Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR |
# 4: What information do we have about you?
We have described the scope of the processing precisely for each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found above in section 3 of the Privacy Policy.
# 5: What is "Anonymous Information"?
We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our website. This includes, in particular, the following information:
-
information about the operating system and web browser,
-
subpages viewed,
-
time spent on the site,
-
transitions between individual sub-pages,
-
clicks on individual links,
-
the source from which you go to the page,
-
the age range you are in,
-
your gender,
-
your approximate location limited to the respective locality.
-
your interests as determined by your online activity.
This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Anonymous Information".
Anonymous Information by itself does not, in our view, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow us to identify you and we do not collate it with the typical personal data we collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case the character of personal data is attributed to Anonymous Information, in the Privacy Policy we have also included detailed explanations regarding the processing of this information.
The processing of Anonymous Information allows us to provide you with the functionality available on the website. In addition, Anonymous Information is used for analytical and statistical purposes as well as for marketing purposes (e.g. creation of Custom Audience Groups on Facebook, setting up, targeting and directing of ads).
Anonymous information is also processed by tool providers under the terms of their terms of service and privacy policies. It may be used by these providers to provide, improve and manage our services, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalise the content and advertising displayed on individual services, websites and applications. Please see the section on the tools we use for more detailed information related to this.
# 6: How did we obtain your personal data?
In most cases, you provide them to us yourself. For example, this is the case when you contact us by e-mail and also when you use the functionalities available on the website or on external services (e.g. social networks).
In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools we use. Please see the section on the tools we use for details of the third-party providers' tools.
Furthermore, in exceptional cases, we may also obtain your personal data from other sources, e.g. when the entity that employs you indicates your data to us as a contact person for contractual matters, or when you represent an entity that enters into a contract with us.
# 7: Are your data safe?
We care about the security of your personal data. We analyse the risks involved in the various processes of processing your data and then implement appropriate security and personal data protection measures. We monitor the state of the technical infrastructure on an ongoing basis, train our staff, look at the procedures in place and make the necessary improvements.
# 8: How long will we keep your personal data?
We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within the framework of a given purpose for processing your personal data, and therefore processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Please note that the termination of the processing of your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete erasure or destruction of your personal data, as the same set of data may be processed for another purpose, for the period of time indicated for that purpose. Complete erasure or destruction of data occurs when we have completed all purposes and in other cases indicated in the GDPR.
Below you will find a description of the processing periods:
-
Correspondence handling - Data relating to correspondence handling will be processed for the duration of the correspondence between us;
-
Archive - Data related to the archive will be processed until the information contained in the archive is no longer relevant;
-
Determination, investigation and defence of claims - Data related to claims will be processed until the claims expire, whereby the period of limitation for claims may vary according to the applicable law (e.g. for businesses it may be 3 years and for consumers 6 years);
-
Social media - Data related to audience groups will be processed until you opt out of interacting with us on social media;
-
Analytics and statistics - Data related to analytics and statistics will be processed until they are no longer relevant or you successfully object;
-
Marketing activities - Data related to self-marketing will be processed until they are no longer relevant or you successfully object;
-
Organisation of promotional campaigns - We process data related to the organisation of promotional campaigns for the time necessary to carry out the promotional campaign;
-
Ancillary tools - Data related to ancillary tools will be processed until they are no longer useful or you successfully object;
-
Data Protection Obligations - Data relating to personal data protection will be processed until they are no longer relevant, you have successfully lodged an objection or the expiry of the limitation period of our liability as data controller.
Where we process your personal data on the basis of consent you have given, you may withdraw such consent at any time: either by your action or by contacting us at the contact details provided. Please note that withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that had been carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.
# 9: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
We would venture to say that modern business cannot do without services provided by third parties. We also make use of such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. Third-party service providers that are involved in the processing of your personal data are:
-
Hosting provider that stores data on the server;
-
Cloud service provider that stores files that may contain your personal data;
-
Provider of the CRM system in which we store your data to improve the customer service process and for archiving purposes;
-
Supplier of the invoicing system in which your data are stored for invoicing purposes;
-
Maintenance provider who gains access to the data if the technical work carried out relates to areas where personal data are held;
-
Other subcontractors who gain access to the data if the scope of their activities requires such access.
If the need arises, your data may be shared with a legal advisor or lawyer bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from a legal need requiring access to your personal data.
Your personal data may also be forwarded to the tax authorities to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of tax and accounting obligations. This includes, in particular, all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents containing your personal data.
In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, authorities or institutions entitled to access the data under the law, such as police, security services, courts, public prosecutors' offices.
Furthermore, when it comes to Anonymous Information, the providers of the tools or plug-ins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are their own controllers of the data collected by them and may share this data under the provisions they set out in their own terms and conditions and privacy policies, over which we have no control.
# 10: Do we transfer your data to third countries or international organisations?
Yes, part of the processing of your personal data may involve transfers to third countries.
We transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools that store personal data on servers located in third countries, in particular in the USA. The same may happen in the case of Anonymous Information. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of protection of personal data through the relevant compliance mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
# 11: Do we use profiling? Do we make automated decisions based on your personal data?
We do not make decisions to you that are based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects or similarly materially affect you. Yes, we do use tools that may take certain actions depending on the information collected through tracking mechanisms, but we consider that these actions do not materially affect you as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the contract you may enter into with us, etc.
Using certain tools, we can, for example, target you with personalised ads based on your previous activities on the website or suggest products that may be of interest to you. This is known as behavioural advertising. We encourage you to learn more about behavioural advertising, particularly with regard to privacy issues. You will find detailed information, including the possibility of managing your settings with regard to behavioural advertising, here.
# 12: What rights do you have in relation to the processing of your personal data?
The GDPR grants you the following potential rights in relation to the processing of your personal data:
-
The right to access and receive a copy of your data;
-
The right to rectification (amendment) of your data;
-
The right to erasure (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for us to process your data, you can request that we erase it);
-
The right to restrict processing (you can request that we restrict processing to only storing your data or carrying out activities agreed with you if, in your opinion, we have inaccurate data or are processing it unduly);
-
The right to object to processing (you have the right to object to processing on the basis of a legitimate interest; you should indicate the particular situation which you think justifies us stopping the processing covered by the objection; we will stop processing your data for these purposes unless we demonstrate that the grounds for our processing override your rights or that your data are necessary for us to establish, assert or defend our claims);
-
The right to data portability (you have the right to receive from us in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format the personal data you have provided to us on the basis of a contract or your consent; you can have this data sent directly to another entity);
-
The right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data if you have previously given such consent;
-
The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you find that we are processing your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint to the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection or any other competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the exercise of the rights indicated above are described in detail in Articles 16-21 of the GDPR. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with these provisions. For our part, we consider it necessary to explain to you that the rights indicated above are not absolute and you will not be entitled to them in relation to all processing activities of your personal data.
We emphasise that one of the rights indicated above is always available to you: if you consider that we have violated data protection regulations in the processing of your personal data, you have the possibility to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).
