§ 1. Who is the administrator of your personal data?
The administrator of your personal data is MANILO SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ, NIP: 9552385959, Południowa 5, 71-001 Szczecin, Poland.
§ 2. Whom can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?
As part of implementing personal data protection in my organization, it was decided not to appoint a Data Protection Officer because it is not mandatory in my situation. For matters related to the protection of personal data and broadly understood privacy, you can contact via email at biuro@manilo.pl.
§ 3. What information do I have about you?
Depending on the purpose, I may process the following information about you:
first and last name,
email address,
phone number,
data contained in email correspondence,
order details placed on the website,
IP address,
approximate location,
image (profile photo),
statistics related to received newsletters,
preferred email client,
interests in specific topics,
content of comments/reviews added on the website.
The scope of processed data has been precisely described in relation to each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found later in this privacy policy.
Moreover, I use tools that collect a range of information about your use of my website. This includes, in particular, the following information:
information about the operating system and web browser,
viewed subpages,
time spent on the site,
transitions between individual subpages,
clicks on individual links,
the source from which you enter the site,
age group you belong to,
your gender,
your approximate location limited to the town.
Your interests defined based on online activities.
This information is referred to later in this privacy policy as "Anonymous Information".
Anonymous Information, in my opinion, does not constitute personal data because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not combine it with typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and 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 are also included in this privacy policy.
Since Anonymous Information is collected by external tools I use (the tools are detailed later in this privacy policy), Anonymous Information is also processed by the tool providers based on their terms and privacy policies.
Anonymous Information is also used by tool providers to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize the content and ads displayed on individual services, websites, and applications.
§ 4. Where do I get your personal data from?
In most cases, you provide it yourself. This happens when you:
contact via the contact form,
schedule a consultation through the contact form,
subscribe to the newsletter,
download a file and provide your email address,
add a comment/review,
contact via email,
follow social media profiles or interact with content published on social media.
Additionally, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools I use:
the site mechanism and the newsletter system collect your IP address,
the newsletter system mechanism collects information about your activity regarding the content sent to you within the newsletter, such as opening messages, clicking on links, etc.,
external tools using cookies (the tools are detailed later in this privacy policy) collect Anonymous Information related to your activities on the site.
§ 5. Is your data safe?
I care about the security of your personal data. I have analyzed the risks associated with individual data processing processes and implemented appropriate security and personal data protection measures. I continuously monitor the state of the technical infrastructure, train personnel, review applied procedures, and introduce necessary improvements. If you have any questions regarding your personal data, I am at your disposal at biuro@manilo.pl.
§ 6. For what purposes do I process your personal data?
There are more than one. Below is a list, followed by a more detailed discussion. Appropriate legal bases for processing are also assigned to individual purposes:
newsletter handling – Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
comments handling – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
correspondence handling – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
fulfillment of tax and accounting obligations – Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with relevant tax law,
creating an archive for potential defense, establishing, or pursuing claims – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
creating audience groups on Facebook – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
social media handling – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
analysis and statistics using only Anonymous Information – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
own marketing using only Anonymous Information – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR,
ensuring the functionality of the YouTube player, social plugins, and using only Anonymous Information – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Newsletter – details
By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide your first name and email address. Providing data is voluntary but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.
Moreover, the system used for newsletter handling records your IP address used at the time of subscription, determines your approximate location, email client used for email handling, and tracks your actions related to messages sent to you. Consequently, I also have information about which messages you opened, in which messages you clicked on links, etc.
The data you provide in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) given when subscribing to the newsletter.
Regarding the processing of information that does not come from you but is collected automatically by the mailing system, I rely on my legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in analyzing subscriber behavior to optimize mailing activities.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent within the newsletter or simply by contacting me.
Despite unsubscribing from the newsletter, your data will still be stored in the database to identify returning subscribers and potential defense of claims related to sending you the newsletter, especially to demonstrate the fact of your consent to receive the newsletter and the moment of its withdrawal, which constitutes a legitimate interest as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can modify your data provided for receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking on the appropriate link in each message sent within the newsletter or simply by contacting me.
Correspondence handling – details
By contacting via email, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the correspondence, especially the email address and name. Providing data is voluntary but necessary to establish contact.
Your data is processed in this case to contact you, and the legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, i.e., legitimate interest. The legal basis for processing after contact ends is also a legitimate interest in archiving correspondence to ensure the ability to demonstrate specific facts in the future (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The content of the correspondence may be archived, and I am not able to determine definitively when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of correspondence you have conducted with me (if it has been archived) and to request its deletion unless its archiving is justified by overriding interests, such as defense against potential claims from you.
Tax and accounting obligations – details
If I issue an invoice to you, it becomes part of the accounting documentation that will be stored for the period required by law. In this case, your personal data is processed to fulfill my tax and accounting obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with relevant provisions regulating tax and accounting obligations).
Archive – details
In the description of individual data processing purposes, the data retention periods have been indicated. These periods are often related to archiving specific data to ensure the ability to demonstrate
specific facts in the future, reconstruct the course of cooperation with the client, exchanged correspondence, defense, establishment, or pursuit of claims. In this regard, I rely on a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Audience groups – details
Your email address stored in the newsletter database or the store database may be sent to Facebook to create an audience group for advertisements using that email address.
During the use of this feature, the email address is hashed before being sent to Facebook to create an audience group.
The email address will be used in the matching process conducted by Facebook.
Facebook does not share the email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the email address immediately after the matching process is completed.
Facebook has implemented processes and procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address sent to it and the set of Facebook user identifiers forming the audience group created using the email address, including technical and physical safeguards.
Creating advertising audience groups on Facebook using your email address constitutes a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can object to the use of your email address for this purpose at any time by writing to me at biuro@manilo.pl.
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 that is publicly available on your social media profile. I process this data only within the given social media service and solely for the purpose of managing the social media service, which constitutes a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Your use of social media is subject to the regulations and privacy policies of the administrators of these services, and these administrators independently and independently provide electronic services to you.
I encourage you to use social media consciously and to take care of your privacy within them, especially by carefully choosing the content you make public and managing your privacy settings.
Analysis and statistics – details
I conduct analytical and statistical activities using the tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not combine it with typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and 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 are also included in this privacy policy.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest involves creating, reviewing, and analyzing statistics related to user activity on the site to draw conclusions that allow for the subsequent optimization of the website.
I cannot provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because none of the Anonymous Information can be assigned to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party cookies in the cookie settings triggered by clicking on the relevant content link in the website footer.
Own marketing – details
I conduct marketing activities using external tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within marketing tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not combine it with typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and 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 are also included in this privacy policy.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest involves creating Custom Audiences based on Anonymous Information and targeting ads based on Anonymous Information, which falls within the scope of marketing own products and services.
I cannot provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because none of the Anonymous Information can be assigned to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party cookies in the cookie settings triggered by clicking on the relevant content link in the website footer.
Additional tools – details
I embed YouTube videos on the site.
These tools process Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not combine it with typical personal data I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and 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 are also included in this privacy policy.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on a legitimate interest, as referred to in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest in this case involves ensuring the possibility of using additional features on the site.
I cannot provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because none of the Anonymous Information can be assigned to any specific user. From external tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party cookies in the cookie settings triggered by clicking on the relevant content link in the website footer.
§ 7. How long will I keep your personal data?
The retention periods for data have been indicated separately for each processing purpose. You will find this information within the details dedicated to each separate processing purpose. Most data is deleted after the expiration of the limitation period for claims.
§ 8. Who are the recipients of your personal data?
I dare to say that modern business cannot do without services provided by third parties. I also use such services. Some of these services involve processing your personal data. External service providers involved in processing your personal data include:
the hosting provider who stores the data on the server,
the cloud service provider where files containing your personal data may be stored,
the mailing system provider where your data is stored if you are a newsletter subscriber,
the CRM system provider where I store your data to streamline the customer service process and for archival purposes,
the invoicing system provider where your data is stored to issue invoices,
the accounting office that processes your data visible on invoices,
the technical support service provider who gains access to data if the technical work involves areas where personal data is stored,
other subcontractors who gain access to data if the scope of their activities requires such access.
All the entities listed above process your data based on data processing agreements and guarantee an appropriate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be disclosed to a legal advisor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the necessity to obtain 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 includes all declarations, reports, statements, and other accounting documents containing your personal data.
Furthermore, if necessary, your personal data may be disclosed to entities, bodies, or institutions authorized to access the data based on legal provisions, such as police services, security services, courts, prosecutor's offices.
Moreover, when it comes to Anonymous Information, the tool or plugin providers that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are independent data controllers and may share this data under their own terms and privacy policies, which I have no control over.
§ 9. Do I transfer your data to third countries or international organizations?
Yes, some data processing operations may involve transferring your data to third countries.
I transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with using tools that store personal data on servers located in third countries, particularly in Ireland and the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection through appropriate compliance mechanisms provided for by GDPR, especially through the use of standard contractual clauses.
The storage of personal data on servers located in third countries occurs within the following tools:
MailerLite mailing system, provided by MAILERLITE LIMITED, Ground Floor, 71 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2, D02 P593, Ireland – in the scope of your first name, email address, IP address, and statistical information related to your reactions to sent messages.
MailerLite Limited ensures an appropriate level of personal data protection through compliance mechanisms provided for by GDPR, particularly through the use of standard contractual clauses.
I also remind you here that I use external tools that may collect Anonymous Information. I have mentioned this several times within this policy, including in response to the previous question. The providers of these tools often use servers located worldwide, especially in the United States of America (USA) and Ireland, to store the collected information.
§ 10. Do I use profiling? Do I make automated decisions based on your personal data?
I do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.
Yes, I use tools that may take specific actions based on the information collected within tracking mechanisms, but I believe that these actions do not significantly affect you, as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the contract you may conclude, etc.
Using certain tools, I can, for example, direct personalized advertisements to you based on previous actions you have taken on the site or suggest products that may interest you. This is known as behavioral advertising. I encourage you to gain more knowledge about behavioral advertising, particularly concerning privacy issues. Detailed information, along with the possibility of managing settings related to behavioral advertising, can
be found here.
I emphasize that within the tools I use, I only have access to Anonymous Information. This information is stored on the servers of the providers of individual tools, and these servers are often located worldwide.
§ 11. What rights do you have in relation to the processing of your personal data?
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 you believe there are no grounds for processing your data, you can request its deletion),
the right to limit data processing (you can request that data processing be limited solely to storing or performing actions agreed with you if, in your opinion, I have incorrect data or process it without justification),
the right to object to data processing (you have the right to object to data processing based on legitimate interest; you should indicate a particular situation that, in your opinion, justifies ceasing processing subject to objection; I will stop processing your data for these purposes unless I demonstrate that the data processing grounds are overriding your rights or that your data is necessary to establish, assert, or defend claims),
the right to data portability (you have the right to receive in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format the personal data you provided based on a contract or your consent; you can also request to transfer this data directly to another entity),
the right to withdraw consent for data processing if you have previously given such consent,
the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you find that I process data unlawfully, you can file a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office or another competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the exercise of the above rights are described in detail in Articles 16 – 21 of the GDPR. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with these provisions. On my part, I consider it necessary to explain that the above rights are not absolute and will not apply to all data processing activities.
I emphasize that you always have one of the above rights - if you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of data protection regulations, you have the option to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (the President of the Personal Data Protection Office).
You can always request information about what data I have about you and for what purposes I process it. Just send a message to rodo@rendpro.com. I have made every effort to present the information of interest to you comprehensively in this privacy policy. The above email address can also be used for any questions related to the processing of your personal data.
§ 12. Do I use cookies and what are they exactly?
My website, like almost all other websites, uses cookies.
Cookies are small text information stored on your end device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) that can be read by my telecommunication system (own cookies) or third-party telecommunication systems (third-party cookies). Specific information can be stored and accessed in cookies for particular purposes.
Some used cookies are deleted after the web browser session ends, i.e., after its closure (so-called session cookies). Other cookies are stored on your end device and allow recognizing your browser on the next visit (persistent cookies).
If you want to learn more about cookies, you can refer to, for example, this material.
§ 13. On what basis do I use cookies?
I use cookies based on your consent, except when cookies are necessary to provide you with a service electronically properly.
Cookies that are not necessary for the proper provision of an electronic service remain blocked until you consent to the use of cookies. During your first visit to the site, I display a message asking for your consent, along with the ability to manage cookies, i.e., decide which cookies you agree to and which you want to block.
Remember that disabling or limiting the handling of cookies may prevent you from using some of the functionalities available on the website and cause difficulties in using the site, as well as many other websites that use cookies. For example, if you block social media plugin cookies, buttons, widgets, and social functions implemented on the site may be unavailable to you.
§ 14. Can you disable cookies?
Yes, you can manage cookies settings within your web browser. You can block all or selected cookies. You can also block cookies of specific websites. You can also delete previously saved cookies and other site and plugin data at any time.
Web browsers also offer the option of using incognito mode. You can use it if you do not want information about visited sites and downloaded files to be saved in browsing and downloading history. Cookies created in incognito mode are deleted when all windows of this mode are closed.
Browser plugins that allow you to control cookies are also available, such as Ghostery. Cookie control options may also be provided by additional software, particularly antivirus packages, etc.
Moreover, tools available on the Internet allow you to control certain types of cookies, especially collective management of behavioral advertising settings.
I also give you the ability to control cookies directly from my website. I have implemented a special cookie management mechanism that allows you to block those cookies you do not wish to.
Remember that disabling or limiting the handling of cookies may prevent you from using some of the functionalities available on the website and cause difficulties in using the site, as well as many other websites that use cookies. For example, if you block social media plugin cookies, buttons, widgets, and social functions implemented on my site may be unavailable to you.
§ 15. For what purposes do I use my own cookies?
Own cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of individual site mechanisms, such as the proper submission of forms visible on the site, handling newsletter forms, etc.
Own cookies also store information about cookie settings you defined using the cookie management mechanism.
§ 16. What third-party cookies are used?
The website uses the following third-party cookies:
Google Analytics,
Google Ads,
Facebook Custom Audiences,
Facebook Connect and other social plugins,
YouTube,
Microsoft Clarity,
MailerLite,
Google Tag Manager,
Google Web Fonts,
Google reCAPTCHA.
Details regarding individual third-party cookies are described below.
Google Analytics – details
I use the Google Analytics tool provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Actions in this regard are based on a legitimate interest in creating statistics and their analysis to optimize the website.
To use Google Analytics, a special tracking code from Google Analytics has been implemented in the site's code. The tracking code uses cookies from Google LLC related to the Google Analytics service. You can block the Google Analytics tracking code at any time by installing a browser add-on provided by Google.
Google Analytics automatically collects information about your use of the site. The information collected this way is usually transferred to Google servers worldwide and stored there.
Due to the activated IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened before further transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google servers and shortened there. The anonymized IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics is generally not combined with other Google data.
I emphasize that within Google Analytics, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
Google Analytics and Google Analytics 360 services have obtained ISO 27001 independent security standard certification. ISO 27001 is one of the most recognized standards globally and certifies that Google Analytics and Google Analytics 360 systems meet appropriate requirements.
If you are interested in details regarding how Google uses data from websites and applications that use Google services, I encourage you to refer to this information.
Google reCAPTCHA – details
This site uses "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA"). The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) has been entered by a human or an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the site by the visitor, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such analysis is taking place.
Data storage and analysis are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
More information about Google reCAPTCHA can be found in Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en
Microsoft Clarity – details
I use the Microsoft Clarity tool to better understand your needs and optimize the site for your experiences using it, which constitutes a legitimate interest. The tool is provided by an external entity, i.e., Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA.
Microsoft Clarity records every visitor to the site and allows you to recreate a video recording of their movement on the site and generate so-called heat maps. Within the Hotjar tool, I do not have access to information that allows your identification, as Microsoft Clarity does not record the process of filling out forms. Information to which I have access within Hotjar includes, in particular:
information about the operating system and web browser you use,
subpages you browse within the service,
time spent in the service and on its subpages,
transitions between individual subpages within the service,
the source from which you enter the service,
places where you click with the mouse.
To use Microsoft Clarity, a special tracking code
has been implemented in the site's code. The tracking code uses cookies from Microsoft Corporation. The information collected in cookies is stored by Hotjar within a pseudonymous user profile. Neither Hotjar nor I use this information to identify you.
You can object to the creation of a user profile by Microsoft Clarity and the storage of data by Microsoft Clarity.
Information about your use of the website and the data you create/transmit are stored on Microsoft Clarity servers.
To obtain more information about Microsoft Clarity features, visit: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
Data processing is governed by Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The website operator will obtain your appropriate consent (e.g., consent to save cookies).
This consent can be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of data processing already carried out.
Data retention period.
The data you have deposited about Microsoft Clarity will be stored for up to 12 months and then deleted.
Further details can be found in Microsoft's data protection regulations at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.
Microsoft Clarity commits to its Online Service Terms. It uses EU standard contractual clauses to guarantee data protection.
Google Ads – details
I use remarketing features available within the Google AdWords system operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Actions in this regard are based on a legitimate interest in marketing own products or services.
During visits to my website, a remarketing cookie from Google is automatically left on your device, which collects information about your activity on the site. With the information collected this way, I can display ads to you within the Google network based on your behavior on the site. For example, if you view a product, this information will be recorded by the remarketing cookie, which will allow me to direct an ad about this product or any other I deem appropriate to you. This ad will be displayed to you within the Google network while you use the Internet, browse other websites, etc.
I emphasize that within Google Ads, I only use Anonymous Information.
Using Google AdWords, I can only define audience groups to which I would like my ads to reach. Based on this, Google decides when and how to present you with an ad.
Further processing of information takes place only if you have consented to Google combining your browsing history with your account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads displayed on websites. In this case, Google uses your data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google temporarily combines the collected information with other data it holds to create target groups.
If you do not want to receive personalized ads, you can manage ad settings directly on Google: https://adssettings.google.com/.
If you are interested in details regarding how Google uses data from websites and applications that use Google services, I encourage you to refer to this information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Google Tag Manager – details
This website implements Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager has been implemented to manage website tags through one interface and control the exact integration of services on our website. This allows us to flexibly integrate additional services to evaluate data subjects' access to our website.
The implementation of Google Tag Manager results from our legitimate interests, i.e., interest in optimizing our services based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
For more information on Google Tag Manager's privacy practices, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en, and for terms of use, visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.
Facebook Custom Audiences – details
Within the Facebook Ads advertising system provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, I use the Custom Audiences feature to direct targeted advertising messages to specific groups of users. Actions in this regard are based on a legitimate interest in marketing own products or services.
To direct personalized ads to you based on your behavior on the site, a Facebook Pixel has been implemented on the site, which automatically collects information about your use of the website. The information collected this way is usually transferred to Facebook servers worldwide, particularly in the United States of America (USA).
The information collected within the Facebook Pixel is anonymous, i.e., it does not allow me to identify you. Depending on your activity on the site, you may be included in a specific audience group, but I do not identify individual people belonging to these groups.
The Facebook Pixel can track and record, among others, the following behaviors:
viewing specific page content,
going to checkout within the store,
completing a purchase within the store,
completing a specific form, e.g., newsletter sign-up.
I inform you, however, that Facebook may combine the information collected with other information about you collected during your use of the Facebook service and use it for its purposes, including marketing. Such actions by Facebook are no longer dependent on me, and you can find information about them directly in Facebook's privacy policy. From your Facebook account, you can also manage your privacy settings. Here you will find useful information in this regard.
Facebook Connect and other social plugins – details
My website uses plugins, buttons, and other social tools, collectively referred to as "plugins," provided by social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN, Twitter.
When you view a website containing a plugin from a given social network, your browser sends information about your visit to the administrator of that social network. Because the plugin is a part of the social network embedded in the site, the browser sends information about requesting content from the social network to the site.
Plugins collect specific information about you, such as your user ID, visited website, date and time, and other information about the web browser.
Social network administrators use some of this information to personalize the conditions for viewing my site. For example, when you visit a page with a "Like" button, the social network administrator needs to know who you are to show you which of your friends also like my site.
Information collected by plugins may also be used by social network administrators for their purposes, such as improving their products, creating user profiles, analyzing and optimizing their activities, targeting ads. I have no real influence on how information collected by plugins is subsequently used by social network administrators. You can find details in the terms and privacy policies of individual social networks.
Social network plugins collect and transmit information to social network administrators even when you browse my site without being logged in to your account on the social network. However, the browser sends a more limited set of information.
If you are logged in to one of the social networks, the network administrator can directly associate the visit to my site with your profile on the social network.
If you do not want social networks to associate the data collected during your visits to my site directly with your profile on the social network, you must log out of that social network before visiting the site. You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading on the site by using appropriate extensions for your browser, such as script blockers.
Additionally, using some plugins may involve publishing specific information within your social media profiles. For example, information about clicks on the "Like" button may be available on your Facebook timeline. Naturally, if you share any content on your social media using plugins embedded on my site, this sharing will naturally be visible in your profile.
As for the details related to the processing of information collected by plugins by social network administrators, particularly the purpose and scope of data collection and their further processing and use by administrators, as well as the possibility of contact and your rights in this regard and the possibility of settings ensuring the protection of your privacy, you will find everything in the privacy policies of individual service providers:
Facebook,
Twitter,
LinkedIN,
Instagram.
YouTube – details
Widgets from YouTube are embedded on my pages, allowing you to play recordings available on YouTube directly from my pages. The YouTube service is operated by Google LLC.
The videos are embedded on the site in privacy protection mode. Based on the information provided by YouTube, this means that no cookies are stored on your device, and Google does not collect any information about you until you play the recording.
When you play the recording, YouTube stores cookies on your device and receives information that you played the recording from a specific website, even if you do not have a Google account or are not currently logged in. If you are logged in to your Google account, the service provider can directly associate the visit to my site with your account. The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use by Google, as well as the possibility of contact and your rights in this regard and the possibility of settings ensuring the protection of your privacy, are described in Google's privacy policy.
If you do not want Google to associate data collected during video playback directly with your profile, you must log out of your account before playing the video. You can also completely prevent plugins from loading on the site by using appropriate extensions for your browser, such as script blockers.
The information collected within the cookies related to the embedded YouTube videos on my site is used by Google to ensure the proper and secure functioning of the widget, analyze and optimize the services provided by YouTube, and for personalization and advertising purposes.
Remember that by playing recordings available on YouTube, you use services provided electronically by Google LLC. Google LLC is an independent entity providing electronic services to you. You can find details regarding the terms of use of YouTube, including privacy protection, in the documents provided directly by YouTube:
