  1. PROCESSING AND ITS PURPOSE 

Personal data is processed in order to perform agreements concluded by the Ordering Parties with the Seller as part of the online store’s activities, including in particular contacting the Ordering Parties, verifying the accuracy of the data provided by the Ordering Parties during registration and the performance of the concluded agreements, and keeping accounts. To perform agreements, the Website may share necessary data with third parties for the purpose of payment transactions (payment companies) and deliveries (carriers, courier companies, postal or courier service providers). In this case, the amount of data transferred is kept to a minimum. 

In addition, data is processed for marketing and advertising purposes if the Ordering Party gives their consent (Newsletter subscription). 

Personal data are processed in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 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), (OJ EU L 119, p. 1). 

Browsing the Website does not require you to provide any personal data. It is only when you make a purchase or register that the Website collects the following personal data from you: 

  1. first name and surname,
  2. billing address and mailing address (if different),
  3. e-mail address,
  4. telephone number.

Providing the aforementioned data is voluntary; however, it is necessary in order to register or make purchases on the Website, within the scope of the online store. Consequently, failure to provide the data specified above during the registration process will prevent registration and, during the ordering process, it will prevent the order from being placed and processed. The Ordering Party’s failure to consent to the processing of their personal data for marketing and advertising purposes does not affect the possibility of registering or placing orders on the Website indicated above. 

If the Ordering Party consents to subscribe to the Newsletter, the e-mail address as provided will be used for the Controller’s own marketing purposes. Such consent may be withdrawn at any time. 

The provision of the aforementioned data is voluntary and requires the consent of the Ordering Party, and it becomes necessary only for the purposes as specified above. If you do not wish to make use of the indicated options, e.g. to make a purchase, there is no requirement to provide personal data. 

Your personal data will be processed for the duration of the Agreement and also after its termination for the following purposes:

  • to assert claims relating to the performance of the Agreement,
  • to comply with legal obligations, including in particular tax and accounting obligations,
  • to prevent fraud,
  • for statistics and archiving,
  • for a maximum period of 10 years from the date of completion of the Agreement.

You have the right to access, correct and request the deletion of the personal data you have provided. If you discover that your personal data is being processed in violation of applicable laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office. 

Data may be made available to entities entitled to receive this data under applicable law, including relevant public authorities.

The Website makes every effort to secure your data and protect it from the actions of third parties. To protect your data, we apply all necessary security measures for the server, connection and the Website. All connections related to registration and ordering, as well as other connections, including those related to making electronic payments during which personal data is transmitted, will be processed via a secure encrypted connection – using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol or similar. 

Notwithstanding the actions taken by the Website in the aforementioned regard, all Order Parties are obliged to keep their login and password to the Website confidential and not to make them available to third parties. The Website only asks you to provide this data when you log in. In order to prevent third parties from using the account, the Order Parties should log out when they have finished using the Website.
