Who is responsible
Ragnar T. Potschka, independent automation specialist, based in France. Contact: thorenpotschka@gmail.com
What data I collect and why
- Contact form and chat assistant: if you write to me, I receive what you enter — your message, name, email address, your company, and optionally your WhatsApp number. I use this only to reply to your enquiry and to discuss a possible project with you.
- Technical data: when you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the website and keep it secure.
- Chat session: the chat assistant stores a random session ID in your browser (local storage) so the conversation stays connected while you chat. It contains no personal information.
Services I use to process your data
- Netlify, Inc. (USA), with Cloudflare: website hosting and delivery.
- n8n Cloud (n8n GmbH, Germany): processes chat messages and form submissions.
- Google Cloud / Vertex AI (Google, USA): generates the chat assistant's replies from your messages.
- Google Sheets and Gmail (Google, USA): store enquiries and notify me of new ones.
- WhatsApp (Meta): only if you ask me to contact you via WhatsApp.
Some of these providers are based outside the EU. Where that is the case, data transfers rely on the safeguards these providers offer, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Legal basis
I process your enquiry to answer it and to take steps toward a possible contract at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Technical data is processed based on my legitimate interest in operating a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
How long I keep your data
Enquiries are kept as long as needed to handle them. If no project follows, I delete them within 12 months.
Your rights
You can ask me at any time for access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, restrict or object to its processing, and request a copy of it. Just email thorenpotschka@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
