  • for the period in which the Controller may incur legal consequences of non-compliance, e.g. be fined with an administrative penalty.

In order to perform a contract and to ensure the proper functioning of the Controller’s website, he uses the services of third parties cooperating with him (for example: postal services, couriers, payment service entities). Personal data is transferred to third parties only if and to the extent that makes it necessary to achieve the purpose of processing. Personal data provided to third parties may be used only for the purpose of the task ordered by the Controller.

Personal data may be provided to the following recipients cooperating with the Controller:

  • Subsidiaries of the getsix® Group – getsix Wrocław Sp. z o.o., getsix Poznań Sp. z o.o., getsix Szczecin Sp. z o.o., getsix Warszawa Sp. z o.o., getsix Katowice Sp. z o.o., getsix Services Sp. z o.o., getsix Polska Sp. z o.o. – to the extent necessary for the purposes resulting from the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, including internal administrative purposes,
  • entities conducting postal, courier and similar activities (e.g. courier brokers) – to the extent necessary to carry out the delivery and correspondence,
  • selected entities acting on behalf of the Controller when handling accounting, tax, advisory, legal and debt recovery matters (including entities purchasing debt) – to the extent necessary to carry out a specific purpose of processing,
  • entities providing technical assistance services provided to the Controller and IT solution providers enabling the Controller to operate (for example, software, e-mail and hosting providers) – the Controller provides personal data to the trusted provider acting on his behalf only in the case and to the extent necessary to carry out a specific purpose of processing,
  • providers of solutions which serve the purpose of expressing/publishing client opinions – to the extent necessary to express such opinions.

Personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (including the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) to Google LLC based on appropriate legal safeguards, which are standard contractual clauses of personal data protection, approved by the European Commission; see also point 9 Online Analysis.

The processing of personal data does not require any consent if, among other things: the processing is necessary to perform a contract, or take actions before a contract is concluded, results from a legal obligation of the Controller or is necessary to carry out the legitimate interest of the Controller. If the consent is necessary to be able to process personal data for a specific purpose, the Controller asks for such consent. The consent given can be withdrawn at any time.

In the event of withdrawal of consent, the data will no longer be processed to the extent that the consent was granted, but the withdrawal of the consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing, which was made on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

Pursuant to the principles set out in the Regulation, the data subject also has the right: to demand from the Controller access to the personal data relating to them, rectify it, delete it (“to be forgotten”) or limit its processing, to object to the processing, as well as to transfer such data.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, one can object at any time to the processing of this data for marketing purposes, including profiling, to the extent to which the processing is related to direct marketing.

In order to perform the above rights, an application should be submitted to the Controller by e-mail, letter or in person at the Controller’s office; Controller’s contact details can be found in point 2 above. To make sure that the person submitting the application is entitled to submit it, the Controller may ask for additional information confirming the identity of the person submitting.

The provisions of the Regulation indicate to what extent each of these rights can be used. This will depend in particular on the legal basis and purpose of personal data processing by the Controller. The above rights can be used free of charge not often than once per 6 months. In accordance with Article 12 of the Regulation, if the data subject’s demands are manifestly unjustified or excessive, in particular because of its continuing nature, the Controller may charge a fee.

The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory body, i.e. the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.

Using the Controller’s services and providing personal data to him is voluntary. However, the data subject is obliged to provide it in connection with:

  • concluding a contract with the Controller – in this case, providing personal data is a contractual condition and the data subject is obliged to provide the required data if they want to conclude a contract with the Controller. Each time, the extent of data required to conclude a contract is communicated to the data subject. Failure to provide this data results in failure to conclude such contract.
  • implementing the obligations arising from the provisions of law on the Controller – in this case, providing personal data is a statutory condition resulting from the provisions imposing on the Controller the obligation to process personal data (e.g. in connection with the obligation to issue, collect and store invoices and accounting documents and keep accounting books). Failure to provide this data will prevent the Controller from performing the indicated obligations, which will result in failure to conclude a contract.

Our newsletter is sent only to people who have given us consent to send it by providing their e-mail address. At any time, consent to receive the newsletter can be withdraw by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter sent or by contacting the Controller at the above address.

Necessary personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area due to the newsletter service provided by the Controller. The transfer is therefore necessary for the provision of services to the user. In such a case, the transfer of data takes place on the basis of appropriate safeguards in accordance with the provisions of personal data protection.

The Controller currently sends the newsletter using the MailChimp platform, therefore the recipient of your data is The Rocket Science Group LLC with the seat 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA.

This entity guarantees that personal data transferred to the United States of America is secure because they are protected under the EU-US agreement – see also Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016 pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (notified under document C(2016) 4176) (Text with EEA relevance)

By using the website, the User consents to the processing of their data by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

The website is analysed by Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()” and therefore the IP addresses are processed only in abbreviated form, which makes it impossible to directly link the address to a given User.

The consent to store and collect personal data can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

The data records saved in this way contain the following data: date and time of downloading, name of the page being opened, downloaded data volume, as well as information about the product version of the web browser used, IP address, reference website URL (the address of the website from which the user was redirected).

The server log file data records are analysed in order to remove errors, manage server performance, protect against DDoS attacks, and customize offers.

Personal data will not be used for automated decision-making that will cause legal effects for the data subject, including for profiling.

Controller’s websites may contain links to other websites. Such websites operate independently of the Controller and are not supervised by the Controller in any way.
