We are PRZEDSIĘBIORSTWO PRODUKCYJNO-HANDLOWE "KOTEX" S.C. JACEK MACIEJEWSKI, JACEK KLOCZKOWSKI located at ul. Sępowa 23, 42-280 Częstochowa, NIP 5731029475, REGON 150572852 ("KOTEX"). We are the controller of your personal data, regardless of your nationality, citizenship, or current location - as long as you are a living natural person. If you want to contact us regarding your privacy, specifically our processing of your personal data, you can use this email address: jjkotex@gmail.com - we have not appointed a data protection officer, as our main activity does not require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale nor does it involve large-scale processing of special categories of personal data and data relating to criminal convictions or violations of law; we are also not a public authority or body.
As processors of your personal data in connection with our activities, we are subject to privacy regulations, including the provisions of 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 (General Data Protection Regulation; "GDPR"). In this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy"), we will tell you what personal data, for what purposes and on what basis we process, to whom we disclose it, and also draw your attention to the rights that GDPR grants to personal data subjects such as you. We will also fulfill our information obligation elsewhere, especially on our website (https://GARNITURYKOTEX.pl and corresponding subpages; collectively, "Website"), providing you with specific and relevant communications.
Before we move on to the rest of the Privacy Policy, we should present you with two basic definitions that will help us all navigate the GDPR area; namely, personal data means information about an identified or identifiable natural person, such as, for example: name and surname, identification number, location data, internet identifier. In turn, the processing of personal data is essentially any operation on personal data, whether automated or not, for example: collection, storage, recording, organization, modification, viewing, use, disclosure, restriction, deletion or destruction. By the way, we ask you not to provide us with information from special categories of personal data at all, and via the Website in particular, such as information about race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, information about physical or mental health, genetic data, biometric data, information about sexual life or sexual orientation and criminal history.
We primarily process personal data that you yourself have provided to us, whether by contacting us through communicators integrated with the Website, the contact form on the Website or email, by leaving a comment on the forum in the blog section of the Website, or by ordering a newsletter. Our processing of your personal data serves fairly obvious purposes that you either specify or easily recognize - for example, we respond to your questions, at your request we send you our offer or commercial information, and we also maintain Website usage statistics. If we come up with the idea to process your personal data for a purpose other than the current one, we will let you know and try to obtain your consent for processing for the new purpose. Similarly, when we obtain your personal data from third parties, within a reasonable time after obtaining this data or at the first communication with you, we will provide you with appropriate information.
If we ask for your consent to process your personal data, we ensure that your will is free, appropriately informed, specific and unambiguous, and moreover, that you are aware that you can withdraw your consent for further processing of your personal data at any time. It doesn't always have to be a checkbox, but we will never assume your consent until you give us a clear signal that you are OK with us processing your personal data. In other cases, our processing of your personal data may be based on the fact that it is necessary for the performance of a contract between us or to take actions, at your request, before entering into a contract. It may also happen that comparing your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms with our interests or those of third parties will enable us to legally process your personal data, whether for direct marketing purposes or to ensure network and information security - in this case, we will inform you about the prevailing interests of ours or third parties.
In any case, we will provide you with appropriate information explaining the bases and purposes of our processing of your personal data whenever we collect this data. Regardless of whether the basis for our processing of your personal data will be consent, contract, legitimate interest or another premise legalizing processing, we will ensure that the scope of your personal data collected or otherwise processed is as small as possible, unless you decide to provide us with personal data in greater quantity or for a longer time than necessary. For example, if you want to schedule a free consultation, we will ask you for only such personal data that is necessary to arrange and conduct such a consultation - namely: first name, last name, email address. If we do not proceed to the stage of preparation, conclusion or performance of the contract or you do not give us consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose, your personal data processed in connection with the consultation will be deleted from our IT systems or data sets or anonymized.
Moreover, we want to draw your attention to your rights to request access to your personal data, its rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and to object to processing, including your absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes, as well as to data portability. However, we must stipulate here that while access to personal data, including the right to obtain a copy of the data, as well as the possibility to rectify this data are not limited, the right to delete personal data (right to be forgotten) is subject to restrictions and cannot be exercised if processing is necessary for us to establish, pursue or defend claims. Similarly, your request to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to transmit personal data to another controller will only be satisfied for personal data provided by you and processed by us based on consent or contract in an automated manner. In any case, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
However, as long as your personal data is processed by us, its processing will take place using appropriate technical and organizational measures, including appropriate staff and encryption mechanisms, to meet GDPR requirements and protect your rights. If we decide to entrust the processing of your personal data to third parties, and we will do so when using external IT resources, applications or cloud services and similar, we will choose only such processing entities that provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures so that processing meets GDPR requirements and protects your rights. We place the list of data processors here: Google LLC, Facebook Inc., H88 SA; we promise to update it regularly.
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies (collectively "Cookies"), which however you can disable through your web browser settings. You can learn about the Cookies we use under this link. In order to reach you with our marketing communications outside the Website (remarketing), we use services of external providers such as Google or Facebook. For this purpose, external providers install e.g. appropriate code or pixel to collect information about your activity on the Website. We use data about your activity, such as: search history, clicks, visits, history and your activity related to our email communication with you, to create your profile corresponding to your interests and preferences. Then we match marketing information about our products and services that may interest you to such created profile. Finally, we will just note that we prefer such providers and other recipients of your personal data who process data in the European Economic Area; although we do not intend to transfer your personal data to a third country, if it were to happen, we will choose a country or recipients who provide an adequate level of protection, even within self-certification in the Privacy Shield program.
