Official text of the GDPR: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679

1.4. Using the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary. Similarly, providing personal data by the Service Recipient or Customer of the Online Store is voluntary, subject to two exceptions: (1) entering into agreements with the Controller – failure to provide the necessary personal data, indicated on the Online Store's website and in the Online Store's Terms and Conditions and this privacy policy, for concluding and executing a Sales Agreement or an Agreement for Electronic Services with the Controller results in the impossibility of concluding that agreement. Providing personal data in such a case is a contractual requirement, and if the individual whose data is concerned wishes to conclude a specific agreement with the Controller, they are obliged to provide the required data. The scope of data required for entering into an agreement is always specified on the Online Store's website and in the Online Store's Terms and Conditions; (2) statutory obligations of the Controller – providing personal data is a statutory requirement resulting from universally applicable legal regulations imposing on the Controller the obligation to process personal data (e.g., processing data for tax or accounting purposes), and failure to provide such data will prevent the Controller from fulfilling these obligations.

1.5. The Controller takes special care to protect the interests of individuals whose personal data is processed, and in particular ensures that the data collected by them is: (1) processed lawfully; (2) collected for specified, lawful purposes and not subjected to further processing incompatible with those purposes; (3) relevant and adequate in relation to the purposes for which it is processed; (4) stored in a form enabling the identification of the individuals it concerns, for no longer than is necessary for the purposes of processing; and (5) processed in a manner ensuring adequate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage, by using appropriate technical or organizational measures.

1.6. Taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Controller implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing is carried out in accordance with this Regulation and that such processing is documented. These measures are subject to periodic review and updates as necessary. The Controller employs technical measures to prevent unauthorized acquisition or modification of electronically transmitted personal data.

1.7. All words, phrases, and acronyms appearing in this privacy policy and beginning with a capital letter (e.g., Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) shall be understood in accordance with their definitions provided in the Online Store's Terms and Conditions available on the Online Store's website.

4.1. For the proper functioning of the Online Store, including the execution of concluded Sales Agreements, the Administrator must utilize the services of external entities (such as software providers, couriers, or payment service providers). The Administrator only engages the services of processing entities that provide sufficient guarantees of implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the processing complies with the requirements of the GDPR and protects the rights of the data subjects.

4.2. Data transmission by the Administrator does not occur in every case or to all recipients or categories of recipients indicated in the privacy policy. The Administrator only transmits data when necessary for the accomplishment of a specific purpose of personal data processing and only to the extent necessary for its implementation. For example, if a Customer chooses in-store pickup, their data will not be transmitted to a carrier cooperating with the Administrator.

4.3. The personal data of Service Recipients and Customers of the Online Store may be transferred to the following recipients or categories of recipients:

4.3.1. carriers / freight forwarders / courier brokers / entities handling warehouse and/or shipping processes – in the case of a Customer who chooses to have the Product delivered by postal or courier service, the Administrator provides the collected personal data of the Customer to the selected carrier, freight forwarder, or intermediary executing shipments on behalf of the Administrator.

5.1. The GDPR imposes an obligation on the Administrator to inform about automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and – at least in those cases – to provide essential information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Administrator provides information regarding potential profiling in this section of the privacy policy.

5.2. The Administrator may utilize profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made based on profiling do not relate to the conclusion or refusal of Sales Agreements, or the use of Electronic Services in the Online Store. The outcome of profiling in the Online Store may include granting a discount to a specific individual, sending them a discount code, reminding them of unfinished purchases, proposing a Product that aligns with the individual's interests or preferences, or offering improved terms compared to the standard Online Store's offer. Despite profiling, the individual retains the freedom to decide whether to utilize the received discount or better terms and make a purchase in the Online Store.

5.3. Profiling in the Online Store involves the automatic analysis or prediction of an individual's behavior on the Online Store's website, such as adding a specific Product to the cart, browsing a specific Product page, or analyzing the individual's previous purchase history on the Online Store's website. A prerequisite for such profiling is that the Administrator possesses the individual's personal data to subsequently transmit, for example, a discount code.

5.4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.

6.1. The right of access, rectification, restriction, erasure, or portability – the data subject has the right to request from the Administrator access to their personal data, their rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), or restriction of processing.

6.2. The right to withdraw consent at any time – if personal data is processed by the Administrator based on consent given (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR), the data subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6.4. The right to object – the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them based on Article 6(1)(e) (public task or official authority) or (f) (legitimate interests of the controller), including profiling based on these provisions. In such a case, the Administrator is no longer allowed to process the personal data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

6.5. The right to object to direct marketing – if personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for the purposes of such marketing, including profiling, to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

6.6.

7.3. By default, most internet browsers available on the market accept saving cookies. Everyone has the option to specify the conditions for using cookies using the settings of their own internet browser. This means that, for example, you can partially limit (e.g., temporarily) or completely disable the ability to save cookies - in the latter case, however, it may affect some functionalities of the Online Store (for example, it may be impossible to proceed with the Order process through the Order Form due to the lack of remembering Products in the cart during subsequent Order steps).

7.4. The settings of the internet browser regarding cookies are important for the consent to use cookies by our Online Store - according to the regulations, such consent can also be given through the settings of the internet browser. In the absence of such consent, it is necessary to appropriately change the settings of the internet browser regarding cookies.

Contracting with the Administrator - not providing, in cases and to the extent indicated on the Online Store's website and in the Online Store Regulations, personal data necessary to conclude and perform a Sales Agreement or an agreement for the provision of Electronic Services with the Administrator will result in the impossibility of concluding the agreement. Providing personal data is in such a case a contractual requirement, and if the person whose data it concerns wants to conclude a specific agreement with the Administrator, they are obliged to provide the required data. The scope of data required to conclude an agreement is indicated in advance on the Online Store's website and in the Online Store Regulations;

Legal obligations of the Administrator - providing personal data is a legal requirement arising from universally applicable legal provisions imposing on the Administrator the obligation to process personal data (e.g., processing data for the purpose of keeping tax or accounting books), and not providing them will prevent the Administrator from fulfilling these obligations.
