This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed and how external technologies are used in connection with the operation of this blog and newsletter, maintained by Vicode Szymon Krajewski.

1. Data Controller

The data controller is Szymon Krajewski, operating a sole proprietorship under the name Vicode Szymon Krajewski, registered in Poland and listed in the CEIDG (Central Registration and Information on Business).

Kontakt: contact (at) skrajewski.pl

2. Scope of Data Collected

I only collect your email address, which you voluntarily provide when subscribing to the newsletter.

Your data is processed to send a newsletter that may include:

  • new blog content,
  • educational materials,
  • information about my own products or services (e.g. ebooks, online courses, consultations),
  • promotional or affiliate content related to third-party products or services that I consider valuable.

The newsletter may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you choose to purchase a recommended product. Your data is not shared with third-party companies for marketing purposes.

The legal basis for processing your data is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

4. Source of Data

The data is obtained directly from you via the subscription form on the blog.

5. Data Recipients

I use MailerLite, a third-party service provided by MailerLite Limited (Ireland), to manage newsletter delivery. MailerLite operates in full compliance with the GDPR.

Your data is not shared or sold to any other parties.

6. Transfers Outside the EEA

MailerLite may use subprocessors located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
In such cases, appropriate safeguards are applied (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission).

7. Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Plausible Analytics (self-hosted) to gather anonymous statistics:

  • no cookies are used,
  • no user tracking,
  • no personal data is collected.

I do not use advertising technologies or personalized tracking tools.

8. Embedded Content from External Services

This website may include embedded content or elements from external services (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Twitter, BuyMeACoffee), such as videos, social media posts, audio players, or support buttons.

Whenever possible, such content is embedded using privacy-enhanced modes (e.g. youtube-nocookie) to limit data transfer until the user interacts with the content.

However, some elements — such as the BuyMeACoffee support button — may load external scripts and transmit technical data (such as IP address and browser information) to the service provider as soon as the page is loaded, even before interaction.

Some providers (e.g. BuyMeACoffee) may process your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in accordance with their own privacy policies.

I am not responsible for the processing of your data by those services. Before interacting with embedded content, please review the relevant provider’s privacy policy.

Examples:

9. Data Retention Period

Your email address is stored until you withdraw your consent or the newsletter is discontinued.

10. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to:

  • access your data,
  • rectify incorrect data,
  • request data deletion (“right to be forgotten”),
  • restrict processing,
  • transfer your data to another controller,
  • withdraw your consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing),
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g. in Poland: the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, PUODO).

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any newsletter or by contacting me directly via email.

12. Voluntary Nature of Providing Data

Providing your email address is voluntary, but necessary to receive the newsletter.

13. No Automated Decision-Making

Your data is not subject to automated decision-making, including profiling.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy.

In the case of significant changes (e.g. changes in processing purpose, service providers, or communication method), you will be notified via the blog or email.
