Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data is collected in connection with the use of the website goidea.net (the “Website”), for what purpose and on what legal basis it is processed, to whom it may be disclosed and what rights data subjects have.
If any questions remain after reading, write to info@goidea.pl - a reply follows within one business day.
1. Data controller
The controller of your personal data is:
inCONSULT Bartosz Liszkowski
ul. Słoneczna 4, 60-286 Poznań, Poland
VAT ID: PL7821703309
(operating the Website under the GoIDEA brand)
Contact details for data protection matters:
- email: info@goidea.pl
- telephone: +48 601 789 966
- postal address: ul. Słoneczna 4, 60-286 Poznań, Poland
The controller has not appointed a data protection officer. For all matters concerning the processing of your personal data, you can contact the controller directly using the details above.
2. What data is processed and where it comes from
Only the data you provide voluntarily is processed, together with technical data collected automatically when you use the Website.
2.1. Contact form
When you fill in the form on the Website, you provide:
- your name and company name,
- your phone number or business email address,
- (optionally) company size and industry,
- the message text - a description of your enquiry.
Please avoid including special categories of personal data (e.g. concerning health or beliefs) in your message, as well as data of third parties beyond what is necessary for a reply.
2.2. Booking a call (Cal.com)
Calls are arranged with the Cal.com tool. When booking, you provide at least your name and email address and, optionally, further details about your enquiry. This data is passed to the provider of the tool (see section 5) and to the controller, so that the arranged call can take place.
2.3. Contact by email or telephone
If you write directly by email or call, the controller processes the data contained in the correspondence together with the data needed to handle your enquiry.
2.4. Automatically collected data (analytics)
The Website uses the Plausible web analytics service, which works without cookies and without identifying individual users. It collects only aggregated, anonymous traffic statistics (e.g. number of visits, referral source, device type, country). Analytics runs without separate consent because it stores nothing on your device - you can turn it off via the “Manage cookies” button in the Website footer. Details are set out in the Cookie Policy.
Independently of this, the hosting provider may process technical data in server logs (including IP address, date and time of the request, browser type) to ensure the operation and security of the Website.
2.5. Newsletter
When you subscribe to the newsletter (in the footer, below articles or by ticking the consent box in the contact form or the calculator), you provide your email address. You confirm the subscription via a link in an email sent to that address (double opt-in). This is followed by a welcome email, two emails with selected articles in the first days after subscribing, and a message about each new article in the Knowledge section. Links in the emails go through the Website's own redirect address, which records the click (date and target link) to show which topics readers find useful. Every email contains an unsubscribe link.
2.6. PDF analysis from the calculator
If you request the PDF analysis from the Excel cost calculator, you provide your email address; the figures you enter (people, hours, hourly cost) are used to prepare the report, which is sent to that address. The request is stored in the same way as an enquiry from the contact form.
3. Purposes and legal bases of processing
Data is processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
| Purpose of processing | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Replying to an enquiry submitted via the form, email or telephone and taking pre-contractual steps at your request | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest - handling correspondence) |
| Arranging and holding a call (Cal.com) | Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR |
| Analysing Website traffic | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest - anonymous statistics needed to improve the Website) |
| Ensuring the operation, security and technical integrity of the Website | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) |
| Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) |
| Complying with legal obligations (e.g. tax and accounting law - where a business relationship exists) | Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR |
| Sending the newsletter and measuring clicks on links in the emails | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent); click measurement: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in relevant content) |
| Preparing and sending the PDF analysis from the calculator | Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR |
Providing your data is voluntary, but it is necessary for handling your enquiry or arranging a call - without it contact is not possible.
4. Recipients and processors
Your data may be entrusted to trusted service providers who process it solely on the controller's behalf, under data processing agreements and to the extent necessary:
- hosting provider - storage of the Website and server logs (home.pl);
- form automation provider - handling and forwarding of form submissions (n8n);
- email provider - receiving and sending correspondence;
- team messaging provider - notifications about new enquiries (Slack, see section 5);
- booking tool provider - Cal.com, Inc. (see section 5);
- analytics provider - Plausible (cookie-free, data stored in the EU);
- accounting and legal service providers - where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to pursue claims.
Data may also be disclosed to public authorities where a legal obligation to do so exists.
5. Transfers outside the European Economic Area
As a rule, data is processed within the European Economic Area (EEA).
An exception may be the booking tool Cal.com, whose provider is based in the United States. In that case the transfer takes place on the basis of appropriate safeguards provided for in the GDPR - in particular the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or an adequacy decision (Data Privacy Framework), where the provider participates in it.
Notifications about new enquiries are likewise sent to the team messaging tool Slack, whose provider is based in the United States; the same safeguards apply.
To obtain a copy of the safeguards applied, write to info@goidea.pl.
6. Retention period
Data is kept no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected:
- data from correspondence and the form - for the time needed to handle the enquiry and then for the limitation period of any potential claims;
- data relating to a concluded contract - for the duration of the business relationship and the period required by tax and accounting law (as a rule up to 5 years from the end of the year in which the tax obligation arose);
- newsletter subscriber data - until you unsubscribe; the record of consent given and withdrawn is kept for the limitation period for possible claims;
- data processed on the basis of consent - until the consent is withdrawn;
- data processed on the basis of legitimate interest - until an effective objection is raised or that interest ceases to exist.
7. Your rights
In connection with the processing of your data, you have the following rights:
- the right of access to your data and to obtain a copy of it,
- the right to rectification of your data,
- the right to erasure (the “right to be forgotten”),
- the right to restriction of processing,
- the right to data portability,
- the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest,
- the right to withdraw consent at any time - without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal,
- the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, write to info@goidea.pl. A reply follows without undue delay, at the latest within the time limit provided for in the GDPR.
As the controller is established in Poland, the competent supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (PUODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland. You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the EU member state of your habitual residence.
8. Profiling and automated decision-making
No decisions concerning you are made based solely on automated processing - including profiling - that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.
9. Cookies and similar technologies
The Website uses only necessary storage technologies (localStorage) to remember your theme and language settings and your cookie choices. Analytics (Plausible) is cookie-free and runs without separate consent; you can turn it off at any time. Details are set out in a separate document - the Cookie Policy. You can adjust your consents at any time via the “Manage cookies” button in the footer of the Website.
10. Changes to this Privacy Policy
The controller may update this Policy, for example when the law or the scope of the services changes. The current version is always available on the Website; the date of the last change appears at the beginning of the document.
