7.) International data transfers

  • A transfer of personal data to third countries will only take place:
  • in the context of the use of Google Analytics on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Privacy Shield pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
  • in the context of the activation of the Youtube videos, if you have consented in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The servers of some of the service providers we use are located in the US and other countries outside the European Union. Companies in these countries are subject to a data protection law that generally does not protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the Member States of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognized high level of data protection such as the European Union, this is done on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission on the EU-US Privacy Shield according to Art. 45 GDPR or the EU standard contract 2010 pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR conjunction with the decision of the European Commission dated 05.02.2010 (2010/87/EU) or according to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Personal information that you publish on our Website or submit for publication on our Website may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.

8.) How long do we store your personal data?

The personal data we process will not be kept longer than it is necessary for this purpose or these purposes, i.e.:

  • for the purpose of answering your questions through the contact form: the personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after completion of the request made by you;
  • for the purposes for which we obtained them;  if the basis for processing is your consent (newsletter) – no longer than until it is withdrawn;
  • to perform contractual obligations, i.e. for the period necessary to register the transaction;
  • for the purpose of archiving accounting records for a period of 5 years.

Regardless of the above periods, your personal data may be processed by the Administrator for the purposes of establishing or pursuing claims by the Administrator as part of its activity, as well as defense against such claims – for the relevant limitation periods for such claims, i.e. in principle no longer than 6 years from the event giving rise to the claim.

As soon as your personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymized to the extent possible.

 

9.) Security of personal data

We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of the User’s personal data.

We will store all personal information you provide on our secure servers (firewalls, data encryption, physical access restrictions to our data centers, and permission controls to access data).

All electronic financial transactions made through our website will be protected by encryption technology.

The User acknowledges that the transmission of information over the Internet is potentially dangerous and the security of the data transmitted in this way is not guaranteed.

We guarantee the fulfillment of all your rights under the general data protection regulation, i.e. the right to access, rectify and delete your data, limit their processing, the right to transfer them, not to be subject to automated decision making, including profiling, and the right to object to processing your personal data.

You can exercise these rights:

  • in relation to the request for data rectification: you will notice that your data is incorrect or incomplete;

  • in relation to the request to limit the processing of data: you will notice that your data is incorrect – you can request the restriction of the processing of your data for a period that allows us to check the correctness of this data; your data will be unlawfully processed, but you will not want it to be deleted; your data will no longer be necessary for us, but you may need it to defend or pursue claims; or you object to the processing of data – until it is determined whether the legitimate grounds on our side override the grounds for objection;
  • in relation to a request for data transfer: the processing of your data takes place on the basis of your consent or a contract concluded with you and when this processing is carried out automatically.

You have the right to file a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data by us to the supervisory body, which is the Inspector General for Personal Data Protection [Generalny Inspektor Ochrony Danych Osobowych] (address: Generalny Inspektor Ochrony Danych Osobowych, Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw).

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data when:

  • the processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of a legitimate interest or for statistical purposes, and the objection is justified by your particular situation.

 

11.) Automated decision making, including profiling:

Your personal data will be processed in an automated manner (including in the form of profiling); however, it will not have any legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect your situation. Profiling of personal data by the Administrator consists in the processing of your data (also in an automated manner) by using it to evaluate certain information about you, in particular, to analyze or predict personal preferences and interests.
