Who is responsible

Robert Smak (Automate Advocate) runs this site. Write to robertsmak@5waystoautomate.com with any question about your data.

What I collect, and why

When you book a call, you give me your name, your work email, your company, the departments you picked and anything you write in the form. I use it only to hold the call and prepare for it.

The booking goes into my Google Calendar with a Google Meet link, and Google sends you the invitation. I also get an email with your answers. Google acts for me as a processor under its own terms.

Radar waiting list

If you join the waiting list for the Radar membership, I keep your email and the sector you picked, and use them only to tell you when the membership opens. Ask me and I take you off the list.

Matching your company

If you paste your company's website on the Radar, I keep your email, the website address and the company profile made from a few of its public pages, so the Radar can match projects to it. If you rate a matched project ("fits" or "not for us", with a reason), I keep that rating with your email and use it to improve the matching and to follow up with you about that project. Ask me and I delete all of it.

NIS2 check

The NIS2 check looks up the company number (NIP) you enter in two public registers (the VAT white list of the Polish Ministry of Finance and the KRS register) and keeps the result for 30 days, so the same company is not looked up again. If you ask for the checklist, I keep your email, the NIP, the company name, the sector and the result, and use them to send the checklist and to contact you about NIS2. Ask me and I delete it.

Radar members

If you are a member of the Radar, I keep your email, your name, your company, the sectors you follow, the plants you choose to watch (to email you when they post something new), and the date you last opened the Radar. Your private link is stored only in a scrambled form. Opening it sets one sign-in cookie, needed to show you the full data; it holds no personal data and expires after 180 days or when you sign out.

Maps

The project map loads map tiles from OpenFreeMap when you scroll to it. It sets no cookies.

How long I keep it

As long as we are in touch about the call and what follows it. Ask me and I delete it.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to how I use it, at any time by email. You can also complain to the data protection authority in your country (in Poland, the Prezes UODO).

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. If I add visitor statistics, they will be cookieless and anonymous.
