These targets are more than one. Below is a list of them, along with a more detailed discussion. We have also assigned to each purpose the corresponding legal basis for processing:
Purpose of processing | Discuss the purpose of processing | Legal basis |
Order processing and contract handling | When placing an order, you must provide the data necessary for its execution specified in the order form.
Providing data is a condition for placing an order. In addition, the system used to handle the order process records your IP number, which you used to place the order. In connection with the conclusion of the contract, it may also process your other personal data in order to perform the services provided for in the contract that was concluded. The scope of this data depends on which personal data is needed to perform the contract. When we receive your data in the performance of a contract, e.g. from an entity that employs you, we base such processing on our legitimate interest, which in this case is to ensure the efficient and effective handling of the concluded contract. In this case, we may process your identifying information and contact details. The data is processed for the purpose of entering into and performing the contract. Once the contract has been executed, the data goes into an archive for the possible establishment, investigation or defense of claims related to the contract. The data also goes into accounting records for the purpose of meeting tax obligations. |
Art. 6 para. 1(b) RODO, art. 6 para. 1 lit. f RODO |
Actions taken to complete orders by customers | Due to the fact that some customers start placing an order but do not finalize it (do not approve the order and do not conclude a contract with us), we may take measures to ensure that our customers complete the purchase process.

For the purposes of the activities described above, we may process such personal data as the information provided during the ordering process, in particular your name and e-mail address, as well as information about the contents of your shopping cart, the date the transaction began, and other data left in connection with the purchase process you initiated.

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 us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not lead to the deletion of your data from the mailing system.

We have described the scope of the processed data for each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found above, in Section 3 of the Privacy Policy. Among the data is information such as:
- name,
- email address,
- phone number,
- IP address,
- delivery address,
- invoice details,
- bank account number,
- details of the order placed,
- data collected in the mailing system,
- data related to the added comment / opinion,
- information visible in social media profiles,
- information contained in the correspondence,
- Anonymous Information.
# 5: What is Anonymous Information?
We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our site. In particular, it is about the following information:
- Operating system and browser information,
- subpages viewed,
- time spent on the site,
- transitions between different subpages,
- clicks on individual links,

- page scrolling,
- The source from which you go to the site,

- Your interests or other preferences determined by your online activities,
- Video recordings of your sessions on our websites,
- Heat maps illustrating your behavior on our sites.
This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Anonymous Information”.
Anonymous information by itself does not, in our opinion, have the character of personal information, because it does not allow us to identify you and we do not collate it with the typical personal information we collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and divided opinions among lawyers, as a precautionary measure, in case Anonymous Information is assigned the character of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of such information.
We are unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From the tools that collect Anonymous Information, we can only see a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
The processing of Anonymous Information allows us to provide you with the functionality available on the site. In addition, Anonymous Information is used for analytical and statistical and marketing purposes, such as ad setup and targeting.
Anonymous information is also processed by tool providers under the terms of their terms of service and privacy policies. They may be used by these providers to provide and improve services, manage services, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize content and ads displayed on individual services, sites and applications. For details related to this, see the section on the tools we use.
# 6: Where do we get your personal information from?
In most cases, you give them to us yourself. For example, this happens when you register a user account, place an order, send a complaint or withdraw from a contract, contact us via email or chat, and use features available on our Site or external services (e.g., social media).
In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools we use. For details on third-party vendor tools, see the section on the tools we use.
In exceptional cases, we may also obtain your personal data from other sources, such as when the entity that employs you indicates your data to us as a contact person for contractual matters, or when you represent an entity that enters into a contract with us.
# 7: Is the data safe?
We care about the security of your personal information. We have analyzed the risks involved in the various processes of processing your data, and then implemented appropriate security and data protection measures. On an ongoing basis, we monitor the state of the technical infrastructure, train staff, look at the procedures used, and make the necessary improvements….
# 8: How long will we keep personal information?
We process your personal data for as long as it is reasonable within the framework of the given purpose of the personal data processing, and therefore the processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Remember that termination of the processing of your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete deletion or destruction of your personal data, as the same set of data may be processed for another purpose, for the period indicated for it. Complete deletion or destruction of data occurs when we have completed all purposes and in other cases indicated in the RODO.

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

We do not make decisions with respect to you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which would produce legal effects with respect to you or similarly materially affect you. Yes, we do use tools that may take certain actions depending on the information collected through tracking mechanisms, but we 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 the contract you may enter into with us, etc.
Using certain tools, we may, for example, target you with personalized advertisements based on previous actions you have taken on the Site or suggest products that may be of interest to you. We are talking here about the so-called. behavioral advertising. We encourage you to deepen your knowledge of behavioral advertising, especially with regard to privacy issues.

For our part, we deem 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.
