Please do not provide us with such data.

 

WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES AND LEGAL GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We process your personal data because it is required for the performance of the contract that we concluded with you, or for the actions to be taken before the contract is concluded, including the handling of reports and enquiries that you send, or the handling of complaints, if you file a complaint.

Additionally, legal regulations require that we process your personal data to ensure compliance with statutory obligations imposed upon us, for example, accounting and tax obligations.

We also process your personal data for the purposes listed below pursuant to our legitimate interest which is based on determining the quality of customer service, ensuring IT security, marketing of our services directed to clients, establishing and asserting claims or protecting against claims, storage of data for archiving, analytical, statistical and evidence purposes (if facts need to be shown) and to ensure accountability.

In other cases, your personal data are processed providing you give your consent.

 

MARKETING

We process your personal data to perform marketing activities, the legal grounds for which are our legitimate interest. Such marketing actions may be, in particular, on the basis of displaying marketing content, sending messages about our products, services, campaigns, promotions, competitions and client satisfaction surveys, or undertaking other actions related to direct marketing of goods and services (sending commercial communications via electronic mail or telemarketing).

If you consented to receiving commercial communications via email, text message and other means of electronic communication, your personal data will be processed in order to allow such communications to be sent, as specified in your consent. You have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing.

The provision of your personal data, including the data that is marked as mandatory in the contact form, is voluntary. However, it is necessary to perform the actions referred to in the What are the purposes and legal grounds for the processing of your personal data? section.

You have the right to object to the processing of your data for the purposes indicated above at any time.

If the data is to be transferred to third countries (outside of the European Economic Area), which the European Commission regards as countries that do not ensure an appropriate level of data protection, we guarantee that the conditions allowing the transfer of data, provided for in the GDPR, will be met by, among others, introducing appropriate measures such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, in order to protect your data.

Your personal data will not be transferred to any international organisations.
