Privacy and Cookies Policy
Hello!
If you have arrived here, it is a sure sign that you value your privacy. I understand this perfectly, so I am putting in your hands a document in which you will find the rules for the processing of personal data and the use of cookies and other tracking technologies in connection with the functioning of the website www.ynithe.com.
Formal information to begin with – the administrator of the site is Agnieszka Desperak, delivery address: Papieża Jana Pawła II Street 16B / 10, 58-400 Kamienna Góra, Poland.
This privacy policy has been structured in the form of questions and answers. The choice of this form was dictated by the care for transparency and readability of the information presented to you.
If you have any doubts about the privacy policy, you can contact me at any time by sending a message to contact@ynithe.com.
The controller of your personal data is Agnieszka Desperak, delivery address: Papieża Jana Pawła II Street 16B / 10, 58-400 Kamienna Góra, Poland.
As part of the implementation of data protection in my business, a decision has been made not to appoint a Data Protection Officer due to the fact that it is not mandatory in my situation. For matters related to data protection and privacy in general, you can contact me by email at contact@ynithe.com.
Depending on the purpose, I may process the following information about you:
• name,
• residential address,
• business address,
• tax identification number,
• e-mail address,
• telephone number,
• data included in e-mail correspondence,
• bank account number,
• IP address,
• approximate location,
• statistics related to newsletters received.
I have described the scope of the processed data precisely for each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found later in this policy.
Moreover, I use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of my website. This includes, in particular, the following information:
• information about your operating system and web browser,
• sub-pages viewed,
• time spent on the site,
• transitions between individual subpages,
• clicks on individual links,
• the source from which you go to the site,
• the age range you are in,
• Your gender,
• Your approximate location.
This information is referred to hereafter in this privacy policy as “Anonymous Information”.
Anonymous Information in itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal data, because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.
Since Anonymous Information is collected by third-party tools that I use (the tools are discussed in detail later in this privacy policy), Anonymous Information is also processed by the tool providers under the terms of their terms of use and privacy policies.
In most cases, you pass them yourself. This happens when:
• you sign up for a newsletter,
• you contact via email,
• you follow social media profiles or interact with content published on social media.
In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools I use:
• the mechanism of the website and the newsletter system collect your IP address,
• the mechanism of the newsletter system collects information about your activity in relation to the content sent to you as part of the newsletter, such as opening messages, clicking on links, etc..,
• external tools using cookies (the tools are described in detail later in the privacy policy) collect Anonymous Information related to your activities on the site.
I care about the security of your personal data. I analyzed the risks associated with the individual processing of your data and then implemented appropriate security and personal data protection measures. I constantly monitor the condition of the technical infrastructure, look at the procedures used, and introduce necessary improvements. If you have any questions regarding your personal data, I am at your disposal at contact@ynithe.com.
There is more than one of these goals. Below is a list of them, followed by a more detailed discussion. Appropriate legal bases for processing have also been assigned to individual purposes:
• handling correspondence – art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR,
• newsletter service – art. 6 section 1 letter a GDPR and art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR,
• order processing – art. 6 section 1 letter b GDPR,
• handling complaints or withdrawal from the contract – art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR,
• fulfillment of tax and accounting obligations – art. 6 section 1 letter c GDPR in connection with the relevant provisions of tax law,
• creating an archive for the purposes of the possible need to defend, establish or pursue claims – art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR,
• social media support – art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR,
• analysis and statistics using only Anonymous Information – art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR.
Complaints and withdrawals from the contract – details
If you file a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you provide personal data contained in the content of the complaint or declaration of withdrawal from the contract, which includes name and surname, residential address, telephone number, e-mail address, and bank account number. Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to file a complaint or withdraw from the contract.
Data provided in connection with submitting a complaint or withdrawing from the contract are used to implement the complaint or withdrawal procedure, and then for archival purposes, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The data will be processed for the time necessary to complete the complaint or withdrawal procedure. Complaint documents will be stored until the warranty period expires. Declarations of withdrawal from the contract will be stored together with accounting documentation for the period required by law.
Newsletter – details
By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide your e-mail address. Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.
In addition, the system used to handle the newsletter saves your IP number that you used when subscribing to the newsletter, determines your approximate location and tracks your actions taken in connection with the messages sent to you. Therefore, I also have information about which messages you opened, which messages you clicked on links in, etc.
The data provided by you in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for their processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) expressed when subscribing to the newsletter.
When it comes to the processing of information that does not come from you but was collected automatically by the mailing system, I rely on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) consisting in analyzing the behavior of newsletter subscribers in order to optimization of mailing activities.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting me.
Despite unsubscribing from the newsletter, your data will still be stored in the database in order to identify the returning subscriber and possible defense of claims related to sending you the newsletter, in particular for the purpose of demonstrating the fact that you consented to receiving the newsletter and the moment of its withdrawal, which constitutes a legally justified interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
You can at any time modify your data provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter by clicking the appropriate link visible in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting me.
Correspondence handling – details
When contacting me via e-mail or contact form available on the website, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the correspondence, in particular your e-mail address, name and surname. Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to establish contact.
In this case, your data is processed for the purpose of contacting you, and the basis for processing is Art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR, i.e. legitimate interest. The legal basis for processing after the end of contact is also the legitimate interest in archiving correspondence for the purpose of ensuring the possibility of demonstrating certain facts in the future (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The content of the correspondence may be archived and I cannot clearly determine when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of your correspondence with me (if it was archived), as well as to request its deletion, unless its archiving is justified due to overriding interests, e.g. defense against potential claims on your part.
Tax and accounting obligations
If I issue an invoice to you, it is part of the accounting documentation, which will be kept for the period required by law. In such a situation, your personal data are processed in order to fulfill my tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in connection with the relevant provisions regulating tax and accounting obligations).
Archive – details
As part of the description of the individual purposes of personal data processing, the deadlines for storing personal data are indicated. These terms are often related to the archiving of specific data in order to ensure the possibility of demonstrating specific facts in the future, reconstructing the course of cooperation with the client, exchanged correspondence, defending, determining or pursuing claims. In this respect, I rely on the legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Social media – details
If you follow my profiles on social media or interact with the content I publish on social media, I naturally see your data, which is publicly available in your social media profile. I process this data only within a given social networking site and only for the purpose of operating a given social networking site, which constitutes the legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Your use of social networking sites is subject to the regulations and privacy policies of the administrators of these sites, and these administrators provide you with services electronically, independently and independently.
I encourage you to use social networking sites consciously and take care of your privacy there, in particular by carefully selecting the content you publish and managing your privacy settings.
Analysis and statistics – details
I conduct analytical and statistical activities using tools described in detail later in the privacy policy. As part of the analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information itself does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not compare it with typical personal data that I collect about you. However, taking into account the rigorous case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, detailed explanations regarding the processing of this information have also been included in this privacy policy.
I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 section 1 letter f GDPR. The legitimate interest consists in creating, viewing and analyzing statistics related to user activity on the website in order to draw conclusions allowing for subsequent optimization of the website.
I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because I cannot assign any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From the level of external tools, I only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific people. However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling cookies of external tools in the cookie settings by clicking the link in the appropriate content in the footer of the website.
Data storage periods are indicated separately for each processing purpose. You will find this information within the details for each separate processing purpose. Most data is deleted after the limitation period for claims expires.
I will venture to say that modern business cannot do without services provided by third parties. I also use such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. The external service provider involved in the processing of your personal data is the hosting provider, which stores the data on the server.
The above-mentioned entity processes your data on the basis of the concluded personal data processing agreement and guarantees an adequate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be made available to a legal advisor or a lawyer bound by professional secrecy. The need may result from the need to seek legal assistance requiring access to your personal data. Your personal data may also be transferred to tax offices to the extent necessary to fulfill tax, settlement and accounting obligations. This applies in particular to all declarations, reports and other accounting documents containing your personal data.
Moreover, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, bodies or institutions authorized to gain access to data on the basis of legal provisions, such as police and security services, courts and prosecutor’s offices.
Your data is made available to courier companies to the extent necessary to provide documentation in paper form. These companies become independent administrators of your personal data.
I do not process your personal data in a way that could involve transferring it to third countries or international organizations.
I do not make decisions towards you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects towards you or similarly materially affect you.
Yes, I do use tools that may take certain actions depending on the information collected through tracking mechanisms, but I 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 a contract you may enter into, etc.
The GDPR grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:
• the right to access your data and receive a copy of it,
• the right to rectify (correct) your data,
• the right to delete data (if in your opinion there are no grounds for your data to be processed, you can request their deletion),
• the right to limit data processing (you can request that data processing be limited only to storing it or performing activities agreed with you, if in your opinion I have incorrect data or I am processing it unjustifiably),
• the right to object to data processing (you have the right to object to data processing on the basis of a legitimate interest; you should indicate a special situation that, in your opinion, justifies the cessation of processing covered by the objection; I will stop processing your data for these purposes unless I demonstrate that the grounds data processing overrides your rights or that your data is necessary for me to establish, pursue or defend claims),
• the right to transfer data (you have the right to receive personal data that you provided under the contract or your consent in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format; you can have this data sent directly to another entity),
• the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data, if you have previously expressed such consent (withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal),
• the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (if you find that I am processing your data illegally, you can submit a complaint to competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the implementation of the above-mentioned rights are described in detail in GDPR Chapter 3 (Art. 12 – 23). I encourage you to read these regulations. For my part, I think it is 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.
I emphasize that you always have one of the rights indicated above – if you believe that there has been a violation of personal data protection regulations during the processing of your personal data, you have the opportunity to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
You can also always request information about what data I have about you and for what purposes I process it. Just send a message to contact@ynithe.com. However, I have made every effort to ensure that the information you are interested in is comprehensively presented in this privacy policy. You can also use the e-mail address provided above in case of any questions related to the processing of your personal data.
