2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?

As part of the implementation of personal data protection in my organization, a decision was made not to appoint a Data Protection Officer due to the fact that in my situation it is not mandatory. For matters related to data protection and privacy more broadly, you can contact me by email at kontakt@emocjewnaturze.pl

3: What information do I have about you?

Depending on the purpose, I may process the following information about you:

name,
residential address,
business address,
tax ID no,
e-mail address,
telephone number,
data contained in e-mail correspondence,
details of orders placed in the online store,
IP address,
bank account number,
statistics related to newsletters received,
favorite email client,
interests in specific topics,
content of comments / opinions added to the site.

We have described the scope of the processed data precisely for each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found later in this policy.

Moreover, I use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of my website. This includes, in particular, the following information:

Your gender,
Your approximate location limited to your locality.
Your interests as determined by your online activity.
This information is referred to hereafter in this privacy policy as „Anonymous Information”.

The Anonymous Information in itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.

Since Anonymous Information is collected by third-party tools I use (the tools are discussed in detail later in this privacy policy), Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers under the terms of their terms of use and privacy policies.

Anonymous Information is also used by the providers of each tool to provide and improve services, manage services, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize the content and advertisements displayed on each service, site and application.

4: Where do I get your personal information from?

In most cases, you provide it yourself. This happens when:

you register a user account,
you place an order,
you send a complaint or withdraw from a contract,
you sign up for a newsletter,
you add a comment / opinion,
you contact via email,
you observe social media profiles or interact with content published on social media.
In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools I use:
the mechanism of the website and newsletter system collect your IP address,
the mechanism of abandoned shopping carts,
the mechanism of the newsletter system collects information about your activity in relation to the content sent to you within the newsletter, such as opening messages, clicking on links, etc..,
third-party tools using cookies (the tools are described in detail later in the privacy policy) collect Anonymous Information related to your activities on the site.

5: Is your data safe?

I take care of the security of your personal data. I analyze the risks involved in the various processes of processing your data, and then implement appropriate security and data protection measures. I constantly monitor the state of the technical infrastructure, train staff, look at the procedures in place, and make the necessary improvements. If you have any questions about your personal data, I am at your disposal at kontakt@emocjewnaturze.pl

User account – details

When you create a user account, you will need to provide the data necessary to create an account: email address and password. Providing the data is voluntary, but necessary to create an account.

As part of editing your account details, you can provide your further data, in particular, data that may be used in placing orders, such as your name, address of residence or place of business, tax ID number, telephone number. As part of editing your account data, you can also set your avatar, such as a profile picture that includes an image.

If you create an account through integration with a social network account, based on your prior authorization, I will gain access to certain data collected within the social network account (name, email address, profile picture).

In addition, my system used for user accounts records your IP number, which you used when registering a user account.

You can modify the information about you provided in connection with user account registration at any time. However, in a situation where you have created an account using an integration with a social network account, the data retrieved from that social network cannot be modified.

The data provided by you in connection with the creation of an account is processed in order to provide you with an electronic service consisting of providing you with the possibility of using a user account. This service is provided on the basis of an agreement concluded under the terms described in the regulations, which means that in this regard the legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6(1)(b) of the RODO.

The data will be kept for the duration of the operation of the user account, and then until the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims related to the user account service.

Orders – details

When placing an order, you will need to provide the data necessary to process the order: email address, name, invoice details.

In addition, the system used to handle the order process saves your IP number, which you used when placing the order.

Each order is recorded in a database, which means that your personal data assigned to the order is also accompanied by order-related information such as the date and time of the order, the order ID number, the transaction ID, the subject of the order, the price, the method and date of payment, the date and time of downloading the purchased digital content.

Data collected in connection with an order, are processed for:

execution of the contract concluded by placing an order (Article 6(1)(b) RODO),

issuing an invoice (Article 6(1)(c) RODO in connection with the relevant regulations governing the issuance of invoices),

inclusion of the invoice in the accounting records and fulfillment of other tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) RODO in connection with the relevant regulations governing tax and accounting obligations),

inclusion in the archives for the possible need to defend, establish or assert claims (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).

Order data is processed for the time necessary for the execution of the order, and then until the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims under the concluded contract.

Remember also that I am required to keep accounting records, which may contain your personal data, for the period required by law.

You can access your order data at any time. However, rectification of this data is not possible, except for a note or corrective invoice if it was issued in error. I inform you that until the expiration of the statute of limitations for contractual claims, I see my overriding interest in storing your order data.

Recovering an abandoned shopping cart – details

If you start the ordering process, but do not complete it, my system will note this fact, activating the abandoned cart recovery mechanism. This mechanism consists in the fact that for some time I will send you messages reminding you to finalize your order. I am relying in this regard on my legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO. This interest consists in marketing my own products and services. You may object to receiving messages within the framework of the abandoned cart recovery mechanism by clicking on the relevant link contained in the message you receive.

Complaints and withdrawals – details

If you make a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you provide personal data contained in the body of the complaint or withdrawal statement, which includes name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, bank account number. Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to make a complaint or withdraw from the contract.

The data provided in connection with filing a complaint or withdrawing from the contract are used for the purpose of implementing the complaint procedure or withdrawal procedure, and then for archival purposes, which is a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).

Data will be processed for the time necessary to carry out the complaint procedure or withdrawal procedure. Complaint documents will be stored until the expiration of warranty rights. Statements of withdrawal will be stored together with accounting records for the period required by law.

Newsletter – details

By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide your name and email address. Providing the data is voluntary, but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.

In addition, the system used to handle the newsletter, records your IP number you used when signing up for the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the mail client you use for email, and tracks your actions taken in connection with messages sent to you. Accordingly, I also have information about which messages you have opened, within which messages you have clicked on links, etc.

The data provided by you in connection with signing up for the newsletter, is used for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) RODO) given when signing up for the newsletter.

As for the processing of information that does not come from you, but is collected automatically by the mailing system, I rely in this regard on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) RODO) to analyze the behavior of newsletter subscribers in order to optimize mailing activities.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link included in each message sent as part of the newsletter, or by simply contacting me.

Despite opting out of the newsletter, your data will continue to be stored in the database for the purpose of identifying the returning subscriber and for the possible defense of claims related to the sending of the newsletter to you, in particular for the purpose of proving the fact that you have given your consent to receive the newsletter and the moment of its withdrawal, which constitutes the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO.

You can modify your data provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking on the relevant link visible in each message sent as part of the newsletter, or by simply contacting me.

Comments / feedback – details

When adding a comment, you must provide at least a username that will be assigned to the comment (the name may include personal information, such as first or last name) and an email address. Providing this data is voluntary, but necessary to add a comment.

The comment system is operated by a third-party provider – Disqus, Inc. Use of the comment system is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of Disqus. Disqus is a stand-alone, independent entity that provides electronic services to you and processes your personal data in connection with the use of these services. You can use the Disqus system either without creating a user account or as a registered user after prior registration – the decision in this regard is yours.

The comment you add along with your data made public within the Disqus settings will be visible on the site. You can modify and delete your comment at any time.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the case of the comment system is the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO, which in this case is the operation of the comment system.

Handling of correspondence – details
When contacting via e-mail, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the content of correspondence, in particular your e-mail address and name. Provision of data is voluntary, but necessary to establish contact.

Your data is processed in this case for the purpose of contacting you, and the basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) RODO, i.e. legitimate interest. The legal basis for post-contact processing is also the legitimate interest of archiving correspondence for the purpose of ensuring that we can prove certain facts in the future (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).

The content of the correspondence may be subject to archiving, and I am not in a position to determine clearly when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of correspondence you have had with me (if it was subject to archiving), as well as to request its deletion, unless its archiving is justified by overriding interests, such as defense against potential claims on your part.

Tax and accounting obligations – details

If I issue an invoice to you, it becomes part of your accounting records, which will be kept for the period of time required by law. Your personal data is then processed for the purpose of fulfilling my tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the RODO in connection with the relevant regulations governing tax and accounting obligations).

Archive – details

As part of the description of the various purposes of personal data processing, the time limits for storing personal data are indicated. These time limits are often related to the archiving of certain data for the purpose of ensuring our ability to prove certain facts in the future, reconstruct the course of cooperation with the customer, the correspondence exchanged, defense, establishment or assertion of claims. I rely in this regard on the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO.

Social media – details

If you follow my social media profiles or interact with content published by me on social media, I naturally see your data that is publicly available on your social media profile. I process this data only within the social network in question and only for the purpose of operating the social network in question, which is a legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO.

Your use of social networking sites is subject to the rules and privacy policies of the administrators of those sites, and those administrators provide electronic services to you, fully independently and autonomously.

I encourage you to use social networks consciously and to take care of your privacy within them, in particular by prudently selecting the content you make public and managing your privacy settings.

Analysis and statistics – details

I conduct analytical and statistical activities using the tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within the analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.

As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.

I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO. The legitimate interest consists in creating, reviewing and analyzing statistics related to user activity on the website in order to draw conclusions allowing for subsequent optimization of the website.

I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to assign any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not attributed to specific individuals.

You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling the cookies of external tools in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on the relevant link in the footer of the page.

Custom marketing – details

I conduct marketing activities using third-party tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. As part of the marketing tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.

As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.

You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party tool cookies in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on a relevant link in the footer of the page.

I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO. The legitimate interest consists of creating Custom Audience Groups based on Anonymous Information and targeting advertisements based on Anonymous Information, both of which fall within the marketing of my own products and services.

I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to assign any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not attributed to specific individuals.

You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling the cookies of external tools in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on the relevant link in the footer of the page.

External tools – details

We embed videos from YouTube, audio recordings from SoundCloud, use social plugins and Disqus comments on the site. All of these tools process Anonymous Information.

As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.

I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the RODO. The legitimate interest in this case is to provide you with the ability to use additional features on the website.

I am not able to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you, as we are not able to assign any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.

You may, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling the cookies of external tools in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on the relevant link in the footer of the page.

7: How long will I keep your personal data?

Data retention periods are indicated separately for each processing purpose. You will find this information within the details dedicated to each separate processing purpose. Most data is deleted after the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims.

8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?

I would venture to say that modern business cannot do without services provided by third parties. I also use such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. Third-party service providers that are involved in the processing of your personal data are:

A hosting provider that stores data on a server,

a cloud service provider where files that may contain your personal data are stored,

a mailing system provider, in which your data is stored if you are a newsletter subscriber,

the provider of a CRM system in which I store your data to improve the customer service process and for archival purposes,

invoicing system provider, where your data is stored for invoicing purposes,

the accounting office that processes your data shown on invoices,

a maintenance service provider that accesses your data if the technical work carried out relates to the areas where your personal data is located,

other subcontractors who gain access to the data if the scope of their activities requires such access.

All of the entities listed above process your data on the basis of personal data processing entrustment agreements and guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection.

If the need arises, your data may be made available to a legal counselor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the need for legal assistance requiring access to your personal data.

Your personal data may also be transferred to the tax authorities to the extent necessary for the performance of tax and accounting duties. This includes, in particular, any declarations, reports,

If the need arises, your data may be shared with a legal advisor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the need for legal assistance requiring access to your personal data.

Your personal data may also be transferred to the tax authorities to the extent necessary for the performance of tax and accounting duties. This includes, in particular, all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents containing your personal data.

In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be shared with entities, authorities or institutions authorized to access the data under the law, such as police, security services, courts, prosecutors’ offices.

Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver your order. These companies become independent administrators of your personal data.

In addition, I participate in Ceneo’s Trusted Reviews program. In the process of placing an order, you may consent to the transfer of your data related to your order for the purpose of examining opinions on the level of satisfaction with the purchase carried out. If you give such consent, your data will be shared with Ceneo pl. Sp. z o.o., which will thus become the administrator of your personal data. Details of data processing by Ceneo are described in the Ceneo regulations: http://info.ceneo.pl/regulamin/.

Moreover, when it comes to Anonymous Information, the providers of the tools or plug-ins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are independent controllers of the data collected in them, and may share this data under the terms and conditions they set forth in their own rules and privacy policies, over which I have no control.

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

Yes, part of the processing operations of your personal data may involve transferring them to third countries.

I transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools that store personal data on servers located in third countries, particularly in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection through the relevant compliance mechanisms provided by the RODO, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.

I would also like to remind here that I use third-party tools that can collect Anonymous Information. I have mentioned this several times within this policy, including in response to a previous question. The providers of these tools often use servers located around the world, particularly in the United States of America (USA), to store the information they collect.

10: Do I use profiling? Do I make automated decisions based on your personal information?

I do not make decisions towards you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects towards you or similarly materially affect you.

Yes, I do use tools that I may take certain actions depending on the information collected through tracking mechanisms, but I believe that these actions do not materially affect you, as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of a contract you may enter into, etc.

Using certain tools, I can, for example, target you with personalized ads based on previous actions you have taken on the site or suggest products that may interest you. We are talking here about so-called behavioral advertising. I encourage you to learn more about behavioral advertising, particularly with regard to privacy issues. You can find detailed information, along with the ability to manage your behavioral advertising settings, here.

I emphasize that within the tools I use, I only have access to Anonymous Information. This information is stored on the servers of the providers of each tool, and these servers can most often be located around the world.

11: What rights do you have in connection with the processing of your personal information?

The RODO grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:

the right to access your data and to receive a copy of it,
The right to rectify (amend) your data,
The right to erasure (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for your data to be processed, you can demand that your data be erased),
The right to restrict data processing (you can demand that I restrict data processing only to storing your data or performing actions agreed with you, if in your opinion I have inaccurate data or I am processing it unfoundedly),
The right to object to data processing (you have the right to object to data processing on the basis of legitimate interests; you should indicate the particular situation that you think justifies the cessation of processing covered by the objection; I will stop processing your data for these purposes unless I demonstrate that the grounds for processing override your rights or that your data are necessary for me to establish, assert or defend claims),

The right to data portability (you have the right to receive in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format the personal data you have provided under the contract or your consent; you can have the data sent 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 lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you find that I am processing your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint to this effect with the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection or other competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the exercise of the rights indicated above are described in detail in Articles 16 – 21 of the RODO. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with these provisions. For my part, I consider it necessary to explain to you that the rights indicated above are not absolute and you will not be entitled to all processing activities of your personal data.

I would like to emphasize that one of the rights indicated above is always available to you – if you consider that there has been a violation of data protection regulations in the processing of your personal data, you have the opportunity to file a complaint with the supervisory authority (President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).

You can also always request access to information about what data I have about you and for what purposes I process it. All you need to do is send a message to kontakt@emocjewnaturze.pl I have, however, made every effort to ensure that the information you are interested in is comprehensively presented in this privacy policy. You can also use the e-mail address provided above if you have any questions about the processing of your personal data.

12: Do I use cookies and what are they actually?

My website, like almost all other websites, uses cookies.

Cookies are small textual information stored on your terminal device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone), which can be read by my ICT system (own cookies) or third-party ICT systems (third-party cookies). Cookies may record and store certain information, which can then be accessed by ICT systems for specific purposes.

Some cookies used are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. when the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies are retained on your terminal device and allow your browser to be recognized the next time you visit the site (persistent cookies).

If you want to learn more about cookies as such, you can read, for example, this material.

13: On what basis do I use cookies?

I use cookies on the basis of your consent, except when cookies are necessary for the proper provision of electronic services to you.

Cookies that are not necessary for the proper provision of the electronic service remain blocked until you agree to the use of cookies. During your first visit to the site, I display a message asking for your consent along with the option to manage cookies, i.e. decide which cookies you agree to and which you want to block.

Please note that disabling or restricting cookies may prevent you from using some of the features available on the website and cause difficulties in using the website, as well as many other websites that use cookies. For example, if you block cookies of social networking plug-ins, buttons, widgets and social features implemented on the site may not be available to you.

14: Can you disable cookies?

Yes, you can manage your cookie settings within your web browser. You can block all or selected cookies. You can also block cookies of specific sites. You can also delete previously saved cookies and other site and plug-in data at any time.

Web browsers also offer the possibility to use incognito mode. You can use it if you don’t want information about the pages you visit and files you download to be saved in your browsing and download history. Cookies created in incognito mode are deleted when you close all windows in this mode.

There are also browser plug-ins available to control cookies, such as Ghostery. The option to control cookies may also be provided by additional software, in particular antivirus packages, etc.

In addition, there are tools available on the Internet that allow you to control certain types of cookies, in particular to collectively manage behavioral advertising settings.

I also give you the ability to control cookies directly from my website. I have implemented a special mechanism for managing cookies, which allows you to block those cookies you do not want.

Please note that disabling or restricting cookies may prevent you from using some of the features available on the website and cause difficulties in using the website, as well as many other websites that use cookies. For example, if you block the cookies of social networking plug-ins, the buttons, widgets and social features implemented on my site may not be available to you.

15: For what purposes do I use my own cookies?

Proprietary cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of the various mechanisms of the site, such as remembering the contents of the shopping cart for a certain period of time after adding selected products to it, proper transmission of forms visible on the site, handling newsletter forms, etc.

Own cookies also store information about your defined cookie settings made from the mechanism for managing cookies.

16: What third-party cookies are used?

The following third-party cookies operate on the website:

  • Google Analytics,
  • Google Ads,
  • Hotjar,
  • Facebook Custom Audiences,
  • Facebook Connect and other social plugins,
  • Disqus,
  • SoundCloud,
  • YouTube.

Details of individual third-party cookies are described below.

Google Analytics – details
I use the Google Analytics tool provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. I carry out activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in creating statistics and analyzing them in order to optimize the website.

In order to use Google Analytics, a special Google Analytics tracking code is implemented in the code of the site. The tracking code uses cookies from Google LLC regarding the Google Analytics service. You can block the Google Analytics tracking code at any time by installing a browser add-on provided by Google.

Google Analytics automatically collects information about your use of the website. The information collected in this way is mostly transmitted to Google’s servers, which may be located around the world, and stored there.

Due to activated IP address anonymization, your IP address is truncated before being passed on. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to Google’s servers and only shortened there.

Hotjar – details

I use the Hotjar tool to better understand your needs and to optimize the website for your user experience, which is a legitimate interest. The tool is provided by an external entity, i.e. Hotjar Limited, Level 2, St Julian’s Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian’s STJ 1000, Malta.

Hotjar records each visitor to the site and allows for the playback of a video recording of their traffic on the site, as well as the generation of so-called heat maps. Within the Hotjar tool, I do not have access to information that identifies you because Hotjar does not record the process of filling out forms. The information I have access to within Hotjar is, in particular:

information about the operating system and web browser you use,
the sub-pages you view within the site,
time spent on the site and on its subpages,
transitions between different subpages within the site,
the source from which you go to the site,
the places you click on with your mouse.

In order to use Hotjar, a special Hotjar tracking code is implemented in the code of the site. The tracking code uses cookies from Hotjar Limited. The information collected through cookies is stored by Hotjar as part of a pseudonymous user profile. Neither Hotjar nor I use this information to identify you.

You can object to Hotjar’s creation of your user profile, Hotjar’s storage of information about your use of my site, and Hotjar’s use of cookies here: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out.

If you are interested in details related to Hotjar’s data processing, I encourage you to read Hotjar’s privacy policy: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy.

Google Ads – details

I use the remarketing functions available within the Google AdWords system operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. I perform activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in marketing my own products or services.

When you visit my website, a Google remarketing cookie is automatically left on your device, which collects information about your activity on the website. Thanks to the information collected in this way, I am able to display ads to you within the Google network depending on your behavior on the site. For example, if you display a certain product, this information will be noted by the remarketing cookie, which will make it possible for me to target you with an ad for that product or any other ad we deem appropriate. This advertising will be displayed to you within the Google network when you use the Internet, browse other websites, etc.

I emphasize that when using Google Ads, I only use Anonymous Information.

When using Google AdWords, I am only able to define the audience groups I would like our ads to reach. Based on this, Google decides when and how it will present you with an ad.

Using Google AdWords, I am only able to define the audience groups I would like our ads to reach. Based on this, Google decides when and how it will present you with advertising.

Further processing of information takes place only if you have given your consent to Google to link your browsing history to your account and to use information from your Google account to personalize the ads that are displayed on the websites. In such a situation, Google will use your data to create and define target group lists for remarketing purposes on different devices. For this purpose, Google temporarily combines the information it collects with other data it has to create targeting groups.

If you do not want to receive personalized ads, you can manage your ad settings directly on Google’s website: https://adssettings.google.com/.

Facebook Custom Audiences – details

As part of the Facebook Ads system provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, I use the Custom Audiences feature to target specific groups of users with targeted advertising messages. I perform activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in marketing my own products or services.

In order to target you with ads personalized to your behavior on the site, a Facebook Pixel has been implemented as part of the site, which automatically collects information about your use of the site. The information collected in this way is mostly transmitted to Facebook’s servers, which may be located around the world, particularly in the United States of America (USA).

The information collected as part of Facebook Pixel is anonymous, i.e. it does not allow me to identify you. Depending on your activity on the site, you may end up in a certain audience, but I do not identify individual members of these groups in any way.

The Facebook Pixel may track and note, among other things, the following of your behaviors:

viewing the content of a specific page,
proceeding to checkout within a store,
finalizing a purchase within the store,
filling out a specific form, such as signing up for a newsletter.

However, I am informing you that Facebook may combine the information it collects with other information about you collected through your use of Facebook and use for its own purposes, including marketing. Such actions by Facebook are no longer up to me, and you can look for information about them directly in Facebook’s privacy policy. From your Facebook account, you can also manage your privacy settings. Here you will find useful information in this regard.

Facebook Connect and other social plugins – details

My website uses plug-ins, buttons and other social media tools, collectively referred to as „plug-ins”, provided by social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN, Twitter.

When you view a web page containing a plug-in of a particular social network, your browser sends information to the administrator of that social network about your visit. Since the plug-in is a piece of the social network embedded in the page, the browser sends information about the request to download the content of a particular social network to the page.

Plug-ins collect certain information about you, such as your user ID, the site you visited, the date and time, and other browser information.

Social network administrators use some of this information to personalize the viewing experience on my site. For example, when you visit a page with a „Like” button, the social network administrator needs information about who you are to show you which of your friends also like my page.

Information collected by plugins may also be used by social network administrators for their own purposes, such as improving their own products, creating user profiles, analyzing and optimizing their own activities, and targeting advertisements. I have no real influence on how the information collected by the plugins is then used by the social network administrators. You can look for details in this regard in the rules and privacy policies of individual social networks.

Social network plug-ins collect and transmit information to social network administrators even when you browse my site without being logged into your social network account. Then, however, the browser sends a more limited set of information.

If you have logged in to one of the social networks, the administrator of the social network will be able to directly attribute your visit to my site to your profile on that social network.

If you do not want the social network to attribute the data collected from your visit to my site directly to your profile on that particular social network, then you must log out of that social network before visiting the site. You can also completely prevent plug-ins from loading on the site by using appropriate extensions for your browser, such as script blocking.

In addition, the use of certain plug-ins may involve the publication of certain information within your social profiles. For example, information about clicks on the „Like” button may be available on your Facebook timeline. Of course, if you share some content on your social media using plugins embedded on my site, that sharing will naturally be visible on your profile.

As for details related to the processing by social media administrators of information collected by plug-ins, in particular the purpose and scope of data collection and its further processing and use by the administrators, as well as the possibility of contacting you and your rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to ensure the protection of your privacy, you will find everything in the privacy policies of the respective service providers:

Facebook,
Twitter,
LinkedIN,
Instagram.
