operate and secure the site, and page-view, link-click and form-submission statistics to understand how the resource is used and how much interest there is in OffSeq services. The operator’s stated legal basis for these purposes is legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Hosting and infrastructure providers process requests on our behalf; the analytics service is self-hosted. Data are kept only as long as needed for those purposes and applicable legal obligations. The operator’s privacy policy explains its retention criteria, providers and transfer safeguards.

If you email support@offseq.com, we handle the address, the message and anything else you choose to provide in the same way as inquiry-form data. OffSeq service links and the cited sources take you to sites with their own privacy notices.
