Privacy information

Updated: 2 November 2026.

Who runs this website

The controller of personal data processed through this website is Piotr Jurkowski, operating under the Sailing Is Learning brand. Contact about privacy and your data: jurkowskipiotr1@gmail.com.

Optional website analytics

With your consent, Google Analytics 4 helps us understand which guides and services are useful. It measures page visits, clicks on PDF links, video playback and clicks on contact links. A contact click is not treated as an enquiry or a booking. The purpose is to improve the website and evaluate how people find our services.

Analytics may process a browser identifier, visited page paths, referral sources, browser and device information and interaction events. Our measurement code removes query strings and fragments from page URLs and does not send phone numbers, email addresses, message contents or contact-link subjects as event parameters. Google also receives technical connection data, including your IP address.

Analytics is based on your voluntary consent. Google Analytics is loaded only after you allow analytics. Advertising storage, advertising personalisation and Google Signals are disabled in our website configuration. Rejecting analytics does not restrict access to articles, PDF files, videos or contact details.

Cookies and changing your choice

The sil_analytics_consent cookie remembers your choice for up to 180 days. It is used only to remember that preference. After consent, Analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_* may also be set, with a configured lifetime of up to 180 days.

To grant or withdraw consent, use “Analytics preferences” in the footer and choose Allow or Reject. Withdrawal disables measurement and clears accessible Analytics cookies in this domain; the page reloads to stop the loaded analytics scripts. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it. If your browser blocks preference cookies, you may be asked again on another page.

Google and video playback

Google Analytics and YouTube are services provided by Google, including Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. Processing may involve infrastructure outside the European Economic Area, subject to the safeguards described by Google. More information: How Google uses data from partner websites and Google Privacy Policy.

YouTube players are loaded when you choose to play a video, using the youtube-nocookie.com domain. Playing a video or following a link to YouTube connects your browser to that service. YouTube processes connection and playback data under its own policies. Our additional analytics of playback is used only if you have allowed website analytics.

Contact and website operation

When you email or call Piotr, the information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, arrange and perform the requested service. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information. Hosting and email providers may process technical and correspondence data needed to operate these services. This website is hosted using Cloudflare Pages. Opening external booking or social links takes you to services with their own privacy policies.

The “Write in Gmail” link opens an email draft in Google’s service with Piotr’s public address and the selected enquiry topic. Opening the contact page does not send an enquiry. You send the message yourself in your email service. The copy button copies only the public email address to your clipboard.

Enquiry form

The form saves your optional name, email address, selected topic, language, message and submission time in Piotr’s private Google Sheets register. Google Apps Script sends a notification to his Gmail inbox. These details are used to respond to your request and, where applicable, prepare a service. Cloudflare Turnstile checks technical connection and browser information to protect the form from automated abuse. Form access and delivery do not depend on analytics consent.

Correspondence is kept for the time needed to handle the enquiry, continue any agreed cooperation and meet applicable obligations. The register is not public. Enquiries are not used to subscribe you to marketing. Message contents are not sent to Google Analytics. Google and Cloudflare may process data outside the EEA under their published data protection terms. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Your rights

Depending on the applicable legal conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data, and object to processing. You may withdraw analytics consent at any time. Send data-related requests to the contact address above. You may also lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority: President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
