In short
- We use the email address and answers you send in the mission brief to reply to you, prepare a proposal and follow up on it. Nothing else.
- Bookings run through cal.com, whose code loads only when you click “Book a call”.
- This site uses no analytics or advertising tools at the moment, and no cookies of ours.
- We count visits with Umami, which uses no cookies and does not identify you.
- Tools that set cookies (Google Analytics and the LinkedIn Insight Tag) run only if you agree, and you can change your mind any time.
- The site and your brief live on our own servers in the European Union. Write to privacy@geeknauts.com to see, correct or delete your data.
- Your brief reaches us through Formspark, a form service based in Belgium that keeps it in the European Union. Write to privacy@geeknauts.com to see, correct or delete your data.

2What we collect, why, and on what legal basis
The mission brief
When you send the mission brief on our home page, we receive:
- your email address;
- your answers (where your project is, how much you code, the first mission and, if you give them, timing, the way of working and budget) with the summary shown to you;
- details of the sending: the page address, how long the brief took (it helps tell people from bots) and the campaign parameters of the link that brought you here (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content), if there were any.
To protect the form from spam, our server also uses your IP address for a short time to limit how many briefs one connection can send.
The brief goes to Formspark (Trampoline Software SRL, Belgium), which stores it for us in the European Union and sends it to our team’s email. To keep the form free of spam, Formspark checks each brief automatically and records the IP address and browser of the sending.
We use this data:
- to reply to your brief and prepare a proposal: these are steps you ask for before a contract (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR);
- to follow up on our reply: our legitimate interest in answering enquiries and finding clients (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR);
- to keep the form and the site free of spam and abuse: our legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Giving your email address is voluntary, but without it we cannot answer you by email. You can also book a call or write to us directly.
The follow-up is about your brief only: we do not add you to a newsletter or send you other marketing emails unless you agree to it separately.
Booking a call
The “Book a call” buttons open the booking calendar of Cal.com, Inc. Its code loads only when you click; until then nothing from cal.com runs on our pages. If you book, you give your name, email address and whatever else the booking form asks for directly in that calendar, and we receive the booking. We use it to arrange and hold the call you asked for (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to follow up on it (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
When you write or call
If you email or call us, we use your contact details and what you tell us to answer you: art. 6(1)(b) GDPR when it is about a possible project, otherwise our legitimate interest in answering (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Statistics and marketing
At the moment this site uses no analytics tools: no statistics, no advertising tags and no cookies of ours.
Umami, statistics without cookies. We count visits and how the site’s features are used (for example how far visitors get in the brief) with Umami. It uses no cookies and does not identify you: it records the page, the referring site, the browser, the device type and the approximate location (country, region), and counts visitors without storing IP addresses. We never send it your email address or your answers. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used and improving it (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Google Analytics, only with your consent. If you agree to statistics in the cookie banner, we also use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited). It sets cookies and sends Google information about your visit: the pages and features you use, your device and your approximate location. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses; we have switched off Google signals and ad personalisation. Legal basis: your consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time in Cookie settings.
LinkedIn Insight Tag, only with your consent. If you agree to marketing in the cookie banner, we use the LinkedIn Insight Tag (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company) to see whether our LinkedIn campaigns bring visitors who then send a brief or book a call, and to understand who our ads reach. LinkedIn sets its own cookies and can link the visit to your LinkedIn account. Legal basis: your consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time in Cookie settings.
Spam protection
The brief’s email form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc.). It runs only when you reach the email field and checks, from technical data about your browser and connection, that a person is sending the brief. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the form free of spam (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Server logs
Like any website, our servers record technical data about requests: the time, the address requested, the response, the referring page and the browser type, which can include your IP address. We use the logs only to run the site, keep it secure and find faults (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3Who else receives your data
We do not sell personal data. It reaches only those who help us run the site and answer you:
- Hosting: the site and the briefs live on Geeknauts’ own servers in the European Union.
- Hosting: the site lives on servers in the European Union.
- Trampoline Software SRL (Formspark, Belgium): receives and stores your brief for us in the European Union and sends it to our team’s email.
- Cal.com, Inc. (USA): the booking calendar, when you book a call.
- Google Ireland Limited (Google Workspace): our team’s email, where your brief and our correspondence with you arrive.
- Umami: statistics without cookies.
- Google Ireland Limited: Google Analytics, only with your consent.
- LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company: the LinkedIn Insight Tag, only with your consent.
- Cloudflare, Inc. (USA): the spam check on the brief’s form.
- Our advisers (legal, tax, accounting) when needed, and public authorities when the law requires it.
Providers that process data for us may do so only on our instructions, under data processing agreements (art. 28 GDPR).
4Transfers outside the European Economic Area
Some of the providers above are based in the United States or may process data there: Cal.com, Inc. and Google LLC (Google Workspace, Google Analytics), LinkedIn Corporation, Cloudflare, Inc., and two providers Formspark uses for error monitoring and maps (Sentry and Mapbox). Such transfers rely on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (art. 45 GDPR) where the recipient is certified under it, and otherwise on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). You can ask us for a copy at privacy@geeknauts.com.

6Your rights
You have the right to:
- access your data and get a copy of it (art. 15 GDPR);
- have it corrected (art. 16) or erased (art. 17);
- restrict its processing (art. 18);
- receive it in a portable format (art. 20);
- object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interest, including the follow-up on your brief (art. 21);
- withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what was done before (art. 7(3)): use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.
Write to privacy@geeknauts.com. We answer within one month. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing.
7Complaints
If you think we process your data unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, Poland, uodo.gov.pl (opens in a new tab), or with the supervisory authority of the country where you live or work.
8Cookies and your browser’s storage
Our pages work without cookies. We keep one small item in your browser’s session storage, which is cleared when you close the tab: whether mission control’s greeting has already been typed for you (so it is not repeated). The campaign parameters (utm_…) of the link you came from stay only in the page’s memory and go with your brief if you send it from that page; if you agree to statistics or marketing in the cookie banner, we also keep them in session storage until you close the tab, so they are not lost when you move between our pages.
We use no statistics or advertising cookies.
Only with your consent, given in the cookie banner, we also use tools that set cookies:
- Google Analytics (statistics): the cookies _ga and _ga_…, which Google keeps for up to 2 years.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag (marketing): LinkedIn’s own cookies, listed in LinkedIn’s cookie policy.
Your choice is stored in your browser (local storage) for 12 months. You can change it at any time:
When you open the booking calendar, cal.com’s code runs in a window on this page and may use its own cookies or storage for the booking; Cal.com’s privacy policy describes them.
9How we protect your data
Our servers are in the European Union, every connection to this site is encrypted (HTTPS), and only the people who need your brief to answer you can access it.
10Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the site, the tools we use or the law change. The current version is always at geeknauts.com/privacy-policy, with the date of the last update at the top.
