IP Addresses

IP addresses are assigned to your computer every time you get connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

We process server logs, including IP addresses, based on our legitimate interests in security, fraud prevention, and diagnosing service issues (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The website uses several third-party services that act to provide you with a better experience and allow us to optimize our content. The following third parties have limited access to some of your data when you visit this Website:

This information is used only to arrange the meeting and send you confirmations or reminders. Please see Calendly’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle your data.
  • Jira Service Management (Atlassian)
    We use Jira for managing requests submitted via our contact form or e-mails sent directly to us.

Contact Form

To manage direct communication processes for our Visitors and potential Customers, we may use the contact form. When you send us a message through this contact form, a user account will be automatically created in our Request Management System provided by Atlassian company (Privacy Policy). This system is based on a third-party service called Jira Service Management. Also, when you send us a message by e-mail, a user account will be automatically created in the same Request Management System.

When you submit a message to us, we keep the following data:

  • Sender’s Email address
  • Content of any messages that you send to us

This allows our support team members to reply to the message that you've sent us through our support system.

Please note:

  • You will never receive marketing related messages by contacting us through our contact form or by e-mail, unless it specifically relates to the message content that you've sent us.
  • The message you send is private and only available to our support team members.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Analytics data – stored in Google Analytics according to their retention settings (currently 26 months by default).
  • Support portal data (Jira Service Management) – stored as long as the account is active, and up to 3 years after the last interaction.
  • Calendly booking data – kept until the meeting is completed and for up to 12 months afterward for reference, unless you request earlier deletion.
  • Billing records – stored for at least 5 years in compliance with Polish accounting and tax law.
  • General inquiries (emails, contact forms) – kept up to 24 months unless earlier deletion is requested.

When the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or anonymized.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls, regular reviews) to protect personal data.

International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party providers we use (such as Google, Atlassian, and Calendly) are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), mainly in the United States.

Whenever your data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to guarantee that your data continues to receive the same level of protection.
