How long I keep data
- Newsletter — until you unsubscribe. You unsubscribe with one click in any e-mail.
- Orders and payments — for the period required by tax law.
- Statistics — data in PostHog according to the provider's retention cycle, usually up to 12 months.
- Correspondence — as long as needed to handle the matter.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict processing, to data portability, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal).
Write to [email protected] and I will reply. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Poland: the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, UODO; in Germany: the competent state data protection authority).
Cookies and tracking
The site uses cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential — remembering your choice and basic site functions. Without them the site does not work properly.
- Analytics (PostHog) — how many people visit the site and what they click.
- Marketing (Meta pixel) — measuring the performance of ads on Facebook and Instagram.
You can block cookies in your browser settings. Some features may then stop working.
Analytics and marketing cookies run only after your consent: on your first visit you see a banner with a choice. You can change your decision at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
Job listings published on the site
Listings on the job board come from publicly available careers pages and employers' hiring systems. The descriptions next to the listings are mine and are not copied from the employer's materials. I do not collect or store candidate data: you apply directly with the employer and I do not act as an intermediary in that process.
Are you an employer and want your listing removed from the site? Write to [email protected] and I remove it without asking why.
