Short version: I process only the data needed to operate dawidgicala.eu, respond to enquiries, provide services, meet legal obligations, secure the website and – where you consent – measure traffic and advertising effectiveness.

  • contact data – name, email address, company name and the content of your message;
  • business and contractual data – information needed to prepare an offer, perform a service, issue accounting documents and manage cooperation;
  • technical data – IP address, browser and device information, timestamps, requested URLs, referrer information, error logs and security-related events;

Please do not send special-category data under Article 9 GDPR or other highly sensitive information unless it is genuinely necessary and there is a lawful basis for doing so.

Data may be collected:

  • directly from you through the contact form or email correspondence;
  • during cooperation, contract performance and accounting;

6. Contact forms and email

When you use the contact form, the website may process your name, company name, email address and message. The form may also use technical anti-abuse information such as an IP address or security log.

Providing the data marked as required is voluntary, but without it I may be unable to respond to your enquiry. Data provided in optional fields is voluntary.

If your message directly concerns a possible service agreement, the data is processed to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. General correspondence may also be processed on the basis of legitimate interest in handling business communication.

7. Clients, contracts and accounting

If cooperation begins, additional data may be processed to perform the agreement, manage the project, issue invoices or other accounting documents, comply with tax obligations and protect legal claims.

Where you act on behalf of a company, your professional contact data may be processed as part of legitimate business communication and contract management.

8. Server logs and website security

The hosting environment and website security systems may automatically record technical information such as IP address, requested URL, request time, browser information, referrer, response status and error information.

Logs are used for technical administration, troubleshooting, security, prevention of abuse and protection against attacks. They are not used to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are strictly necessary for the website to function, remember security or consent settings, or provide a service expressly requested by you. Optional cookies are used only where the applicable consent requirements are met.

Cookie categories

  • Necessary – security, basic website functions and storage of consent preferences;
  • Functional or preference – optional features or remembered choices, where used;
  • Analytics – understanding how visitors use the website;
  • Advertisement / marketing – measuring campaigns, conversions and, where enabled, remarketing.

The exact cookies, providers, purposes and storage periods may change as the website is updated. The current list is available in the CookieYes preference centre.

10. Analytics and advertising tools

Depending on the current configuration and your consent, the website may use services such as Google Analytics to measure website traffic and Google Ads technologies to measure advertising performance and conversions. Where activated, other marketing tags such as Meta Pixel may also be used.

These tools may process online identifiers, cookie identifiers, device and browser data, approximate location, interaction events and conversion information. Optional analytics and marketing technologies should not be activated before the required consent is obtained.

Consent choices are managed through the website’s consent management platform, currently CookieYes.

11. Recipients and processors

Personal data may be made available only where necessary to categories of recipients such as:

  • hosting, infrastructure, backup and website security providers;
  • email and communication service providers;
  • analytics, consent-management and advertising technology providers, where relevant and subject to consent;
  • accounting, tax, legal or professional advisers;
  • payment or banking providers where required for a transaction;
  • public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

Providers acting on my behalf receive data only to the extent necessary for the relevant service and are required to protect it under applicable data-protection rules.

12. Transfers outside the EEA

Some technology providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where such a transfer occurs, it is made using a mechanism permitted by Chapter V GDPR, such as an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful safeguard, as applicable to the provider and transfer.

Because the legal status and infrastructure of global service providers can change, the details applicable to a particular provider are also described in that provider’s privacy documentation.

13. Retention periods

Data is not kept longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In particular:

  • enquiry and correspondence data is kept for the time needed to handle the matter and, where justified, for the period necessary to establish, pursue or defend claims;
  • client, billing and accounting data is kept for the periods required by Polish tax, accounting and other applicable law;
  • security and server logs are kept only as long as reasonably necessary for administration, diagnostics and security, subject to the hosting or security provider’s retention settings;
  • data based on consent is processed until consent is withdrawn or until the relevant purpose or retention period ends, whichever occurs first;
  • cookie lifetimes are shown in the CookieYes preference centre and may differ by cookie.

14. Your GDPR rights

Depending on the circumstances and legal basis, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data and receive a copy;
  • rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request erasure of data;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • receive data in a portable format where the conditions for portability are met;
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing where applicable;
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
  • lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, contact contact@dawidgicala.eu. I may ask for information necessary to verify your identity before carrying out a request.

The Polish supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych – UODO). Under GDPR, you may also complain to another competent supervisory authority, in particular in the EU/EEA state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

15. Automated decision-making and profiling

I do not use personal data to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you.

Advertising platforms may perform their own profiling or audience modelling if you consent to marketing technologies. Such processing is governed by the settings and privacy rules of the relevant provider as well as your consent choices.

16. External links, embedded content and social media

The website may contain links to third-party websites or social media profiles. Once you leave dawidgicala.eu, the processing of your data is governed by the privacy policy of the external service.

If third-party embedded content is used, it may require external resources or cookies. Where required, such content should remain blocked until the relevant consent is given.

17. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used to protect data, including encrypted HTTPS transmission, access controls, software updates, backups and security measures appropriate to the website and the risks involved.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security, but measures are maintained and updated with the aim of reducing the risk of unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure.

18. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated when the website, providers, legal requirements or data-processing practices change. The current version and update date are always published on this page.

For any privacy question, contact contact@dawidgicala.eu.

This Privacy Policy is intended to transparently describe the processing carried out through dawidgicala.eu. It is not a substitute for individual legal advice in a specific dispute or regulatory matter.
