All entities listed above process your data based on contracts for entrusting the processing of personal data concluded with us and guaranteeing an adequate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your information may be shared with a legal advisor or attorney who is bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise as a result of the need to use legal assistance, which necessitates access to your data.
Your personal information may also be transferred to tax offices to fulfill tax, accounting, and accounting obligations. It specifically refers to all declarations, reports, statements, and other accounting documents containing your data.
Furthermore, if necessary, your data may be made available to entities, bodies, or institutions authorized by law to obtain data access, such as the police, security services, courts, and prosecutor's offices.
Furthermore, we use tools that collect a large amount of information about you based on your use of our store. It is specifically about the following information:

This information, in our opinion, is not personal data in and of itself. Because this information is collected by external tools that we use, it is also processed by tool providers following their regulations and privacy policies. This information is primarily used to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, prevent fraud and abuse, and personalize the content and advertisements displayed on individual websites, sites, and applications. We attempted to describe the details in this regard in the following section of this policy, as part of the explanations for individual tools.
Yes, part of the processing of your data may involve their transfer to third countries.
We transfer your data to third countries as a result of the use of tools that store personal data on servers in third countries, particularly the United States. Suppliers of these tools ensure an adequate level of personal data protection through appropriate GDPR compliance mechanisms, such as joining the Privacy Shield program or using standard contractual clauses.
Personal data is stored on servers located in third countries using the following tools:
- Google services as part of the Google Workspace package, the provider of which is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland - in the scope of all data processed as part of Google services, including data contained in files synchronized with Google Drive.
- Trustpilot services, provided by Trustpilot, Inc. - in terms of information necessary to issue an optional review of our services.
Google Ireland Limited and Trustpilot, Inc. ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data through the use of compliance mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
We also want to remind you that we use third-party tools to collect information about you anonymously for us. This has been mentioned several times in this policy, including in response to a previous question. The providers of these tools frequently store the collected information on servers located all over the world, particularly in the United States of America (USA).
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 based on the information gathered as part of the tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions have little impact on you because they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, they do not affect the terms of the contract that you can enter into with us, and so on.
We can, for example, direct personalized advertisements to you based on your previous actions on our website or suggest products that may be of interest to you by using certain tools. I'm referring to so-called behavioral advertising. We encourage you to learn more about behavioral advertising, particularly as it relates to privacy concerns. You can find more information, as well as manage your behavioral advertising settings, here: http://www.youronlinechoices.com.
We emphasize that as part of the tools we use, we do not have access to information that would allow your identification. The information we are talking about here is, in particular:
- information about the operating system and the web browser you use,
- subpages viewed,
- time spent on the website,
- transitions between individual subpages,
- the source from which you go to our website,
- the age range you are in,
- your gender,
- your approximate location is limited to the city,
- your interests based on your online activity.
- the right to access your data and receive a copy of it,
- the right to rectify (correct) your data,
- the right to delete data (if in your opinion there are no grounds for us to process your data, you can request that we delete it),
- the right to limit data processing (you can request that we limit the processing of data only to their storage or performance of activities agreed with you, if, in your opinion, we have incorrect data or we process it unreasonably),
- the right to object to the processing of data (you have the right to object to the processing of data based on legitimate interest; you should indicate a specific situation that, in your opinion, justifies the termination of the processing covered by the objection; we will stop processing your data for these purposes, unless we prove, that the grounds for data processing by us override your rights or that your data is necessary for us to establish, assert or defend claims),
- the right to transfer data (you have the right to receive from us, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, personal data that you provided to us based on a contract or your consent; you can commission us to send this data directly to another entity),
- the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data, if you have previously given such consent,
- the right to complain with a supervisory authority (if you find that we are processing data unlawfully, you can file a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office or another competent supervisory authority).
The rules governing the implementation of the aforementioned rights are detailed in the article. 16 - 21 GDPR. We encourage you to become acquainted with these rules. For our part, we believe it is important to inform you that the aforementioned rights are not absolute, and you will not be able to engage in all activities related to the processing of your data.
We emphasize that you always have one of the rights listed above - if you believe we have violated the provisions on data protection while processing your data, you have the option of filing a complaint with the supervisory body (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).
