2.4 Analytics, statistics and advertising
With your consent (given via the cookie banner), the Website uses:
- Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) – to measure how visitors use the Website (pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, traffic sources). IP addresses are processed in shortened/aggregated form.

2.5 Server logs and security
Like virtually every website, the Website’s hosting and content delivery infrastructure automatically records technical data (IP address, date and time of request, requested URL, browser type). This data is used to ensure security, prevent abuse and diagnose technical issues. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – my legitimate interest in keeping the Website secure and functional.

5. Transfers Outside the European Economic Area
Some of the providers listed above (BigScoots LLC, Google LLC, Automattic Inc., Cloudflare Inc., Calendly LLC, [NEWSLETTER PROVIDER]) are based in the United States. In particular, the Website is hosted on BigScoots servers located in the USA, which means that data submitted via the contact form is stored there. Transfers of personal data to these providers are carried out on the basis of:
- the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), where the provider is certified under the DPF, and/or
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, together with additional safeguards where required.
You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards by contacting me at the e-mail address in Section 1.
6. Your Rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- access your data and obtain a copy of it (Art. 15),
- rectify inaccurate data (Art. 16),
- erase your data (“right to be forgotten”, Art. 17),
- restrict processing (Art. 18),
- data portability (Art. 20),
- object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21),
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal (Art. 7(3)).
To exercise any of these rights, contact me at the e-mail address in Section 1. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – in Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, uodo.gov.pl – or with the supervisory authority in your EU member state.

Providing your data is voluntary, but necessary to use certain features: without your e-mail address I cannot reply to your message or send you the newsletter.
8. Automated Decision-Making
Your data is not used for automated decision-making that produces legal effects concerning you. Personalised advertising (if you consent to it) involves profiling by Google for ad selection purposes only.
9. Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Website, the tools used, or the law. The current version, with its “Last updated” date, is always available on this page.
