§10. ABSOLUTE RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

When we write about the rights relating to the processing of your personal data, we refer to the rights described below. The possibility of exercising the following rights is independent of the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

 

Right of accessstrong
You have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you. If this is the case, you have the right to access this data and to receive additional information about:

  • processing purposes,
  • categories of data concerned,
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations,
  • where possible, the intended period of data retention and, where this is not possible, the criteria for determining that period,
  • the right to request us to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your data, to object to such processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,
  • the source of the data, if your data was not collected from you,
  • automated decision-making, including profiling, and the modalities of such decision-making, as well as the significance and anticipated consequences of such processing for you.Upon receipt of such a request, we are obliged to provide a copy of the personal data being processed. If such a request is received electronically and if no other objection is received, we will also provide the information electronically.

 

Right of rectification
You have the right to request that we immediately rectify personal data concerning you that is inaccurate. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by providing an additional statement.

 

Right to erasure (to be forgotten)
You have the right to request us to delete personal data concerning you without delay. We are then obliged to delete the personal data without undue delay if one of the following circumstances applies:

  • you have withdrawn your consent to process your personal data and we have no other basis for processing it,
  • you have raised an effective objection to the processing of data concerning you,
  • Your personal data was processed unlawfully,
  • Your personal data must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation,
  • Your data has been collected in connection with the offering of information society services.

 

Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request us to restrict processing in the following cases:

  • where you question the accuracy of the data, for a period of time to allow us to check the accuracy of the data,
  • the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the data, requesting instead that its use be restricted,
  • we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them to establish, assert or defend your claims,
  • you have objected to the processing of your data – until it is determined whether the legitimate grounds on our side override the grounds for your objection.

 

Automated decisions, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision that is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, and produces legal effects on you or similarly significantly affects you.
The law does not apply if this decision:

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
  • is allowed by Union law or the law of the Republic of Poland and which provides for appropriate measures to protect your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or
  • is based on your explicit consent.

 

Right of action
You have the right to lodge a complaint in relation to the processing of your personal data, to the supervisory authority: President of the Office for the Protection of Personal Data, Stawki Street 2, 00-193 Warsow, tel. 22 531 03 00, fax. 22 531 03 01, e-mail: kancelaria@uodo.gov.pl.

 

§11. RELATIVE RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

When we write about the rights relating to the processing of your personal data, we refer to the rights described below. The possibility of using them depends on the legal basis for processing personal data in each case.

 

Right to withdraw consent to processing
Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent to do so, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Naturally, the withdrawal of the consent given does not affect the lawfulness of the previous processing of personal data.

 

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us, in a structured and commonly used machine-readable format. You also have the right to send this personal data to another controller without hindrance on our part if the processing takes place:

  • on the basis of consent or on the basis of a contract, and
  • in an automated manner.

When exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to request that we send your personal data directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically possible. This right must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Right to object
Where we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) RODO, you have the right to object to the processing of this data on grounds relating to your particular situation.
We are then no longer allowed to process this personal data unless we can demonstrate the existence:

  • valid, legitimate grounds for processing, such grounds being overridden by the interests, rights and freedoms of your person, or
  • grounds for the establishment, assertion or defence of claims.

Also, if you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, then we will not be able to process it for such purposes.

 

§12. COOKIES – INTRODUCTION

The Shop website uses cookies. These are commonly used, small files containing a string of characters that are sent to and stored on the end device (e.g. computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone) used when visiting the Shop. This information is sent to the memory of the browser used, which sends it back on subsequent visits to the website. We can categorise cookies according to three methods of division.

In terms of the purposes for which cookies are used, we distinguish between three categories:

  • Essential cookies – these cookies enable the website and its functionality to function properly, e.g. authentication or security cookies. Without their storage on your device, the use of the website will be impossible.
  • Analytics files – these files enable monitoring of web page views, traffic sources, time spent on the website. Without saving them, the use of the website’s functionality will not be restricted.

In terms of their duration of validity, we distinguish between two categories of cookies:

  • session files – existing until the end of a given session,
  • permanent files – existing after the session has ended.

In terms of differentiating the entity administering the cookies, we distinguish between:

  • our cookies,
  • third-party cookies.

 

§13. DATA CONTROLLER COOKIES

The cookies we administer allow:

  • access authentication,
  • maintaining the session after logging in,
  • securing the Shop against hacking attacks,
  • “remembering” by the browser the content of the fields of forms that are completed (optional),
  • “remembering” by the browser of items added to the basket.

This makes using the Shop’s functionality easier and more enjoyable.

 

§14. CONSENT TO THE USE AND MANAGEMENT OF COOKIES

With the exclusion of essential cookies, their processing is based on the user’s consent.

Consent to the processing of cookies is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. Please note, however, that if you do not consent to the use of certain cookies, this may result in restrictions on the use of the Shop and its functionality or even prevent you from using it.

You can give your consent to the processing of cookies:

  • by means of the software settings installed on the telecommunications terminal equipment used by the user,
  • by using the button containing a declaration of consent to the processing of cookies or confirming that you have read its terms and conditions,
  • using the settings available in the website area.

 

§15. CACHE

When you use the Shop website, we may automatically use the cache memory installed on your device. Within local storage, it is possible to store data inter-sessionally, i.e. between successive visits to the Shop’s website. The purpose of using a cache is to speed up the use of the Store by eliminating the situation where the same data would be repeatedly downloaded from the Store, thereby overloading the user’s Internet connection. The cache can also store data such as the login password.

 

§16. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES OR SOFTWARE

The shop may contain links to other websites or software. We are not responsible for the privacy and cookie processing policies of these websites or this software. We recommend that you read the privacy and cookie policies of these websites or software after accessing them or before installing them.

  2. The Privacy and Cookies Policy is amended by publishing its new content on the Shop’s website.
