ARTICLE 10: PERSONAL DATA
The controller of personal data provided by the Buyer while using the Shop is the Seller.
Detailed information about the processing of personal data by the Seller, including other purposes and grounds for data processing, as well as data recipients – can be found in the privacy policy available in the Shop – due to the principle of transparency, according to the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) – “GDPR”.
The purpose of processing Buyer’s data provided by the Buyer in connection with the purchase in the Shop is to process orders. The basis for the processing of personal data in this case is:
- a contract or actions taken at the Buyer’s request in order to conclude the contract (Article 6 sec. 1(b) of the GDPR),
- the Seller’s legal obligation relating to accounting (Article 6 sec. 1(c) of the GDPR) and
- the Seller’s legitimate interest in processing data for the purpose of establishing, investigating or defending possible claims (Article 6 sec. 1(f) of the GDPR).
Providing personal data by the Buyer is voluntary, but at the same time necessary to conclude a contract.
Failure to provide data will prevent the conclusion of a contract in the Shop.
Buyer’s personal data provided in connection with purchases from the Shop will be processed until:
- the contract concluded between the Buyer and the Seller ceases to be valid
- the Seller ceases to be legally obliged to process the Buyer’s data;
- the possibility of asserting claims by the Buyer or Seller, related to a contract concluded via the Shop ceases;
- the Buyer’s objection to the processing of his personal data is accepted, if the processing is based on the legitimate interest of the Seller
- depending on what is applicable in each case.
The Buyer shall have the right to request:
- access to their personal data,
- correction of their personal data,
- deletion of their personal data,
- restriction of the processing of their personal data,
- transfer of their personal data to another controller,
- and the right to:
- object at any time to the processing of data on grounds relating to the Buyer’s particular situation – to the processing of their personal data based on Article 6 sec. 1(f) of the GDPR (i.e. on legitimate interests pursued by the Seller).
To exercise their rights, the Buyer should contact the Seller using the data provided in Article 2 hereof.
In the event that the Buyer considers that their data are being processed unlawfully, the Buyer may lodge a complaint with the competent authority for data protection. In Poland, this authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
ARTICLE 11: RESERVATIONS
The provision of unlawful content by the Buyer is prohibited.
Each order placed in the Shop constitutes a separate contract and requires separate acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. The contract is concluded for the time and purpose of order processing.
Any contract entered into on the basis of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by Polish law, subject to sec. 4.
The choice of Polish law for contracts concluded with Consumers under the Terms and Conditions shall not waive or limit the rights of Consumers under the mandatory rules of the law applicable to that Consumer in situations where there is no choice of law. This means, in particular, that if national regulations applicable to the Consumer provide for protection that is broader than that provided for under these Terms and Conditions or Polish law, such broader protection shall apply.
Contracts concluded on the basis of these Terms and Conditions shall be concluded in English.
None of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions exclude or in any way limit the rights of the Consumer resulting from the provisions of law.
A natural person who concludes or intends to conclude a contract in the Shop that is in direct connection with their business activity, shall be treated as a Consumer and shall be entitled to the same rights as those enjoyed by Consumers, when it follows from the content of that contract that the contract is not of a professional nature for that person. The preceding sentence shall not apply to the provisions set out in Article 9 in the subpart “Out-of-court complaint and redress methods” as well as to the provision of section 4.
Subject to Article 11 sec. 7, in the event of a possible dispute with a Buyer who is not a Consumer, the competent court shall be the one having jurisdiction over the Seller’s registered office.
