Who receives your data
- Cloudflare: hosting and delivering the site.
- Google: the site loads its fonts from Google’s servers, so your browser sends Google your IP address. Application notifications also reach our Gmail inboxes.
- Tally: running the application form shown on our site. The company is based in Belgium and stores the answers in Europe.
- SendGrid: sending the form’s email notifications, which contain your answers. This company operates in the USA.
- Meta: Instagram messages and comments run on that company’s terms. Facebook only if you choose to open our profile.
- TikTok: only if you choose to open our profile.
- Accountants and public authorities: only when a contract or the law requires it.
We don’t sell your data.
Transfers outside the EEA
These providers may also process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the USA. Those transfers rely on the mechanisms set out in the GDPR, such as the Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
Cookies
This site doesn’t store cookies in your browser and doesn’t use analytics, advertising pixels or other tracking tools. That’s why you won’t see a cookie banner. The application form runs on Tally: it doesn’t store cookies, but it keeps an identifier and your progress in your browser’s storage. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok have their own rules, which apply once you go to those services.
Your rights
- Access your data and get a copy of it.
- Have your data corrected or deleted.
- Restrict processing and move your data.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Withdraw consent at any time, if you gave it.
To use these rights, message us on Instagram. You can also complain to the data protection authority in the country where you live or work. In Poland that is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (uodo.gov.pl).
Do you have to give us data
No. You can browse the site without giving us anything. Without your details, though, we can’t reply to you or sign a contract with you. We don’t make decisions about you by fully automated means.
Changes
If we change how we process data, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
