3. Data We Collect & Why
A. On Our Website
We use Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate page usage without cross-site tracking or personal advertising profiles. Our servers may also temporarily log standard technical data (IP address, browser type, timestamp) strictly to ensure security and prevent cyber attacks. These logs are automatically overwritten and are not used to identify you.
B. Cookies and Plausible Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics in a privacy-friendly way. Plausible does not use cookies, does not create personal profiles, and does not track visitors across websites. The analytics data we receive is aggregated and helps us understand basic usage, such as which pages are visited and which referrers send traffic. The selected language is part of the page URL. On your first visit to the homepage, we use your browser language preferences to choose an available version. If you select a language in the menu, we store that choice in your browser local storage for future visits. This preference is used only for language selection.
C. Google Analytics 4
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure visits and interactions. It uses cookies and sends usage data to Google. It is not loaded before consent. You can refuse or withdraw consent through Analytics settings. Advertising features are disabled.
D. During Client Communication
Because we provide custom automation architecture, we collect data when you voluntarily contact us via email, phone, or messaging platforms to discuss a project. This includes:
- Your name, email address, and phone number.
- Information about your business workflows and software stack.
Purpose: We use this data exclusively to communicate with you, provide technical consultations, and deliver our services.
Legal Basis: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
4. How We Store Your Data
Your data is stored securely on our self-hosted, containerized servers located within the European Union. We utilize encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) for all web traffic. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
5. Third-Party Processors
To build intelligent automations, we may utilize third-party tools (such as n8n for workflow routing or LLM providers for AI processing). We only partner with platforms that offer strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) ensuring your data is not used to train public AI models. If a project requires data to be processed outside the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
6. Your GDPR Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification: Request that we correct any inaccurate data.
- Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Request that we delete your data from our systems.
- Restriction: Request that we limit how we process your data.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at peter@automatehq.eu. We will respond and execute your request within 30 days.
