  • 5. Pursuant to what legal basis and why do we process your data?

    An appropriate legal basis in accordance with the regulations as in force at present has to be behind every processing of your data. This basis may constitute your consent to data processing or other legal provisions allowing for such actions set forth in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (referred to as GDPR) or various national legislation, such as acts or resolutions.

    We may process your data for a number of purposes, such as:

    • • you can make your data available to us by sending an e-mail. Then we process your data on the basis of your consent (Article 6, paragraph 1a of GDPR) which you automatically grant while sending your data (e.g. your e-mail address) to us. Your consent is voluntary – you may retract it at any time. In such case we shall delete all the information you provided, as long as you have not become our customer,

    • • is you are a customer of ours or interested in our services, then we process your data pursuant to an agreement you signed with us or within the scope of preparations for concluding such an agreement (Article 6, paragraph 1b of GDPR). This always takes place with your knowledge and according to your intention. In expressing an intention to conclude an agreement, you know what personal data will be required to sign it, and once signed you know what data you handed over or shall hand over at a later date,

    • • if you become a user of our services, a recipient of marketing information which we have put together for example, we will process your data on the basis of your consent (Article 6, paragraph 1a of GRPR). Your consent can be given verbally, during the course of a telephone conversation or by responding to a question sent by us wherein we ask whether you agree to receive information about our products and services. Your consent is voluntary – you may retract it at any time. In such case we shall cease providing our services and delete all the information you handed over immediately,

    • • we may also process your data in conjunction with the need to ensure the security of our information network. This might come to pass when you use or connect to our IT infrastructure for example by browsing our website or sending messages to us. This comprises our legitimate interest (Article 6, paragraph 1f of GDPR),

    • • if you are interested in working for us, your data is processed in the form of an application or CV which you sent. This always takes place upon your request (Article 6, paragraph 1b of GDPR) and pursuant to a written consent, which you may retract at any time. In such case we shall not consider your application and delete all the information you handed over immediately. Whereas the moment you become employed with us, further data processing principals and the obligatory scope for their provision and further processing are governed by the provisions of law (Article 6, paragraph 1c of GDPR).

  • 6. Who do we transfer your data to?

    According to the law we can transfer your data to subcontracted processors such as: the post operator, accounting firm, internet services provider or those service subcontractors specified in your agreement (for example – distributors, freight forwarder companies and delivery companies). If, as our employee, you have become a member of the Employee Capital Plan, we can provide your data to the managing financial institution. We are also obliged to make your data available to entities authorised pursuant to other provisions of law (such as the courts or enforcement bodies). The data will only be made available if such entities submit a request on the matter, indicating the legal basis pursuant to which such a request is justified.

    We do not foresee transferring your data to third countries or international organisations, that is outside of the European Union economic area. Pursuant to GDPR, in the European Union all member states provide the same level of protection for your data. For the Polish language version of GDPR see: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2016:119:TOC

    7. How long will we process your data for?

    We make every effort to limit the scope of collected data to the necessary minimum, and this includes the processing period. To that end we perform systematic reviews of our documents, both paper and in electronic versions and delete surplus data. Remember that the processing time of your data, depending on the grounds pursuant to which we obtained it, may be governed by separate, independent provisions of law subject to which we may be obliged to store your data regardless of your will or intent. Here the labour law, social insurance law or accounting regulations are just some examples.

    We may also obtain your data in conjunction with a training seminar, in which case we may only process it for a short period of time, for purposes associated with financial settlements with the entity which contracted us to perform the training seminar or to issue you with a certificate confirming training participation. After these actions we will delete your data immediately and we will certainly not use them other purposes – such as advertising our services, unless you explicitly and expressly consent to such.

    If you were the end recipient of our services and we concluded an agreement on the matter, pursuant to accounting regulations, your data will be held as part of relevant drafted financial and accounting documentation and processed for 5 subsequent calendar years starting from the purchase/agreement date.

    If the data we hold are going to be used for any purpose other than that for which they were obtained, we will always inform you and you will have an opportunity to object.

  • 8. What are your rights in relation to your data?

    If we are processing your personal data, you always have the right to:

    • request access to data – within the scope of GDPR Article 15,
    • rectify data – within the scope of GDPR Article 16,
    • request an erasure – within the scope of GDPR Article 17,
    • or limit data processing – within the scope of GDPR Article 18,
    • object to data processing – within the scope of GDPR Article 21
    • data portability and to obtain copies of it – within the scope of GDPR Article 20.

    All these rights are set forth in detail in Article 15 to 21 of GDPR, for the Polish language version see: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2016:119:TOC

    You can also withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. In such an event we will immediately erase your data unless we are otherwise legally obliged to continue processing.

    If you consider that we have breached your rights in any way – we certainly wish this does not happen – or have failed to ensure the security of your data, then you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, currently the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.

  • 9. Automated decision-making and profiling information

    We will not make any automated decisions on the basis of your data, that is ones of automated nature, made without human intervention. Also, we do not engage in any activities for the purpose of profiling you.

  • 10. How do we protect your data?

    We use the legally required technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data. At our site we have installed the required physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized data access. Our staff hold the required certificates and may process data in a limited manner, that is only within the scope required to perform their professional duties.

    The TLS 256 bit security protocol we use in version 1.2, ensures the safety of your data sent electronically. A green padlock in your web browser by our web address may show this.

    • to keep secret information, the disclosure of which could expose our Company to loss.
  • 3. Form of monitoring:
