Site visitors: purposes, legal bases, and data categories
IP address, technical logs, and podcast telemetry are processed for security, service operation, and aggregated statistics (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). Locale and theme are stored as functional preferences. We run no ad tracking and no visitor profiling.
Analytics
Traffic is measured with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies, no local storage and no fingerprinting. Only aggregate numbers are visible (page views, referrers, countries) — individual visitors cannot be identified.
Cookies and local storage
The site stores two purely functional items in your browser: a NEXT_LOCALE cookie remembering your language (English/Czech) and a theme entry in local storage remembering light or dark mode. Neither contains personal data, neither is shared with anyone, and no consent banner is legally required for them. The infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) may additionally set short-lived security cookies that protect the site from bots.
Podcast statistics
When you play an episode, the player sends an anonymous "play" or "completed" event that increments a counter for that episode. No user identifier, IP address, or listening history is stored.
Personal data in published content
AIskimIQ also processes personal data about the people it reports on — typically the names, roles, and public statements of technology-industry figures. That data comes from publicly available news sources discovered through web search, not from the individuals themselves. It is processed for journalistic purposes, relying on the exemption in GDPR Art. 85 as implemented in Czech law by Act No. 110/2019 Coll. Because the data is not obtained from the data subject and the activity is journalistic, we do not issue individual notifications under GDPR Art. 14 (Art. 14(5)).
If we have written about you
If you are named in published content and believe it is inaccurate, contact us at the address above. We correct factual errors and publish the correction in the Corrections section. You may also object to the processing; we will weigh any objection against freedom of expression and the public's right to information. The journalistic exemption does not relieve us of the duty to keep processing accurate and secure.
Retention
Security/operations logs are kept only as needed for defense and troubleshooting (typically up to 30 days). Aggregated podcast metrics are retained long-term without user identifiers. The published news archive is retained indefinitely as part of the journalistic record.
Recipients and processors
Infrastructure and analytics: Cloudflare. Hosting/database: Hetzner + Postgres. AI providers for content generation: Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai, Serper. Some providers may operate outside the EU.
Links to other services
Episodes are also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and you can support the project via Buy Me a Coffee. These are plain links to third-party services governed by their own privacy policies — nothing from those services is embedded on these pages.
International transfers
Where transfers to third countries occur, we rely on SCCs and other appropriate safeguards made available by providers.
Your rights
You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and complaint to a supervisory authority. These apply both to site visitors and to people named in published content; for journalistic processing some rights may be restricted under GDPR Art. 85 and Act No. 110/2019 Coll. Contact us using the details above.
