These data are processed only in connection with keeping the profile, including to inform Users about the Administrator’s activity and to promote various types of events, services and products, as well as to communicate with users through the functionalities available on social media. The legal basis for the processing of personal data by the Administrator for this purpose is its legitimate interest (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR) consisting in promoting its own brand and building and maintaining a brand-related community.
  2. There are integrated social media plugins on the Store’s website. This means that if the User clicks on one of these buttons, certain information will be shared with the providers of these social media channels. If the User is logged in to a given social account at the same time, the social network service provider may connect this information with the User’s account on the social channel and make the activities on the User’s profile public in such a way that they will be shared with other network users.
  3. Plug-ins, the so-called plug-ins of social networks, incl. Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube and others may be on the Store’s website. The related services are provided respectively by:
    • Facebook and Instagram are operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 and Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA Facebook;
    • Pinterest is operated by: Pinterest Europe Ltd., an Irish company with its registered office at: Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland or Pinterest Inc., 651 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103;
    • YouTube is operated by: Google, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 United States.
  4. The plug provides its supplier only with information about the time when the User had access to the Store. If, while viewing the Store’s website or staying on it, the User is logged in to his account located, for example, on Facebook, the provider is able to combine the User’s interests, information preferences, and other data obtained, for example, by clicking the “Like” button or leaving comment, or enter the profile name in the searched ones. Such information will also be transmitted directly to the provider via the browser. To avoid recording a visit to the selected User account of a given provider of the social media portal on the Store’s website, log out of the account before browsing the Store.
  5. Store’s website also contains links to websites administered by entities independent of the Administrator, i.e. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest or YouTube. They may have separate clauses or privacy policy. Administrator encourages you to read their content, as the Administrator has no influence on the collected data and data processing processes, as well as the knowledge of the full scope of their acquisition, the purpose of their processing and the duration of their storage. Administrator also has no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in providers.
  6. Addresses of plug-in providers and URLs to their privacy policy:
  7. Video materials are published on the Store’s website, which are posted on the YouTube portal. All these videos are subject to the “extended data protection mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Personal data is only transferred once the video has been played. We have no influence on this type of data transmission.
  8. In the event of visiting the Store’s website and playing a given video material posted on YouTube, YouTube receives information that you have opened the given video material on the Store’s website, which involves the transfer of personal data to YouTube. This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a User account through which you are logged in, or whether there is no User account. If you are logged in to Google (and hence to YouTube), your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your YouTube profile, please log out before playing the video. YouTube saves your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and to design its website as required. This analysis is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to present demand-driven advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles, but to exercise this right, please contact YouTube.
  9. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in the data protection declaration. There, you will also receive further information on your rights and the settings options to protect your privacy: google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and complies with the EU-US-Privacy-Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

 

VII.COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY

Cookies are small text files installed on the device of the User browsing the Store. Cookies collect information that facilitates the use of the website – e.g. by remembering User’s visits to the Store and activities performed by him.

  1. “SERVICE” COOKIES
    1. The Administrator uses the so-called service cookies primarily to provide the User with services provided electronically and to improve the quality of these services. Therefore, the Administrator and other entities providing analytical and statistical services to him use cookies, storing information or gaining access to information already stored in the User’s telecommunications terminal device (computer, telephone, tablet, etc.). Cookies used for this purpose include:
      • cookies with data entered by the User (session ID) for the duration of the session (user input cookies);
      • authentication cookies used for services that require authentication for the duration of the session (authentication cookies);
      • cookies used to ensure security, e.g. used to detect fraud in the field of authentication (user centric security cookies);
      • session cookies of multimedia players (e.g. flash player cookies), for the duration of the session (multimedia player session cookies);
      • persistent cookies used to personalize the User interface for the duration of the session or a little longer (user interface customization cookies),
      • cookies used to remember the contents of the basket for the duration of the session (shopping cart cookies);
    2. To collect statistics, Administrator uses the Google Analytics product, thus the data of the User visiting the Website will be obtained by Google, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 United States. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield program. As part of the agreement between the US and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection in the case of companies certified by the Privacy Shield. It is possible to block Google Analytics access to the User’s data after the user installs the plugin in the browser at the link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. If you are interested in the details related to data processing as part of Google Analytics, we encourage you to read the explanations prepared by Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=pl.
  1. “MARKETING” COOKIES

The Administrator also uses cookies for marketing purposes, including in connection with targeting behavioral advertising to Users. For this purpose, the Administrator stores information or gains access to information already stored in the User’s telecommunications terminal device (computer, telephone, tablet, etc.). The use of cookies and personal data collected through them for marketing purposes requires the consent of the User. This consent may be expressed through the appropriate configuration of the browser, and may also be withdrawn at any time, in particular by clearing the cookie history and disabling cookies in the browser settings.

  1. GOOGLE ADS, FACEBOOK PIXEL
  1. Store’s website uses the Google Ads program.
  2. Google Ads is a program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). As part of Google Ads, the Administrator uses the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that are saved in the internet browser on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website of the Store are informed that the user has been redirected to this page after clicking on the ad.
  3. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to identify the user. If you do not want to participate in conversion tracking, you can object to the use of this feature. For this, it is sufficient to deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
  4. Conversion cookies are stored based on art. 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
  5. For more information on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, see Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.pl/policies/privacy/.
  6. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the generation of cookies and allow them only on a case-by-case basis, not to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
  7. In order to conduct effective marketing campaigns and promotions of Goods sold by Administrator through the Online Store, Administrator uses the “Facebook Pixel” option, which is provided by the Facebook social network operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304 , USA or, for EU residents, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). Facebook Pixel is a code fragment placed on the Online Store website. It allows Facebook to identify people visiting the Administrator’s web content as a target group to display ads on Facebook on their social profiles (e.g. as part of sponsored ads), which we understand as our legitimate interest (art. 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR). As part of the Facebook Pixel function, it is therefore possible to display the Administrator’s published ads on Facebook only to Facebook users who have shown interest in our services or who have certain common factors (such as interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the visited tabs on our website, viewed products) that we pass on to Facebook (this results from the operation of Pixel installed on our website). The Facebook Pixel function also helps the Administrator understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, showing whether users have been redirected to our services after clicking on an ad on Facebook (the so-called conversion, allowing to determine on which devices the user performs the activity), in order to create the so-called similar audiences or statistical twins (i.e. serving advertisements to target groups similar to existing customers) and obtaining comprehensive statistics on site usage. During your visit to our website, the Facebook Pixel function establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. Thus, the Facebook server is notified that the User has visited our website, and Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account.
  8. Further information on the collection and use of data by Facebook and your privacy rights and options can be found in the data protection policy of Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update. Specific information and details about Facebook Pixel’s features and how it works are available in the Facebook help section at https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. This feature can be disabled as shown at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. To do this, you must log in to Facebook.
  9. You can object to our use of Facebook Piksel using your personal data as follows: Users who have a Facebook account by clicking on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences.
  10. Anyone can opt out of viewing interest-based advertising displayed by Facebook or its affiliates through the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (opt-out) by clicking on the following link: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/en/your choices.
  11. Please note that when the cookie blocking is removed, the data will be collected again by Facebook Pixel.
