During a visit to the website, data relating to the visit itself are collected automatically, such as the User’s IP address, domain name, browser type, operating system type, etc. (log data). Automatically collected data may be used to analyze Users’ behavior on the website, collect demographic data about Users, or personalize website content in order to improve it. However, such data are processed exclusively for the purposes of administering the website, ensuring efficient hosting services, or delivering marketing content, and are not associated with the Personal Data of individual Users. More information about cookies can be found in the further sections of this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data may also be collected for the purpose of completing forms available on the website, as described in the further sections of this Privacy Policy.

WHAT RIGHTS DOES THE USER HAVE?

At any time, the User is entitled to the rights set out in Articles 15–21 of the GDPR, including:

the right to access their Personal Data,
the right to data portability,
the right to correct Personal Data,
the right to rectification of Personal Data,
the right to erasure of Personal Data where there are no legal grounds for further processing,
the right to restriction of processing where processing has been carried out unlawfully or without a legal basis.
the right to object to the processing of Personal Data carried out on the basis of the legitimate interests of the Controller,
the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority – the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Act), if the User considers that the processing of their Personal Data violates the applicable data protection laws,
the right to be forgotten, where further processing is not required under the applicable provisions of law.

The Controller notes that these rights are not absolute and do not apply to all processing activities of the User’s Personal Data. This applies, for example, to the right to obtain a copy of Personal Data. The exercise of this right may not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, such as intellectual property rights or professional secrecy. For detailed information on the limitations of the User’s rights, reference is made to the provisions of the GDPR.

However, the User always has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority – the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, phone: +48 22 531 03 00, e-mail: kancelaria@uodo.gov.pl, if the User considers that the processing of their Personal Data infringes the provisions of the GDPR or other applicable laws relating to the processing of Personal Data.

In order to exercise their rights, the User may contact the Controller via e-mail at: kontakt.michal.gil@gmail.com or in writing to the address of the Controller’s place of business, if provided in this Privacy Policy, specifying the scope of their request. A response will be provided no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the request and its justification, unless an extension of this period is justified in accordance with the GDPR.

CAN THE USER WITHDRAW THEIR CONSENT?

If the User has given Consent to a specific activity, such Consent may be withdrawn at any time. This will result in the removal of the User’s e-mail address from the Controller’s mailing list and the cessation of the activities covered by the Consent (in the case of processing based on Consent).

The User may also withdraw their Consent by submitting a statement to the Controller’s e-mail address or to the address of the Controller’s place of business, if provided in this Privacy Policy. The withdrawal of Consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of Consent before its withdrawal.

In certain cases, Personal Data may not be completely erased and may be retained for the purpose of defending against potential claims, for a period required under applicable law, in particular the Polish Civil Code, or for the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations imposed on the Controller.

In each case, the Controller will address the User’s request and provide an appropriate justification for any further actions resulting from legal obligations.

Does the Controller transfer the User’s data to third countries?

The User’s Personal Data may be transferred outside the European Union to so-called third countries.

b) the application of standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission,
c) the application of binding corporate rules approved by the competent supervisory authority,
or to recipients to whom the User has given their explicit consent for the transfer of Personal Data.

However, Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these providers to obtain up-to-date information regarding the protection of Personal Data. MailerLite may store certain Personal Data in the United States or use service providers located in that country; however, Personal Data is processed primarily within the European Union.

HOW LONG DOES THE CONTROLLER STORE THE USER’S DATA?

It may only help to better tailor content and advertisements to the User’s interests.

The information used is anonymous and is not linked to Personal Data provided by the User, for example during the purchase process. It is derived from statistical data such as gender, age, interests, approximate location, and behaviour on the Website.

Each User has the right to object to profiling if it were to have a negative impact on the User’s rights or obligations.
