Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 21, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Potacium handles personal data when you visit potacium.com, submit an inquiry, or discuss potential consulting services with us. It is written for a Europe-facing audience, including visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
This page is a practical privacy notice for the website and early consulting inquiries. Paid client work may be covered by a separate agreement, statement of work, data processing addendum, or confidentiality terms.
Who Is Responsible For Your Data
Potacium is the controller for personal data collected through this website and inquiry process. You can contact Potacium about privacy matters by using the contact form on the home page.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect only the information needed to understand and respond to inquiries:
- Contact details you provide, such as name, work email address, and company name.
- Inquiry details, including service area, business context, technical needs, and message content.
- Basic technical information that may be processed by hosting infrastructure, such as IP address, browser, device, pages requested, timestamps, and security logs.
- Business communications if you continue a conversation with Potacium after submitting an inquiry.
Please do not submit secrets, credentials, production data, regulated personal data, special category data, or confidential client materials through the website form.
How We Use Personal Data
- To respond to inquiries and evaluate whether Potacium can help.
- To prepare discovery discussions, proposals, statements of work, and engagement plans.
- To operate, secure, monitor, and improve the website.
- To maintain business records and comply with legal, tax, accounting, and dispute-resolution obligations.
- To protect Potacium, prospective clients, clients, systems, and services from misuse or security threats.
Legal Bases For Processing
Where the GDPR or similar European privacy laws apply, Potacium relies on the following legal bases:
- Pre-contractual steps: responding to inquiries and discussing possible services.
- Legitimate interests: operating the website, improving services, securing systems, and managing business communications.
- Legal obligation: keeping records required for legal, tax, accounting, or compliance purposes.
- Consent: where consent is specifically requested, such as for optional marketing or non-essential cookies.
Cookies And Analytics
The current static website does not intentionally use analytics cookies, advertising pixels, or behavioral tracking cookies. If Potacium adds analytics, advertising, embedded media, or other non-essential cookies later, this policy should be updated and the website should request consent where required.
How The Contact Form Works
The current contact form opens a prepared message in your own email application. You control whether that message is sent. If the site later uses a hosted form or customer relationship management system, this policy should be updated to describe the provider and retention practices.
Sharing And Service Providers
Potacium does not sell personal data. We may share limited personal data with trusted service providers that help operate the website, deliver communications, secure systems, provide professional services, or maintain business records. We may also disclose data where required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or property.
International Transfers
Potacium may process or store personal data outside your country or region, including outside the EEA, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. Where required, Potacium will use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent transfer mechanisms.
Retention
Potacium keeps personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Inquiry data is typically retained for up to 24 months unless a client relationship begins, you ask for earlier deletion, or a longer period is required for legal, security, accounting, or dispute-resolution reasons.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, use the contact form on the home page and clearly describe the right you want to exercise.
If you are in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Security
Potacium uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive operational details through the public website form.
Children
This website is intended for business users and is not directed to children. Potacium does not knowingly collect personal data from children through this website.
Changes To This Policy
Potacium may update this Privacy Policy as services, website features, providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
