Privacy Policy

Who I am

I operate under the trading name CMYSZ.

Data Controller:

Cezary Myszkowski (trading as CMYSZ)

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact me directly via the details on this website.

What data I collect

Depending on how you interact with me, I may collect:

• Contact information (such as your name, email address, phone number)
• Business or project information you choose to share
• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, and device information
• Communications between us (emails, messages, meeting notes)
• Account access details or credentials, where required for agreed work
• Information related to email updates and subscriptions, including your name, email address, selected preferences, subscription status, consent and unsubscribe records, and email engagement data such as opens and clicks

I only collect data that is necessary for legitimate business, legal, operational, or communication purposes.

How I use your data

Your data may be used to:

• Respond to enquiries or booking requests
• Deliver agreed services
• Manage projects, billing, and administration
• Improve how I work and communicate
• Send email updates where you have subscribed or given consent
• Manage your email preferences, confirmation emails, unsubscribe requests, and subscription status
• Understand whether emails are being delivered, opened, and interacted with
• Meet legal, regulatory, or tax obligations

I do not sell personal data or use it for unrelated marketing purposes.

Email updates and Preferences

If you choose to receive email updates from me, I may collect and use your name, email address, subscription status, consent records, selected preferences, and related email interaction information.

Where preference options are available, I may use them to tailor the updates you receive and avoid sending content that is not relevant to your interests.

I use website tools and plugins to manage subscriptions, confirmation emails, preference settings, unsubscribe requests, and automated email updates.

If you subscribe through a form, comment form, user account, or other feature on the website, the information you provide may be used to create or manage your subscription, where you have chosen to subscribe or where this is otherwise made clear at the point of collection.

Emails sent through the website may include basic email analytics, such as whether an email was opened, whether links were clicked, and which links were interacted with. Links may also include tracking parameters so I can understand which emails or updates led visitors to the website.

This information is used to understand whether emails are useful, improve future communications, troubleshoot delivery issues, and avoid sending irrelevant content.

Legal basis for processing

I process personal data under one or more of the following lawful bases:

• Performance of a contract or steps taken prior to entering one
• Legitimate interests in operating and improving my services
• Legal obligations
• Consent, where explicitly given

Email updates are sent on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe or manage-preferences links included in emails, or by contacting me directly.

Confidentiality and data security

All client data is treated as confidential.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, or disclosure. Access to sensitive information is limited to what is strictly necessary to deliver services.

Where third-party tools or platforms are used, they are selected with care and used in line with their own data protection obligations.

Data retention

Personal data is only retained for as long as necessary to:

• Fulfil the purpose for which it was collected
• Meet legal, regulatory, or insurance requirements
• Resolve disputes or enforce agreements
• Manage subscriptions, preferences, consent records, and unsubscribe requests

Subscription and email preference information is retained for as long as you remain subscribed.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Sharing data with third parties

Your data may be shared only where necessary, for example with:

• Service providers supporting delivery of agreed work
• Accountants, insurers, or legal advisers where required
• Technology platforms used to manage communication or collaboration

Email subscription data is kept private and never shared or used for anything other than the purpose previously described.

Data is never shared unnecessarily or for unrelated purposes.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data, where applicable
• Object to or restrict processing in certain circumstances
• Withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis

Requests can be made by contacting me directly.

Cookies & Analytics

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

I use a privacy-friendly analytics tool to understand how visitors interact with the website (for example, which pages are visited and how the site is used). This analytics tool operates without setting cookies and does not track users across websites.

The data collected through website analytics is aggregated and anonymised and is used solely to help improve the performance, usability, and content of the website. No personally identifiable information is collected through this process.

Separate from website analytics, emails sent through my website may include email analytics, such as open and click information, to help me understand whether emails are being delivered and whether the content is useful.

Because no cookies are used for website analytics, a cookie consent banner is not required for website analytics.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this website.
