This Privacy Policy describes the rules for handling personal data obtained by the Administrator through the website with the domain https://www.shop.polvinyl.com (hereinafter: “Shop”) and the use of cookies.

This Privacy Policy applies to every entity using the Shop (hereinafter: “User”).

Handling of Personal Data

The Service collects personal data voluntarily provided by the User in connection with their use of the Service. The User’s personal data is protected in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 and applicable national and community regulations.

Personal data collected through the Shop may include, in particular: the User’s first and last name, the User’s email address, the User’s correspondence address, the User’s phone number, and in the case of individuals conducting business activities, the User’s tax identification number (NIP) and the address of the business conducted by them. The scope of collected personal data depends on the User’s actions and is related to the activities they perform on the website.

Data collected through the Shop is not disclosed to third parties unless:

• The User gives consent to such disclosure, or
• The necessity of such disclosure arises from universally applicable regulations, or
• The disclosure to a third party is necessary for the conclusion of a contract for the provision of services offered through the Shop or for the performance of such contract.

Data collected through the Shop is used for the following purposes:

• Execution of a Sales Agreement or an agreement for the provision of an Electronic Service or taking actions at the request of the person whose data is concerned, before concluding the aforementioned agreements.
• Sending a “Newsletter” and other commercial information, provided that the User has given explicit, separate, and prior consent to receive them.

The User has the right to access their personal data, correct them, request their limitation or deletion. Furthermore, the User has the right to object to the processing of data and the right to request the transfer of their data.

The User can withdraw consent to further processing of their personal data at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent before its withdrawal.

The User has the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of their data by the Administrator to the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.

Data provided by the User may be transferred to entities technically providing certain services necessary for using the Shop and providing and performing services through it. This applies in particular to providing information about the domain registrant to entities that are operators of internet domains (primarily Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa j.b.r NASK), payment processing services, or other entities with whom the Administrator cooperates in this regard.

The Administrator has taken due care to adequately secure the personal data provided, particularly against unauthorized access.

Personal data collected by the Administrator is stored for the period and to the extent necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data is processed. The Administrator deletes personal data that has become unnecessary for processing or for which the User has withdrawn consent to process.

Information about Cookies

The Shop uses cookies.

Cookies (also known as “cookies”) are computer data, in particular text files, that are stored on the end device of the Shop User and are intended for using the Shop’s web pages. Cookies of this type typically contain the name of the website they come from, the time they are stored on the end device, and a unique number.

The entity placing cookies on the end device of the Shop User and accessing them is the operator of the Shop or entities cooperating with it.

Cookies are used for the following purposes:

• Creating statistics that help understand how Shop Users use the website, enabling improvement of its structure and content;
• Maintaining the User’s session on the Shop (after logging in), so that the User does not have to enter their login and password on each subpage of the Shop;
• Determining the user’s profile to display them tailored materials in advertising networks, especially Google and Facebook networks.

Two main types of cookies are used within the Shop: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. “Session” cookies are temporary files that are stored on the User’s end device until they log out, leave the website, or turn off the software (web browser). “Persistent” cookies are stored on the User’s end device for the time specified in the cookie parameters or until they are deleted by the User.

Web browsing software (web browser) usually allows cookies to be stored on the User’s end device by default. Shop Users can change their settings in this regard. The web browser allows you to delete cookies. It is also possible to automatically block cookies. Detailed information on this subject is available in the help or documentation of the web browser.

Limiting the use of cookies may affect some functionalities available on the Shop’s web pages.

Cookies placed on the User’s end device and used may also be used by advertising operators and partners cooperating with the operator, as well as payment operators.

We recommend reading the privacy policy of these companies to learn about the rules for using cookies used in statistics: Google Analytics Privacy Policy.

Cookie files may be used by advertising networks, especially the Google network, to display ads tailored to the way the user uses the Shop. For this purpose, they may retain information about the user’s navigation path or the time spent on a given page.

Regarding information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit information resulting from cookies using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
