Privacy Policy

Collecting general information

When you enter our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server logs) concerns, for example, the type of web browser, operating system used, domain names of the Internet service provider which are used by the user, etc. This only applies to information which does not allow the user to be identified. This information is necessary from a technical point of view in order to provide the user with the desired content of the websites and transferring of this information happens inevitably while using the Internet. We analyze this type of anonymous information for statistical purposes in order to optimize our website and technical issues which are related to it.

Registration on our website

In order to use our personalized services, some personal data is collected during the registration, for example: surname, address, as well as contact and communication details, such as phone number and e-mail address. If a user is registered at our website, he has access to the content and services which are offered only to registered users. In addition, users who are logged-in have the possibility of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time. Of course, we can provide the user with information about his personal data that have been stored by us. If it is not contrary to statutory obligations regarding data storage, we will be happy to correct or delete this data at the user's request. In order to contact us regarding this matter, please use the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.
In order to ensure the user's data security during transmission, we use encryption procedures which correspond with the current state of the art (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Data deletion or blocking

We comply with the data reduction and minimization principle, therefore we only store the user's personal data for as long as it is necessary in order to achieve the goals set out in this document, or in a manner that is compliant with the statutory data storage periods. When the target ceases to be current or when these periods expire, the corresponding data is blocked or deleted routinely and in compliance with statutory provisions.

Using Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ('Google'). Google Analytics uses the so-called 'cookies', which are text files placed on the user's computer in order to enable the website to analyze the way in which the user uses it. The information which is generated by 'cookies' about the user’s use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In case when the IP depersonalization on these websites is activated, the user's IP address will be promptly shortened on the territory of the European Union's Member States or other states or parties of the European Economic Area treaty. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. At the request of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyze the use of the website, create reports regarding website traffic and provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet to the website operator. The IP address provided by the user's browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data held by Google. The user may prevent the saving of 'cookies' by selecting appropriate settings of his browser. However, it should be remembered that in such a case it may not be possible to use all functions of this website to the full extent.

’Cookie’ files

Similarly to many other websites, we use the so-called 'cookie' files. These are small text files sent from the server to the user's hard drive. In this way, we automatically receive certain data through the user's computer and its connection to the Internet, e.g. IP address, used browsers, operating system.
'Cookie' files cannot be used to open programs or transfer viruses onto a computer. Based on the information contained in the 'cookie' files, we can facilitate the user's navigation and make it possible to display our websites properly.
There is no case in which the data registered by us is transferred to third parties, nor is there any connection with personal data being created without the consent of the user.
Of course, the user can, as a rule, browse our site without using the 'cookie' files. Web browsers are usually set in such a way that he accepts the 'cookie' files. The user may disable the use of 'cookie' files at any time by changing the settings of his browser. To learn how to change these settings, use the help function of your web browser. Keep in mind that in case of the 'cookie' files being disabled, it is possible that particular functions of our website may not work correctly.

The right to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

The user has the right to receive information about his personal data being saved with us at any time. The user also has the right to correct, block, or – regardless of saving data for the purpose of realizing a transaction - to delete his personal data. For this purpose, please contact our privacy policy representative, whose contact details can be found at the end of this document.
In order to be able to apply the blocking procedure at any time, this data must be stored in a blocking file for monitoring purposes. It is also possible to request deletion of the data, unless there is a statutory obligation to archive them. If such an obligation exists, we block a user's data at his request.
It is possible to make changes or cancel the consent by informing us about it (with the future effect).

Changes of the privacy policy

We reserve the right to adjust our privacy policy from time to time in order to comply with current statutory requirements or to implement changes regarding our services, e.g. when introducing new services. Then, in case of a new visit, a new and updated privacy policy applies.
