How OCTRA uses personal data on inspectedbymarko.com.

the short version

Summary

  1. Your email address gets the free skills. The newsletter goes out only if you tick the box and confirm.
  2. Call requests are used to reply, book the work and send the invoice. They are not added to any mailing list.
  3. The site remembers which pages you read only if you say yes through a link I email you, and forgets them when you ask.
  4. Analytics load only if you accept them.
  5. You can see, correct or delete your data at any time.

Who controls your data

This site is run by OCTRA, my company in Serbia. OCTRA decides how personal data is used here, which makes it the controller. In this notice, “we” means OCTRA.

The Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 87/2018) applies to everything we do here, because we are established in Serbia. The GDPR applies when we offer our services or send the newsletter to people in the European Economic Area, or measure how they use this site, and the UK GDPR does the same for the United Kingdom. We give everyone the same protection, wherever they are. The site is for adults: we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.

What we collect, and why

Visiting the site

What your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request and the time. A short link from a video, or a link in a video description, adds a tag that names the video, and the site notes the site that sent you. We keep these only if you then send a form.
Why to deliver the site, keep it secure, and see which videos bring people here.

The free skills and newsletter forms

What your email address, which form and page you used, the free skills you asked for and when, whether you ticked the newsletter box and when, the wording of the box you saw, the video or page that sent you, the country and time zone your connection comes from and your browser’s language (not your IP address), and whether and when you confirmed your address. When you download the file, the site host logs the request.
Why to send the free skills, to send the newsletter only if you ticked the box and confirmed, at a sensible hour and in your language, and to see which videos and pages bring people here.

Kit records the click on the button in the delivery email, which confirms your address and starts the download. If you subscribe to the newsletter, Kit also records which newsletters you open and which links you click, as the newsletter box says. If you ask for the skills again after losing the email, Resend sends the link once more. Right after you subscribe, the form asks whether the site may remember the pages you read (below). Saying nothing is no.

Pages you read, if you say yes

What which pages of this site you open, how many times, and when you first and last opened each; the site or video tag that sent you; and when you were last here. All of it next to your email address. It starts only if you ask for it in the note the form shows after you subscribe, then open the link I email you and say yes. A cookie in the browser where you say yes holds a random key, so the site knows it is you; other browsers and devices are not recognized. Nothing is kept until Kit has confirmed your newsletter subscription.
Why to send you the issues, skills and offers that fit what you read, and to leave out what you already have.

Saying nothing is no. Switch it off any time with Forget my visits in section 03, or write to me: the pages remembered are deleted at once. Unsubscribing from the newsletter ends it too.

The call request form, on the call page and Work with me

What what you need, whether your app has paying users, what is coming and when, what it is built with, your name and work email, and, if you give them, your company, its size and anything you add; with the source of your visit and what the page showed you next. If we agree on work, the details the invoice needs follow by email.
Why to reply, to show you the calendar or the right next step, to book the work, send the invoice and keep the records accounting and tax law require. Personal data inside your repository is not covered by this notice: we handle it only for your company, under section 11 of the audit terms.

The call booking

What your name, email, the time you pick and anything you write in the booking. Calendly collects this when the calendar opens after the call request form, with the source of your visit.
Why to hold the call you booked.

Emails you send me

What your messages and my replies.
Why to answer you.

Analytics and your choice

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which videos bring people here. It loads only if you accept analytics. If you refuse, nothing loads and nothing is stored. Google Analytics does not store your IP address, Google signals and advertising features are off, and we keep analytics data for 14 months. Its two cookies last up to 13 months, and the prompt asks again after 12 months.

The site sets cookies of its own only for remembering the pages you read, and only after you ask for it. Opening the link in my email sets one for an hour, which carries the link to the button below. Saying yes there sets two more: one holds a random key that no script on the page can read, the other tells the page the memory is on. Both last 13 months, and Forget my visits below deletes them. The call booking path loads Calendly’s calendar, which sets its own cookies and asks before it sets any it does not need.

Visit memory

Your choice

Said yes to visit memory? Forget it here: the pages remembered are deleted and no browser is recognized any more.

Switch it on in this browser?

The site keeps a list of the pages you read here, with dates, next to your email, so the newsletter fits what you read. A cookie in this browser does it, for 13 months. I use the list only to choose what I send you, and I share it with no one. Switch it off here any time.

Done. The site remembers what you read here, in this browser, while you get the newsletter.

Done. The pages remembered are deleted and no browser is recognized any more.

Nothing was remembered in this browser, so nothing changed. Said yes in another browser? Use this button there, or email me.

That link has expired or was used already. The offer comes back with your next signup.

That didn’t go through. Try again, or email me.

Tools that process data for us

We also share personal data with our bank and our accountant in Serbia, to receive payments and keep our books; with our lawyers and advisers when we need their advice; and with authorities when the law requires it. We do not sell personal data.

Transfers outside Serbia

We are established in Serbia. Neither the European Commission nor the United Kingdom has recognized Serbia as providing adequate protection. When you give us personal data directly, the GDPR or the UK GDPR still protects it, because those laws apply to us directly.

Kit, Calendly, Web3Forms, Cloudflare, Resend and Anthropic process data in the United States and other countries. Where the destination is not recognized as adequate, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum in their data processing terms, or on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension for certified providers, and for transfers under Serbian law on [the route counsel confirms under Articles 64 and 65 of the Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection]. For a copy of the safeguards, write to marko@inspectedbymarko.com.

Your rights

Your right to object to marketing. You can object at any time, free of charge, to our use of your data for the newsletter, and to the site remembering the pages you read. Use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter, Forget my visits in section 03, reply “stop”, or write to marko@inspectedbymarko.com, and we stop at once.

You can see, correct or delete your data at any time. You can also object to uses based on our legitimate interests, ask us to limit how we use it, take a copy, and withdraw consent without affecting what we did before. Write to marko@inspectedbymarko.com. We may ask you to confirm who you are. We answer within one month, free of charge, and tell you within that month if a complex request needs up to two more.

You can also complain to the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection in Serbia (poverenik.rs), to the data protection authority where you live or work in the European Economic Area, or to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom (ico.org.uk). Please write to us first, so we can fix it.

We make no decisions about you by automated means alone. If you are in the United States, you have the same rights wherever you live.
