If you have any questions regarding your personal data, we are at your disposal at the address hey@designzima.com

There is more than one purpose for processing your personal data. You may find them listed below, followed by a more detailed explanation later on. We have also assigned appropriate legal bases for each purpose.

Orders – details

When placing an order, you must provide the necessary data to fulfill the order. The catalog of data necessary to place an order is always the same. We need your first name, last name, company name, residential and/or registered office and/or business address, tax identification number (NIP), phone number, and email address. Providing this information is voluntary but necessary to place an order.

Each order is recorded in our database, which means that your personal data assigned to the order is accompanied by information about the order, such as ordered services, chosen payment method, and payment deadline.

The data collected in connection with the order is processed for the purpose of performing the contract concluded by placing the order (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), issuing an invoice (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, in conjunction with regulations governing invoicing), taking the invoice into account in the accounting documentation and fulfilling other tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in conjunction with regulations governing tax and accounting obligations), and for archival purposes, for potential defense, identification, or claims settlement needs, as well as to identify a returning customer, which constitutes our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

Order data will be processed for as long as necessary to fulfill the order, and then until the statute of limitations for claims arising from the contract expires. In addition, after this period, we may continue to process data for archival purposes, for potential defense, identification, or claims settlement needs, as well as to identify a returning customer. Remember that we also have an obligation to keep accounting documentation, which may contain your personal data, for the period required by law.

Complaints and withdrawals from a contract – details

If you file a complaint or withdraw from a contract, you provide personal data included in the content of the complaint or statement of withdrawal from the contract, which includes your first and last name, company name, address of residence and/or registered office and/or business address, tax identification number, telephone number, email address, and bank account number. Providing data is voluntary but necessary to file a complaint or withdraw from a contract.

The data provided to us in connection with filing a complaint or withdrawing from a contract is used to carry out the complaint or withdrawal procedure and subsequently for archival purposes, which constitutes our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

The data will be processed for the time necessary to carry out the complaint or withdrawal procedure. Complaint documents will be kept until the expiration of the warranty period. Statements of withdrawal from a contract will be kept together with accounting documentation for the period required by law.

Newsletter – details

By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide us with your first name and email address. Providing data is voluntary but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.

The data you provide us with in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for processing them is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) expressed during the subscription process. As for processing information that does not come from you, but has been collected automatically by our mailing system, we rely on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) consisting of analyzing the behavior of newsletter subscribers to optimize mailing activities.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent as part of the newsletter or simply by contacting us. Despite unsubscribing from the newsletter, your data will still be stored in our database for the purpose of identifying returning subscribers and any claims related to sending you the newsletter, in particular for the purpose of demonstrating the fact of giving consent to receiving the newsletter and the moment of its withdrawal, which constitutes our legitimate interest as referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

You can modify your data provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking on the appropriate link visible in each message sent as part of the newsletter or simply by contacting us.

Handling of correspondence – details

By contacting us, you naturally provide us with your personal data contained in the correspondence, in particular your email address and full name. Providing this information is voluntary but necessary to establish contact.

Your data is processed in this case for the purpose of contacting you, and the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which represents our legitimate interest. The legal basis for processing after the end of contact is also our legitimate interest in the form of archiving the correspondence to ensure that we can demonstrate certain facts in the future (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

The content of correspondence may be subject to archiving, and we are unable to determine exactly when it will be deleted. You have the right to request a presentation of the correspondence history you have had with us (if it has been archived), as well as to demand its deletion, unless archiving is justified by our overriding interests, such as defense against potential claims from your side.

Tax and accounting obligations – details

If we issue an invoice on your behalf, it becomes part of our accounting documentation, which will be stored for the period required by law. Your personal data is processed in this case for the purpose of fulfilling our tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in connection with provisions regulating tax and accounting obligations).

Archive – details

As part of the description of individual purposes of personal data processing listed above, we have indicated the periods for which personal data will be stored. These periods are often associated with archiving specific data for the purpose of enabling us to demonstrate specific facts in the future, reconstructing the course of cooperation with the client, maintaining correspondence, defending against or establishing claims. In this respect, we rely on our legitimate interest as referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Analysis, statistics, optimization – details 

We collect statistical information about user behavior while browsing our websites, such as clicks on links, transitions between subpages, time spent on individual pages, etc. We analyze this information in order to optimize our pages for user experience, effectiveness, and conversion. In most cases, the information processed in this way does not constitute personal data.

The above-described actions are carried out based on our legitimate interest as referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which consists of optimizing our websites.

# 7: For how long will we keep your personal data?

The data retention periods have been indicated separately for each processing purpose. You can find this information within the details dedicated to each specific processing purpose.

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

We can assume that modern business cannot function without third-party services. We also use such services, some of which involve processing your personal data. External service providers who participate in the processing of your personal data include:

• A hosting provider that stores data on the server,
• A cloud computing service provider where backup copies containing your personal data may be stored,
• A mailing system provider where your data is stored if you are a newsletter subscriber,
• A CRM system provider where we store your data to streamline the customer service process and for archival purposes,
• An invoicing system provider where your data is stored for invoicing purposes,
• An accounting office that processes your data visible on invoices,
• Courier companies that process your data to the extent necessary to deliver your order,
• A law firm that gains access to data if necessary to provide legal assistance on our behalf,
• A technical support service provider that gains access to data if technical work is being conducted in areas where personal data is located,
• Other subcontractors who gain access to data if their activities require such access.

Your personal data may also be transferred to tax authorities to the extent necessary to perform tax, settlement, and accounting obligations. This applies in particular to all declarations, reports, financial statements, and other accounting documents containing your personal data.

In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be disclosed to entities, authorities, or institutions authorized to access data under applicable law, such as police services, security services, courts, and prosecutor’s offices.

Furthermore, we use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our website, including:

• Information about the operating system and internet browser you are using,
• Visited pages,
• Time spent on the site,
• Transitions between individual subpages,
• Clicks on specific links,
• The source from which you came to our site,
• Age range and gender,
• Your approximate location limited to the town/city,
• Your interests, which are determined based on your online activity.

In our opinion, this information in itself does not constitute personal data. As these data are collected by external tools that we use, they are also processed by tool providers in accordance with their terms and privacy policies. In general, this information is used to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize content and advertising.

Yes, some of the processing operations of your personal data may involve transferring them 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, particularly in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of protection of personal data through appropriate compliance mechanisms provided by the GDPR, particularly by using standard contractual clauses.

The following tools are used for storing personal data on servers located in third countries:

• Google services as part of the G-Suite package, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland – for all data processed within Google services, including data contained in files subject to synchronization with Google Drive.

We also remind you that we use external tools that may collect anonymous information about you. We have already mentioned this several times in this policy, including in response to the previous question. Providers of these tools often use servers located around the world, particularly in the United States of America (USA), to store the collected information.

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would have legal effects on you or significantly affect you in a similar manner.

However, we do use tools that can take certain actions based on information collected through tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions do not have a significant impact on you because they do not differentiate your situation as a customer or affect the terms of any agreement you may have with us.

We emphasize that within the tools we use, we do not have access to information that would allow us to identify you. The information we are referring to here includes, in particular:

• information about the operating system and internet browser you use,
• third-party pages you visit,
• time spent on the page,
• transitions between individual subpages,
• the source from which you come to our website,
• age range you fall into,
• your gender,
• your approximate location limited to the city,
• your interests determined based on online activity

The above information is not compared with your personal data stored in our databases. This information is anonymous and does not allow us to identify you. This information is stored on the servers of individual tool providers, which can often be located anywhere in the world.

The GDPR grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:

• the right to access your data and obtain a copy of it,
• the right to rectify (correct) your data,
• the right to erasure (if you believe that we are processing your data without a legal basis, you may request that we delete it), 
• the right to restrict processing (you may request that we limit the processing of your data to storage, or agreed-upon actions, if you believe that we have incorrect data or are processing it unlawfully),
• the right to object to the processing of your personal data (you have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests; you should specify a particular situation that justifies us ceasing processing; we will stop processing your data for these purposes unless we demonstrate that the grounds for processing your data override your rights or that your data is necessary for establishing, pursuing or defending legal claims),
• the right to data portability (you have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided us on the basis of a contract or your consent, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; you may instruct us to transfer this data directly to another controller),
• the right to withdraw consent for the processing of personal data, if you previously gave such consent,
• the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (if you believe that we are processing your data unlawfully, you may file a complaint with the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection or another competent supervisory authority).

The rules related to the exercise of the above-mentioned rights have been described in detail in Articles 16-21 of the GDPR. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with these provisions. We would like to emphasize that the aforementioned rights are not absolute and will not apply to all processing activities related to your personal data.

We would like to point out that one of the aforementioned rights is always available to you – if you believe that we have violated the provisions on personal data protection while processing your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).

You can also always ask us to provide you with information about what data we have about you and for what purposes we process it. Simply send a message to the email address at hey@designzima.com.

The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not generally combined with other Google data.
