Below we set out your rights in relation to data protection and our processing of your data. The rights you have in particular circumstances depend on the purpose and basis of the processing of your data.
You have the right to be informed about the personal data we hold about you. When you make a request for access to your data, you will be provided with information about the processing of your personal data, including in particular the purposes and legal basis of the processing, the scope of the data held, the entities to which the personal data are disclosed and the planned date of deletion.
You have the right to have the personal data held about you rectified and/or supplemented without delay. It is our duty to ensure that our mutual communication is based on data that is true, complete and up-to-date.
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data if you dispute the accuracy of data held about you, if processing is carried out without a legal basis or if you have presented your objection to data processing.
You have the right to request erasure of your personal data held by us, if retention of the data is not necessary to ensure freedom of expression, freedom of access to information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, to report or defend against claims or to assert rights under the law.
If you have notified us of your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we will notify all recipients of your personal data of how to rectify, erase or impose restrictions on the processing of that data, unless this is impossible to carry out or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to obtain a copy of the data provided to us, which will be sent to you or a third party in a structured, standard, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be sent to another controller, this will be done as long as it is technically possible. This right only applies if we process your data on the basis of your consent or in connection with the performance of a contract.
If your personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate legal interest, you have the right to object at any time to further processing. We will consider your application in accordance with the regulations.
If your data is processed on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, with future effect. This will not affect the legality of data processed to date.
If the processing of your personal data violates data protection legislation or if your data protection rights have been infringed in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. The supervisory authority competent in the territory of Poland is the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection in Warsaw. Before exercising your right to complain, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can clarify any concerns you may have.
If you make a request to us to exercise your right, we will respond to your request within one month of receiving it. If it is necessary to extend this deadline, we will inform you of the reasons for such an extension.
Response to your request will be sent to the e-mail address from which you send your request or, in the case of requests made by letter, by traditional mail to the address you provide, unless you indicate in your letter that you wish to be contacted by e-mail (in which case you must provide your e-mail address).
