Purpose of processingDiscussion of the purpose of processingLegal basis
newsletter handlingWhen subscribing to the newsletter, you must provide the data necessary to receive it specified in the subscription form. Providing data is a prerequisite for receiving the newsletter. In addition, the system used to handle the newsletter saves your IP number that you used when subscribing to the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the e-mail client you use to handle e-mail and tracks your actions taken in connection with the messages sent to you. Messages. Therefore, I also have information about the messages you opened, the messages in which you clicked on links, etc. In the mailing system, we may 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 newsletters you receive. The data provided by you in connection with the subscription to the newsletter is used to operate the newsletter, which is my legally justified interest, which in this case, is the implementation of marketing objectives. Regarding 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 analysing the behaviour of newsletter subscribers in order to optimise mailing activities. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting me. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not lead to deleting your data from the mailing system. The data goes to the archive for the purpose of possible determination, investigation or defence of claims related to the newsletter, as well as to ensure the possibility of demonstrating that the newsletter activities were carried out in accordance with the law.Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data
comment supportWhen adding a comment on my website, you must provide the data necessary to publish the comment specified in the form intended for issuing a comment/opinion. Providing data is a condition for publishing a comment. In addition, the comment system saves your IP number that you used by submitting a comment. An external provider can operate the comment system. In such a situation, the use of the system is subject to the external supplier's regulations and privacy policy. Detailed information about third-party tool providers can be found in the section dedicated to the tools I use. The data is processed in order to publish a comment, which is my legitimate interest.

creating ad audience groupsYour e-mail address stored in my database may be sent to a specific advertising system (e.g. Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads) to create a group of advertising recipients using this e-mail address. When using this feature, the e-mail address is hashed before being sent to Facebook to form an audience. The e-mail address will be used in the matching process carried out by the respective advertising system.

4: What information do I have about you?

The scope of the processed data is described 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:

    • data collected in the mailing system,
    • data related to the added comment,
    • information visible in social media profiles,
    • information contained in correspondence,
    • Anonymous Information.

5: What is "Anonymous Information"?

Moreover, we use tools that collect a lot of information about you related to the use of our website. It concerns, in particular, the following information:
    • information about the operating system and web browser,
    • subpages viewed,
    • time spent on the page,

    • Your interests are based on your online activity.
    • video recordings of your sessions on my pages,
    • heat maps illustrating your behaviour on my pages.
This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Anonymous Information".Anonymous information by itself is not, in our opinion, personal information, as it does not allow us to identify you, and we do not match it with the typical personal information we collect about you. Nevertheless, taking into account the rigorous jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precautionary measure in the event that Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in this 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 of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From the level of Google Analytics and Facebook tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific people.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 basis of their regulations and privacy policies. Anonymous Information is also used by the providers of individual tools to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, as well as personalise the content and advertisements displayed on individual websites, sites and applications. Detailed information on this can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.

6: Where did I get your personal data from?

In most cases, you pass them on to us yourself. For example, this happens when you subscribe to the newsletter, contact via e-mail or chat, and use the functionalities available on the website or external services (e.g. social networks).In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools I use: Detailed information about third-party tool providers can be found in the section dedicated to the tools I use.

 7: Is the data safe?

I care about the safety of your personal information. We have analysed the risks associated with individual data processing processes and then implemented appropriate security and personal data protection measures. I monitor the condition of the technical infrastructure on an ongoing basis, train staff, observe the procedures applied, and introduce necessary improvements.

8: How long will I keep my personal data?

We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within a given purpose of personal data processing; therefore, the 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 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 I have completed all purposes and, in other cases, indicated in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.Below you will find a description of the processing periods:

If I process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw such consent at any time: either by your action or by contacting me at the contact details provided. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

9: Who are the recipients of personal data?

We risk saying that modern business is not able to do without services provided by third parties. I also use such services. Some of these services are related to the processing of your personal data. External service providers who are involved in the processing of your personal data are:

If necessary, your data may be made available to a legal advisor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the need to use legal assistance that requires access to your personal data.In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, bodies or institutions authorised to obtain access to data on the basis of legal provisions, such as the police, security services, courts, and public prosecutor's offices.Moreover, when it comes to Anonymous Information, the providers of tools or plugins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are independent administrators of the data collected in them and may share this data on the terms specified by them in their own regulations and privacy policies, over which I have no influence.

10: Do I transfer data to third countries or international organizations?

Yes, part of the processing of your personal data may involve their transfer to third countries.I transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools using resources located in third countries, in particular in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of protection of personal data through appropriate compliance mechanisms provided for by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.Currently, your personal data is transferred to third countries in connection with the use of the following solutions:

11: Do I use profiling?

We do not make decisions for you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which would have legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect you. Yes, we use tools that can take specific actions depending on the information collected as part of the tracking mechanisms. However, 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, which you can conclude with us, etc.By using certain tools, we can, for example, direct personalised advertisements to you based on your previous actions taken on the website or suggest products that may be of interest to you. I am talking about so-called behavioural advertising. We encourage you to learn more about behavioural advertising, in particular regarding privacy issues. Detailed information, along with the ability to manage your behavioural advertising settings, can be found here.
