Codeshift AI Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the Codeshift AI Community! This Privacy Policy explains how the Codeshift AI Community (the "Community") collects, uses, and protects your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Community is hosted on the Circle.so platform and operated by MOVEMEANT PRODUCTIONS sp. z o.o., a company registered in Poland (hereinafter "we," "us," or "our"). MOVEMEANT PRODUCTIONS sp. z o.o. is the data controller responsible for your personal data. Circle.so (CircleCo, Inc.) acts as a data processor on our behalf.

By accessing or using the Codeshift AI Community platform, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the Community. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information.

Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as some data automatically collected by our platform and tools. We do not collect any sensitive personal data (known as special category data under GDPR, such as information about health, ethnic origin, political beliefs, or similar sensitive information. The types of personal data we collect include:

Note: We do not intentionally collect any special categories of personal data about you (such as race, health, religious or political information), nor do we ask you to provide such information. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal details about yourself or others in your profile or posts. If you do so, that is your choice, and we will treat any such information as regular personal data under this Policy.

How We Use Your Personal Data (Purpose and Legal Basis)

We process your personal data only for specific purposes and in accordance with the lawful bases permitted by GDPR (Article 6). Below we explain what purposes we use data for and the legal basis for each:

We will not use your personal data for any purpose that is incompatible with the above purposes without first obtaining your consent or providing required notice. We do not use your data for any kind of automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you (no profiling or algorithms decide matters about you without human involvement). In summary, your data is used strictly to run and improve the Community services you expect, and not for unsolicited marketing or unrelated purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help operate our website and gather information. Our use of cookies and similar tracking is minimal and intended to ensure the Community platform functions correctly and to analyze usage for improvement.

Cookie Consent: When you first visit the Community, you will see a minimal cookie presence (only essential ones). By continuing to use the site, you are essentially agreeing to our use of cookies as described here. If in the future we implement a cookie consent banner (for example, if required by local law), we will update this Policy accordingly. You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies (especially essential ones) may affect the functionality of the platform (for example, you might not be able to stay logged in).

How We Share Personal Data (Subprocessors and Third Parties)

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We only share your data with trusted third parties who are our service providers (acting as data processors) or where necessary for legal compliance. These companies only process your data on our behalf and under our instructions, and they are all GDPR-compliant with appropriate safeguards in place. The key subprocessors and partners we use are:

Aside from the above subprocessors, the only other circumstances in which we might share personal data are:

No Other Sharing: We do not share your personal data with any advertisers or social media companies. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Data Retention Policy

We will retain your personal data for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, and in any case for as long as you maintain an account in the Codeshift AI Community. Specifically:

After the applicable retention periods or upon fulfilling the purposes, we will either securely erase your personal data or irreversibly anonymize it so that you are no longer identifiable. If you request it, we will provide confirmation once your personal data has been deleted or anonymized from our systems.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Some of the security practices we follow include:

We continually review and update our security measures to adapt to new threats and best practices. You also play a role in security: please use a strong, unique password for the Community and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

International Data Transfers

We are based in the European Union (Poland), and our policy is to process and store personal data within the EU whenever possible. In general, your data is stored on servers located in the EU. For example, our Supabase database and our self-hosted n8n instance are in EU data centers. However, some of our subprocessors or services may operate outside the EU or involve data transfers to other jurisdictions only as needed to provide the services:

We want to emphasize that other than the cases above, we do not transfer or store personal data outside the EU. In fact, our primary user data (profile info, posts, etc.) is mainly hosted by Circle, which we understand stores data on AWS servers that can include EU regions – and we have instructed that EU users’ data be stored in EU data centers whenever that option is available. All our own systems (like our databases and automation) are EU-hosted.

If in the future we need to transfer personal data to any other country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded by implementing at least one of these safeguards: (i) transferring to countries that the European Commission has deemed to have an adequate level of data protection, or (ii) using Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved transfer mechanisms, and (iii) where needed, implementing supplemental technical measures (like encryption) to protect data. You can contact us if you have questions about international data transfers or want to obtain a copy of the relevant safeguards in place.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a user of the Codeshift AI Community and a data subject under GDPR, you have a number of important rights regarding your personal data. We respect and uphold these rights. In summary, you have the right to:

Additionally, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time if we are processing your data based on consent. However, note that we are not currently processing any data based purely on consent (other than perhaps optional features like the AI usage which you control). If in the future we ask for consent (for example, for a new newsletter), you can always opt-out later.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have infringed your privacy rights (see "Complaints" section below). We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. These rights can be exercised free of charge (except in rare cases of excessive or unfounded requests, where the law allows charging a reasonable fee or refusing).

Managing Your Data and Exercising Your Rights

Accessing and Updating Your Profile: You can directly access, edit, or update most of your personal profile data by logging into the Codeshift AI Community and visiting your account settings. For example, you can update your name, email, avatar, and other profile details. If you encounter any issues or need to change information that is not editable by you (such as a wrong email address that prevents login), you can contact us for assistance.

Deleting Your Account: If you wish to delete your Community account and remove your personal data from our platform, you have a couple of options:

When your account is deleted, we will remove personal identifiers from the Community. As mentioned in Data Retention, content you posted may either be deleted or rendered anonymous (e.g. posts remain but attributed to an anonymous user). We will also delete any associated data in our auxiliary systems (Supabase, n8n workflows, etc.) and ensure Stripe cancels any active subscriptions. If you have made payments, we might retain transactional records as required by law, but these records will be kept only for that purpose and not used otherwise.

Other Rights Requests: If you want to exercise any other rights (access, rectification, restriction, objection, portability, etc.), please contact us with your request. You can email us with the specifics of what you want to do (for example, "I would like a copy of all my personal data that you have," or "I object to you processing my data for analytics"). For access requests, we will provide you a summary of the data and/or a full export in a common format (likely JSON or CSV files). For portability requests, we can provide the data in a structured CSV or JSON that you could import into another service. For objections or restrictions, we will evaluate and comply as required by law.

We will respond to rights requests as soon as possible, and in any case within one month. If we need an extension, we will inform you of the reason and the extended deadline (which will not exceed an additional two months). If we decide not to act on your request (which can happen only in limited circumstances, such as a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive), we will inform you of the reason and your options (including the ability to complain to the supervisory authority).

For your security and privacy, we may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling a request for access, deletion, etc. For example, we might require you to send the request from the email associated with your account or ask you to confirm some information we have on file. This is to prevent someone else from impersonating you.

Supervisory Authority and Complaints

If you have any concerns or complaints about how we handle your personal data, we hope you will reach out to us first so we can address the issue. However, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. We are regulated by the Polish supervisory authority:

The UODO is the Polish data protection authority (www.uodo.gov.pl). You can contact them or file a complaint if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully or if we haven’t adequately addressed your concerns. If you reside or work in another European Economic Area country, you may instead contact your local supervisory authority. A list of national data protection authorities is available on the European Data Protection Board’s website.

Contact Us (Data Controller Contact Information)

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, or wish to contact us for any reason related to your personal data, please do not hesitate to reach out:

When contacting us, please provide enough information for us to assist you (for example, your username or the email you used to sign up, and the specific request or question you have). We will do our best to respond quickly – typically within a few business days.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. If we make material changes, we will notify members by posting the updated policy on our site and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. In case of significant changes (for example, if we start collecting new types of data or introduce a new purpose), we might also provide a more prominent notice or ask for your consent if required by law.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Continuing to use the Community after a change to the policy will signify your acceptance of the updated terms.

Thank you for being a part of the Codeshift AI Community and for reading our Privacy Policy. We are dedicated to creating a safe and respectful environment for all members, and that includes respecting your data privacy. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding privacy, please contact us. Your trust is important to us, and we will always strive to protect it.
