Last updated: 14 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how geist intelligence (“geist”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit geist8.com or get in touch with us. We handle your data lawfully, transparently and only for the purposes described below.

1. Who is responsible

The controller responsible for your data is geist intelligence, a US-registered company.

Email: info@geist8.com

Full registered company details are available on request via the email above.

2. What data we collect

Contact form. When you send us a message we collect the name, email address, company (optional) and message you provide, together with the site language you used.

Technical data. To protect the form against abuse, our servers briefly process your IP address for rate limiting. This is held only in memory and is not stored permanently.

We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not build profiles of visitors.

3. Cookies & local storage

Both are strictly functional, set no tracking identifiers and are not shared with third parties. Because we set no marketing or analytics cookies, no consent banner is required.

  • geist-theme (local storage) — remembers your light/dark preference.
  • geist-locale (cookie, 1 year) — remembers your language choice so we can show the right version of the site.

4. Why we use your data & legal basis

  • To respond to your enquiry and take steps towards providing our services — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6(1)(f) (our legitimate interest in answering enquiries).
  • To keep the contact form secure against spam and abuse — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Who we share data with

We use the following processors, who handle data on our behalf under data-processing agreements:

  • Supabase — database hosting; stores your contact submission.
  • Resend — email delivery; sends us a notification of your enquiry.
  • Vercel — website hosting and infrastructure.

6. International data transfers

geist is a US-based company and some of the providers above process data in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. We apply GDPR-level protection to enquiries from the EEA and UK regardless of where you are located.

7. How long we keep it

We keep contact submissions only for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period, after which they are deleted.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. You may withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@geist8.com.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
