The official text of the GDPR Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679 1.4. Using the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary.

These measures are reviewed and updated as necessary.

The Administrator only uses the services of those processors who provide sufficient guarantees of implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures so that the processing meets the requirements of the GDPR and protects the rights of the data subjects. 4.2. Personal data may be transferred by the Administrator to a third country, with the Administrator ensuring that in such a case it will be in relation to a country providing an adequate level of protection – consistent with the GDPR, and in the case of other countries, that the transfer will be based on standard data protection clauses. The Administrator ensures that the data subject has the ability to obtain a copy of their data. The Administrator transfers the collected personal data only in the case and to the extent necessary to achieve the given purpose of data processing consistent with this privacy policy. 4.3. The transfer of data by the Administrator does not occur in every case and not to all recipients or categories of recipients indicated in the privacy policy – the Administrator transfers data only when it is necessary for the realization of a given purpose of personal data processing and only to the extent necessary for its realization. For example, if a Customer uses personal pickup, their data will not be transferred to the carrier cooperating with the Administrator. 4.4. Personal data of Service Users and Customers of the Online Store may be transferred to the following recipients or categories of recipients: 4.4.1.

  1. PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE

5.1. The GDPR imposes an obligation on the Data Controller to inform about automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and – at least in those cases – significant information about the rules of their making, as well as the significance and expected consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Data Controller provides information in this section of the privacy policy concerning possible profiling. 5.2. The Data Controller may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made on this basis by the Data Controller do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Agreement or the possibility of using Electronic Services in the Online Store. The effect of using profiling in the Online Store may be, for example, granting a discount to a given person, sending her a discount code, reminding her of unfinished purchases, sending a proposal for a Product that may correspond to the interests or preferences of a given person, or offering better conditions compared to the standard offer of the Online Store. Despite profiling, it is up to the person to freely decide whether they want to use the discount received in this way, or better conditions, and make a purchase in the Online Store. 5.3. Profiling in the Online Store consists of the automatic analysis or prediction of a given person's behavior on the Online Store's website, for example by adding a specific Product to the basket, browsing the page of a specific Product in the Online Store, or by analyzing the history of purchases made in the Online Store. A condition for such profiling is the possession by the Data Controller of personal data of the given person, in order to then send her, for example, a discount code. 5.4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, and which produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects the data subject.

  1. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

6.1. The right of access, rectification, restriction, erasure, or portability – the data subject has the right to request the Data Controller to access their personal data, its rectification, erasure ("the right to be forgotten") or restriction of processing, and has the right to object to processing, as well as the right to data portability. The detailed conditions for exercising the above rights are specified in Articles 15-21 of the GDPR. 6.2. The right to withdraw consent at any time – the data subject, whose data is processed by the Data Controller based on expressed consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR), has the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent prior to its withdrawal. 6.3. The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – the data subject, whose data is processed by the Data Controller, has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the manner and procedure specified in the provisions of the GDPR and Polish law, particularly the Personal Data Protection Act. The supervisory authority in Poland is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office. 6.4. The right to object – the data subject has the right to object at any time, for reasons related to their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest or task) or (f) (legitimate interest of the controller), including profiling based on these provisions. In such a case, the Data Controller is no longer allowed to process this personal data unless it demonstrates the existence of valid legally justified grounds for processing, overriding the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or grounds for establishing, pursuing, or defending claims. 6.5. The right to object to direct marketing – if personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for such marketing, including profiling, to the extent that the processing is related to such direct marketing. 6.6.
