Rights of the data subjects

1. You have the following rights with regard to the processing of your personal data in relation to the application of the GDPR:

Right of access to data

2. It shall take into account the possibility for the data subject to obtain information from the Administrator as to whether and to what extent his or her personal data are processed. Additionally, a person requesting the exercise of this right may request the administrator to obtain access to the data and, if necessary, to obtain a copy. Such a copy should be issued free of charge. In case of further such requests, a reasonable fee may be charged to the applicant, resulting among others from administrative costs.

Right of rectification

3. If the personal data processed by the administrator are incorrect or incomplete, the data subject may ask the administrator to correct them.

Right to delete data

4. Often referred to as the ‘right to be forgotten’. Under the terms and in the cases provided for by law, where possible, the person whose data are being processed has the right to request their deletion. However, it should be remembered that this request may not always be fulfilled, e.g. when there is a legal obligation for the administrator to process the data for a certain period of time.

Right to limit the processing

5. The GDPR also provides for the possibility to request, in certain circumstances, a limitation of the processing carried out by the administrator, in particular in cases where the processing is unlawful, where the person contests the accuracy of the data, or where the purposes of the processing by the administrator are exhausted and the data subject still needs them (e.g. to defend claims).

Right to object the processing

6. The data subject shall have the right to object the processing of personal data in situations where the processing is carried out on the basis of the grounds of Article 6 (1) (e) and (f), respectively in connection with the performance of tasks in the exercise of official authority or public interest and in the exercise of the legal interest of the data administrator. This is an essential right of data subjects to object the processing in situations where there is an imbalance between the parties of the processing.

Right to transfer personal data

7. It only applies where the processing is based on the consent of the data subject (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) and at the same time the processing is automated. A person may then demand that the administrator provides him/her with a complete set of collected data about him/her in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format, and additionally that his/her personal data is sent by the administrator directly to another administrator, if technically possible.

Complaint to the supervisory authority

8. The data subject shall always have the right to lodge a complaint to the supervisory authority, i.e. to the President of the Personal Data Office, Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw.

Withdrawal of consent

9. Where processing is based on the data subject’s consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Importantly, withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal of consent.

Exercise of rights

10. Not all your demands will always be met. The extent of your rights depends primarily on the legal prerequisites for the processing of your data, e.g.: in some cases we will not be able to exercise the right to delete your data.

Marketing techniques

1. The Administrator also uses statistical analysis of the website’s traffic through Google Analytics (Google Inc. based in the USA). The Administrator does not pass on personal data to the operator of this service, but only anonymised information. The service is based on the use of cookies on your terminal device. In the scope of information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit the information resulting from the cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/.
2. The Administrator uses remarketing techniques that allow matching advertising messages with the user’s behavior on the site, which may give the illusion that the user’s personal data are used to track the user, but in practice there is no transfer of any personal data from the Operator to the advertising operators. The technological condition for such actions is that cookies are enabled.
3. The Administrator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology causes Facebook (Facebook Inc. with its seat in the USA) to know that the person registered with it uses the Service. In this case, it is based on data for which it is the Administrator himself, the Administrator does not pass on any additional personal data from himself to Facebook. The Service is based on the use of cookies in the user’s terminal device.
