#2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of personal data?
As part of the implementation of the personal data protection system in our organization, we decided not to appoint a personal data protection officer due to the fact that in our situation it is not mandatory.
In matters related to the protection of personal data and broadly understood privacy, you can contact us at the e-mail address [email protected]. In the field of social media, you can additionally contact directly the administrators of social networking sites where we run our profiles.
# 3: For what purposes do we process personal data?
There are more than one of these goals. Below is a list of them, along with a more detailed discussion. We have also assigned appropriate legal grounds for processing to individual purposes:
Order fulfillment and contract management
“When placing an order, you must provide the data necessary for its implementation specified in the order form.
Providing data is a condition for placing an order.
In addition, the system used to handle the order process saves your IP number that you used when placing the order. Each order is saved in the database, which means that your personal data assigned to the order is also accompanied by information about the order, such as date and time of placing the order, order identification number, transaction ID, subject of the order, price, method and date of payment, date and time downloads (for digital content).
In connection with the conclusion of the contract, it may also process your other personal data also in order to perform the services provided for in the contract that has been concluded. The scope of this data depends on which personal data is needed for the performance of the contract.
In a situation where we receive your data as part of the performance of the contract, e.g. from the entity that employs you, we base such data processing on a legitimate interest, which in this case is ensuring efficient and effective service of the concluded contract. In this case, we may process your identification data and contact details.
The data is processed in order to conclude and perform the contract. After the contract is performed, the data is stored in the archive for the purpose of possible determination, investigation or defense of claims related to the contract. The data is also included in the accounting documentation for the purposes of fulfilling tax obligations.
Actions taken to complete orders by customers
“Due to the fact that some customers start placing an order but do not finalize it (they do not approve the order and do not enter into a contract with us), we can take actions that will serve our customers to complete the purchase process.
For this purpose, we may, for example, send e-mails containing information about an unfinished order and an encouragement to complete the transaction.
For the purposes of the activities described, we may process personal data such as information provided when placing an order, in particular your name and surname and e-mail address, as well as information about the contents of the basket, the date of commencement of the transaction and other data left in connection with the commenced purchase process .
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR, because these activities are aimed at concluding a contract. In addition, we see the basis for processing in our legitimate interest, which in this case is increasing sales. “
Handling complaints or withdrawal from the contract
If you submit a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you provide personal data contained in the content of the complaint or statement of withdrawal from the contract.
Providing data is a condition for submitting a statement of withdrawal from the contract or a complaint.
The data is processed in order to handle the process of withdrawing from the contract or the complaint process. After the completion of such a process, the data is stored in the archive for the purposes of possible determination, investigation or defense of claims related to the handling of the withdrawal from the contract or complaint process. The data is also included in the accounting documentation for the purposes of fulfilling tax obligations.
Newsletter service
By subscribing to the newsletter, you must provide the data necessary to receive it specified in the subscription form.
Providing data is a condition for receiving the newsletter.
In addition, the mailing system saves your IP number that you used when subscribing to the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the mail client you use to handle e-mail and tracks your actions taken in connection with the messages sent to you. Therefore, we also have information about which messages you have opened, in which messages you have clicked on links, etc.
In the mailing system, we can also define, based on various criteria related to your activity, interests or other preferences, specific groups or segments of newsletter recipients that affect what kind of messages you receive as part of the newsletter.
The data provided by you in connection with the subscription to the newsletter are used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for their processing is the performance of the contract for the provision of electronic services, as well as our legitimate interest, which in this case is the implementation of marketing purposes.
As for the processing of information that does not come from you and has been collected automatically by the mailing system, we rely in this respect on our legitimate interest in analyzing the behavior of newsletter subscribers in order to optimize mailing activities.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent as part of the newsletter, or simply by contacting us.
Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not lead to the removal of your data from the mailing system. The data is stored in the archive for the purpose of possible determination, investigation or defense of claims related to the newsletter, as well as to ensure the possibility of demonstrating that the newsletter activities were conducted in accordance with the law.
Handling Reviews
When adding a comment / opinion, you must provide the data necessary to publish the comment / opinion and receive it specified in the form intended for comment / opinion.
Providing data is a condition for the publication of a comment / opinion.
In addition, the comment/feedback system saves your IP number that you used to submit your comment/feedback.
The comment/feedback system may be operated by a third party provider. In such a situation, the use of the system is subject to the regulations and privacy policy of the external provider. Detailed information on third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.
The data is processed in order to publish a comment / opinion, which is our legitimate interest.
The comment or opinion you added along with your data made public as part of the settings will be visible on the website. You can modify or delete a comment or opinion at any time. The deleted comment/opinion together with your data goes to the archive for the purpose of possible determination, investigation or defense of claims related to the comment/opinion.
Contact and correspondence service
By contacting us via available means of communication, e.g. e-mail, social messengers, chats, etc., you naturally provide your personal data contained in the content of correspondence.
Providing data is a condition for establishing contact.
In addition, the communication system saves your IP number that you used when sending the message.
The communication system (e.g. chat, messenger) may be operated by an external provider. In such a situation, the use of the system is subject to the regulations and privacy policy of the external provider.

When using this feature, the email address is hashed before it is sent to the respective system to create a group of recipients.
The e-mail address will be used in the matching process conducted by the respective advertising system.
The advertising system does not share the email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the email address immediately after the matching process is completed.
The advertising system implements processes and procedures that ensure confidentiality and security of the e-mail address sent to it and the set of user IDs that make up the group of recipients created using the e-mail address, among others, by using technical and physical security measures.
Creating a group of advertising recipients using your e-mail address is our legitimate interest, which in this case is the implementation of our marketing goals.

If you follow our profiles on social media or interact with the content we publish on social media, we naturally see your data that is publicly available on your social profile. We process this data only within a given social network and only for the purpose of operating a given social network, which is our legitimate interest.

Detailed information on third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.
Implementation of obligations related to the protection of personal data
As the administrator of personal data, we are obliged to fulfill the obligations related to the protection of personal data. Therefore, we may process your personal data as long as it is necessary to perform these duties (e.g. in the case of processing your request regarding your personal data). The scope of data depends on what data we need to fulfill the obligation and prove compliance with the GDPR. In addition, in this case, we also rely on our legitimate interest, which consists in securing the data necessary to demonstrate accountability.
#4: What information do we have about you?
We have described the scope of the processed data in relation to each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found above, in point 3 of the Privacy Policy. The data includes information such as:

We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to the use of our website. This includes in particular the following information:

This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Anonymous Information”.
Anonymous Information itself does not, in our opinion, have the nature of personal data, because it does not allow us to identify you and we do not compare it with typical personal data that we collect about you. Nevertheless, taking into account the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinion among lawyers, as a precaution, in the event that Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of this information.
We are unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you as we cannot assign any Anonymous Information to any specific user. From the level of tools collecting Anonymous Information, we can only view a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific persons.
The processing of Anonymous Information allows you to use the functionalities available on the website. In addition, Anonymous Information is used for analytical, statistical and marketing purposes, such as setting and targeting advertisements.
Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers on the terms resulting from their regulations and privacy policies. They may be used by these providers to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, as well as personalize the content and advertising displayed on individual services, sites and applications. Detailed information related to this can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.
#6: Where do we get your personal information from?

In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools we use. Detailed information on third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.
In exceptional cases, we may also obtain your personal data from other sources, e.g. when the entity that employs you indicates your data as a contact person in matters related to the concluded contract, or when you represent an entity that concludes a contract with us .
#7: Is the data safe?
We care about the security of your personal data. We have analyzed the risks associated with individual processing of your data, and then implemented appropriate security and personal data protection measures. We monitor the condition of the technical infrastructure on an ongoing basis, we train the staff, we look at the procedures used, and we introduce the necessary improvements.
#8: How long will we keep personal information?
We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within the given purpose of personal data processing, therefore the processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Remember that the end of the processing of your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete deletion or destruction of your personal data, because the same set of data may be processed for another purpose, for the period indicated for it. Complete deletion or destruction of data takes place when we complete the implementation of all purposes and in other cases indicated in the GDPR.

Yes, we use tools that can take specific actions depending on the information collected as part of tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions do not have a significant impact on you, because they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the contract that you can contract with us, etc.
Using certain tools, we can, for example, direct personalized advertisements to you based on your previous actions on a given Website or suggest products that may interest you. This is the so-called behavioral advertising. We encourage you to deepen your knowledge of behavioral advertising, in particular in terms of privacy issues. Detailed information, including the ability to manage settings in the field of behavioral advertising, can be found here.
