# 1: Who is the controller of your personal data?

The controller of your personal data is Aquaforest Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością Sp.k., ul. Starowiejska 18, 32-800 Brzesko, entered into the National Court Register by the District Court for Kraków-Śródmieście in Krakow, 12th Commercial Division of the National Court Register, under KRS number: 0000660869, TAX ID: 9452120724, REGON [company statistic number]: 12085275300000.

With regard to the social media profiles associated with our website, in accordance with the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the provider of the social network is a joint controller of personal data together with the controller of the respective profile. Details of the processing of personal data by individual social media providers can be found here:

# 2: Who can you contact about the processing of your personal data?

As part of the implementation of a data protection system in our organisation, we have decided not to appoint a Data Protection Officer due to the fact that it is not mandatory in our situation. You can contact odo@aquaforest.pl on matters relating to data protection and broadly understood privacy.

# 3: For what purposes do we process your personal data? 

Those purposes are more than one. Below is a list of them, along with a more detailed description. We have also assigned the respective legal bases for processing to the various purposes:

Purpose of processing Description of the purpose of processing Legal basis
User account handling When you create a user account, you must provide the data necessary to set up your account as specified in the registration form. The provision of data is a prerequisite for creating an account. As part of editing your account details, you can enter your further details in accordance with the options available within your account.  In addition, our system used for user accounts records your IP number, which you used when registering your user account. The data is processed in order to provide the user account service to you. After deletion of the user account, the data goes into an archive for the possible establishment, asserting or defence of claims related to the user account service.  Article 6(1)(b) GDPR
Order processing and agreement handling When placing an order, you shall need to provide the data necessary to process the order: email address, name, invoice details, telephone number. In addition, the system used to handle the order process saves your IP number, which you used to place the order. Each order is saved in a database, which means that your personal data assigned to the order is also accompanied by order-related information such as the date and time of the order, order ID, transaction ID, subject of the order, price, method and date of payment. In connection with the conclusion of an agreement, we also process your personal data in order to perform the services provided for in the agreement that has been concluded. The extent of this data depends on which personal data is needed to perform the agreement.  Where we receive your data in the performance of an agreement, e.g. from an entity that employs you, we base such processing on our legitimate interest, which in this case is to ensure the efficient and effective processing of the concluded agreement. In this case, we may process your identifying information and contact details. Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Actions taken to complete orders by customers As some customers start placing an order but do not complete it (do not validate the order and do not conclude an agreement with us), we may take steps to ensure that our customers complete the purchase process.  To this end, we can, for example, send emails containing information about an unfinished order and an incentive to complete the transaction.  For the purposes of the activities described above, we may process personal data such as the information provided during the ordering process, in particular your name and email address, as well as information about the contents of your shopping cart, the date on which the transaction was initiated and other data left in connection with the purchase process.  The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, as these actions are aimed at entering into an agreement. Furthermore, we see the basis for the processing as our legitimate interest, which in this case is to increase sales.  Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Handling complaints or withdrawals If you make a complaint or withdraw from the agreement, you provide the personal data contained in the body of the complaint or statement of withdrawal, which includes your name, address, telephone number, email address, bank account number. The provision of data is voluntary, but necessary in order to make a complaint or withdraw from the agreement. Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR
Guarantee handling As a seller, we provide a guarantee for our products, as described in the separate guarantee conditions. The 12-month guarantee extension is conditional on registering the product on our website.  In order to register a product, personal details such as name, country, email address, product type, serial number, date of purchase, as well as details contained within the proof of purchase must be provided. The provision of personal data is voluntary, but necessary for us to be able to extend your guarantee. Without these, it shall not be possible to make use of the extended guarantee.  The basis for the processing of your personal data is the agreement concluded, which also includes the guarantee of the product purchased.   Article 6(1)(b) GDPR
Handling the newsletter When subscribing to the newsletter, you must provide the necessary data to receive the newsletter as specified in the subscription form. Provision of data is a prerequisite for receiving the newsletter. In addition, the mailing system records your IP number, which you used when signing up for the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the email client you use to handle your email and tracks your actions taken in relation to the messages sent to you. Therefore, we also have information on which messages you have opened, within which messages you have clicked on links, etc. In the mailing system, we may also define, on the basis of various criteria related to your activities, interests or other preferences, specific groups or segments of newsletter recipients that influence what kind of messages you receive in the newsletter. The data you provide in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is the performance of the agreement for the provision of electronic services, as well as our legitimate interest, which in this case is the fulfilment of marketing purposes. With regard to the processing of information that does not come from you, but is collected automatically by the mailing system, we rely in this respect on our legitimate interest to analyse the behaviour of newsletter subscribers in order to optimise mailing activities. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link included in each message sent as part of the newsletter, or by simply contacting us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not lead to the deletion of your data from the mailing system. The data is archived for the purpose of possibly establishing, asserting or defending claims relating to the newsletter, as well as to ensure that it can be demonstrated that the newsletter activities were carried out lawfully.  Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Handling comments/feedback When you add a comment/feedback, you must provide the data necessary to publish the comment/feedback received as set out in the comment/feedback form. The provision of data is a prerequisite for the publication of the comment / feedback. In addition, the comment/feedback system records your IP number, which you used when submitting your comment/feedback. The data is processed for the purpose of publishing a comment / feedback, which is our legitimate interest. The comment or feedback you add, together with your data made public within the settings, shall be visible on the website. You can modify or delete your comment or feedback at any time. The deleted comment/feedback, together with your data, shall go into an archive for the possible establishment, asserting or defence of claims related to the comment/feedback. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Correspondence handling When you contact us by email, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the body of your correspondence, in particular your email address and your name. The provision of data is voluntary, but necessary to make contact. In this case, we rely in this respect on our legitimate interest in providing a means of contact. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Fulfilment of tax and accounting obligations In connection with the performance of the agreement, we also fulfil various tax and accounting obligations, in particular the issuing of an invoice, the inclusion of the invoice in our accounting records, the retention of records, etc. In order to issue an invoice, we process data such as name, company, business address, TIN, among others. The provision of data required by tax law is necessary to fulfil the obligations indicated.  Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with the relevant provisions of tax law
Creation of an archive We can create archives for our business: both in traditional and digital form. Any personal data that we have processed in connection with you goes into the archives, so it extent may vary depending on what data has come to us. In this case, we rely on our legitimate interest in organising and structuring personal data carriers.  Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Defence, establishment or enforcement of claims The use of our website, as well as the conclusion of an agreement with us, may give rise to certain claims on our part or yours in the future. Accordingly, we are entitled to process personal data for the purpose of defending, establishing or pursuing claims. For this purpose, we may process any personal data that relates to the claim, so the extent of this may vary depending on what the claim relates to. In this case, we rely on our legitimate interest to protect our interests.  Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Social media handling If you follow our social media profiles or interact with content we publish on social media, we naturally see your data, which is publicly available in your social profile. We only process this data within the respective social network and exclusively for the purpose of operating the respective social network, which is our legitimate interest. Your use of social media websites is subject to the rules and privacy policies of the administrators of those websites, and those administrators provide electronic services to you, fully independently and autonomously of us. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Analysis and statistics using only Anonymous Information We carry out analytical and statistical activities using tools provided by external providers. Within the analytical tools, we only have access to Anonymous Information. We base the processing of Anonymous Information on our legitimate interest in creating, reviewing and analysing statistics related to user activity on the website in order to draw conclusions allowing for the subsequent optimisation of the website.  From the tools level, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific people.  Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Own marketing using only Anonymous Information We carry out marketing activities using tools provided by external providers. As part of the marketing tools, we only have access to Anonymous Information. We base the processing of Anonymous Information on a legitimate interest, which is the creation of Custom Audience Groups based on Anonymous Information and the targeting of advertising within external systems based on Anonymous Information, for the purpose of marketing our own products and services.   From the tools level, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific people.  Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Organisation of promotional activities  To increase sales of products/services, we can run various promotional campaigns, including in collaboration with external partners. Rules relating to the organisation of promotional activities are set out in separate regulations. The extent of the personal data we shall process in connection with the organisation of a promotional event may vary depending on the type of promotional event.  The legal basis for processing your personal data is our legitimate interest, which in this case is marketing and increasing sales of our own products.  Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Ensuring media players, social plug-ins and comments functioning using only Anonymous Information We embed videos from external websites, use social plug-ins and a comment handling system. All of these tools process Anonymous Information. We base the processing of Anonymous Information on a legitimate interest, which in this case is to ensure that you can use additional functions on the website – player, social plugins, comment system.  We do not have access to any other information from the tools, nor do we need this information for anything – Anonymous Information is only processed so that media players, comments and social plug-ins can function.  Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Implementation of data protection obligations  As a data controller, we are obliged to fulfil our data protection obligations. Accordingly, we may process your personal data, insofar as this is necessary for the performance of these obligations (e.g. in the case of processing your request concerning your personal data). The extent of the data depends on what data we need to fulfil the obligation and prove compliance with GDPR.  Furthermore, in this case we also rely on our legitimate interest in securing the data necessary to demonstrate accountability.  Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR

# 4: What information do we have about you?

We have described the scope of the data processed precisely for each processing purpose. Information in this regard can be found above, in Section 3 of the Privacy Policy above.

# 5: What is “Anonymous Information”?

We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our website. This concerns in particular the following information:

  • information about the operating system and web browser,
  • subpages viewed,
  • time spent on the website,
  • transitions between individual sub-pages,
  • clicks on individual links,
  • the source from which you go to the page,
  • the age range you are in,
  • your gender,
  • your approximate location limited to the city/town/village.
  • your interests as determined by your online activity.

This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Anonymous Information“.

Anonymous Information itself is not, in our opinion, personal data because it does not allow us to identify you and we do not compare it with typical personal data we collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions of lawyers, as a precautionary measure, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of this information. 

The processing of Anonymous Information allows us to provide you with the functionalities available on the website. In addition, Anonymous Information is used for analytical and statistical and marketing purposes (e.g. creation of Custom Audience Groups on Facebook, setting, targeting and directing of advertisements). 

Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers under the terms of their regulations of use and privacy policies. It may be used by these providers to provide, improve and manage services, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalise the content and advertising displayed on individual services, websites and applications. You shall find detailed information on this in the section on the tools we use.

# 6: Where do we get your personal data from?

In most cases, you provide it to us yourself. For example, this is the case when you place an order, send a complaint or withdraw from an agreement, communicate via email, and use the functionalities available on the website or external services (e.g. social media).

In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools we use. Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.

Furthermore, in exceptional cases, we may also obtain your personal data from other sources, e.g. when the entity that employs you indicates your data to us as a contact person for contractual matters, or when you represent an entity that concludes an agreement with us. 

# 7: Is your data safe?

We care about the security of your personal data. We have analysed the risks involved in the various processes of processing your data and then implemented appropriate security and data protection measures. We continuously monitor the state of the technical infrastructure, train staff, look at the procedures in place and make the necessary improvements. 

# 8: How long shall we keep your personal data?

We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within the framework of the respective purpose of processing your personal data, and therefore the processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Please note that the termination of the processing of your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete deletion or destruction of your personal data, as the same set of data may be processed for another purpose, for the period indicated for it. Complete deletion or destruction of data occurs when we have completed all purposes and in other cases indicated in GDPR. 

Below you shall find a description of the processing periods:

  • User account maintenance – data related to your user account shall be processed for as long as you have a user account with us;
  • Completion of an order – data relating to an uncompleted order shall be processed for a period of 12 months;
  • Fulfilment of orders and the concluded agreement – agreement-related data is processed for the time necessary for the conclusion and performance of the agreement;
  • Complaints and withdrawals – data related to complaints and withdrawals is processed for the time necessary to handle the complaint or withdrawal;
  • Guarantee handling – data relating to guarantee shall be processed for the duration of your use of the guarantee;
  • Correspondence handling – data relating to correspondence handling shall be processed for the duration of the correspondence between us;
  • Newsletter handling – data related to the sending of the newsletter shall be processed until you withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter;
  • Tax and accounting obligations – data related to the fulfilment of tax and accounting obligations shall be processed for the time prescribed by tax law, usually 5 years after the end of the tax year;
  • Archive – data related to the archive shall be processed until the information contained in the archive is no longer useful;
  • Determination, pursuing and defence of claims – data related to claims shall be processed until the claims expire, and the limitation period for claims may vary in the light of applicable law (e.g. in the case of entrepreneurs it may be 3 years and in the case of consumers 6 years);
  • Social media – data related to audience groups shall be processed until you opt out of interacting with us on social media;
  • Analytics and statistics – data related to analytics and statistics shall be processed until it is no longer useful or you successfully object;
  • Self-marketing – data related to self-marketing shall be processed until it is no longer useful or you successfully object;
  • Organisation of promotional activities – data related to promotional activities shall be processed for the duration of the promotional activity
  • Ancillary tools – data related to ancillary tools shall be processed until it is no longer useful or you successfully object;
  • Data Protection Obligations – data protection related data shall be processed until it is no longer useful, you have successfully lodged an objection or the expiry of the limitation period of our liability as data controller. 

Where we process your personal data on the basis of consent you have given, you may withdraw such consent at any time: either by your action or by contacting us at the contact details provided. Please note that thewithdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

# 9: Who are the recipients of your personal data?

We would venture to say that modern business cannot do without third-party services. We also use such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. External service providers who are involved in the processing of your personal data are:

  • hosting provider – for data storage on the server;
  • mailing system provider – for the use of the mailing system;
  • invoicing system provider – for the purpose of issuing an invoice;
  • CRM system provider – for workflow improvement;
  • chat provider – for contact via chat;
  • pop-up display system provider – for the display of pop-ups;
  • customer service system provider – to improve the customer service process;
  • payment operators – for the purposes of accepting customer payments;
  • landing page management tool provider – for data collection via landing pages;
  • cloud provider – for the use of cloud solutions;
  • accounting offices – for the use of accounting services;
  • law firm – for the provision of legal services to us;
  • maintenance – for the purposes of carrying out technical work on those areas where data is processed;
  • other subcontractors, in particular IT solution providers – for the purposes of working with various subcontractors who may have access to your personal data if they provide services in relation to such access.

If necessary, your data may be shared with a legal adviser or lawyer bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from a legal necessity requiring access to your personal data.

Your personal data may also be forwarded to the tax authorities to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of tax and accounting obligations. This includes, in particular, all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents containing your personal data.

In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, authorities or institutions entitled to access the data under the law, such as police, security services, courts, public prosecutors’ offices.

Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver your order. These companies become independent controllers of your personal data.

What’s more, when it comes to Anonymous Information, providers of tools or plug-ins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are the independent controllers of the data collected in them and may share this data under the terms and conditions they set out in their own regulations and privacy policies, which are beyond our control.  

# 10: Do we transfer your data to third countries or international organisations?

Yes, part of the processing of your personal data may involve transfers to third countries.

We transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools that store personal data on servers located in third countries, in particular in the USA. The same can happen with Anonymous Information. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of protection of personal data through the relevant compliance mechanisms provided by GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.

Currently, your personal data is transferred to third countries in connection with our use of the following solutions:

Type of solution Solution provider Third country
Electronic mail Google USA
Data backup Google USA

In addition, Anonymous Information collected in connection with the use of the tools indicated in the appendix to this privacy policy may be transferred to third countries, in particular the USA.   

# 11: Do we use profiling? Do we make automated decisions based on your personal data?

We do not make decisions regarding you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which would produce legal effects for you or similarly significantly affect you. Yes, we do use tools that may take certain actions depending on the information collected by the tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions do not have a material impact on you, as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the agreement you may conclude with us, etc.

Using certain tools, we may, for example, target you with personalised advertising based on previous actions you have taken on the website or suggest products that may be of interest to you. This is about the so-called behavioural advertising. We encourage you to deepen your understanding of behavioural advertising, particularly with regard to privacy issues. Detailed information, including the ability to manage your behavioural advertising settings, can be found here.

# 12: What rights do you have in relation to the processing of your personal data?

GDPR grants you the following potential rights in relation to the processing of your personal data:

  • The right to access and receive a copy of your data;
  • The right to rectify (correct) your data;
  • The right to erase (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for us to process your data, you can request that we erase it);
  • The right to restrict processing (you can request that we restrict processing to only storing your data or carrying out activities agreed with you if, in your opinion, we have inaccurate data or are processing it unduly); 
  • The right to object to processing (you have the right to object to processing on the basis of a legitimate interest; you should indicate the particular situation which you think justifies us stopping the processing covered by the objection; we shall stop processing your data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate that the grounds for our processing override your rights or that your data is necessary for us to establish, assert or defend our claims);
  • the right to data portability (you have the right to receive from us in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format the personal data you have provided to us on the basis of an agreement or your consent; you can instruct us to send this data directly to another entity);
  • the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data if you have previously given such consent;
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you find that we are processing your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint to the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection or any other competent supervisory authority).

The rules related to the exercise of the rights indicated above are described in detail in Articles 15-21 GDPR. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with those provisions. For our part, we deem it necessary to make it clear to you that the rights indicated above are not absolute and shall not be enjoyed by you in relation to all processing of your personal data.  

 We emphasise that one of the rights indicated above is always available to you: if you consider that we have violated data protection regulations in the processing of your personal data, you shall have the possibility to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection). 

# 13: Do we use cookies and what are they actually?

Our website, like almost all other websites, uses cookies.

Cookies are small textual information stored on your terminal device (e.g. computer, tablet, smartphone) that can be read by our ICT system (our own cookies) or by third-party ICT systems (third-party cookies).

Browser plug-ins to control cookies are also available, such as e.g. Ghostery. The option to control cookies may also be provided by additional software, in particular anti-virus packages, etc.

In addition, there are tools available on the Internet to control certain types of cookies, in particular to collective management of behavioural advertising settings.

We also give you the opportunity to control your cookies directly from our website. We have implemented a special mechanism for managing cookies that allows you to block those cookies you do not wish to have.

Please note that disabling or restricting cookies may prevent you from using some of the features available on our website and may cause difficulties in using the website, as well as many other websites that use cookies. For example, if you block the cookies of social media plug-ins, the buttons, widgets and social features implemented on my website may not be available to you.

# 16: For what purposes do we use our own cookies?

Custom cookies are used to ensure the correct functioning of the various mechanisms of the website, such as remembering the contents of the shopping cart for a certain period of time after adding selected products to it, correct transmission of the form visible on the website, newsletter handling, etc.

Own cookies also store information about the cookie settings you have defined via the cookie management mechanism.

# 18: Do we track your behaviour on our website?

Yes, we use tools from third-party providers that involve collecting information about your activity on our website. These tools are described in detail in the appendix to this Privacy Policy. 

# 19: Are we targeting you with targeted advertising? 

Yes, we use third-party vendor tools where we can target advertising to specific target groups defined by various criteria such as age, gender, interests, occupation, job, activities previously undertaken on our websites. These tools are described in detail in the appendix to this Privacy Policy.

# 20: How can you manage your privacy?

The answer to this question can be found in a number of places in this Privacy Policy when describing individual tools, behavioural advertising, cookie consent, etc. Nevertheless, we have once again gathered this information in one place for your convenience. Below you shall find a list of options for managing your privacy.

  • the cookie settings within your web browser;
  • Browser plug-ins supporting cookie management, e.g. Ghostery;
