1: Who is the administrator of your personal data?

The administrator of your personal data is Tomasz Cholewa, operating under the business name Cloudowski Tomasz Cholewa, al. Jana Pawła II 43A/37B, 01-101 Warsaw, NIP: 9462402453, REGON: 061438223.

This Privacy Policy applies to the cloudowski.com website.

With regard to social media profiles related to our website, according to the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the social network provider is a joint controller of personal data together with the controller of the respective profile. Details on the processing of personal data by individual social media providers can be found here:

2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?

As part of the implementation of data protection in my organization, a decision has been made not to appoint a data protection officer due to the fact that it is not mandatory in my situation.
In matters related to data protection and privacy in general, you can contact [email protected] by email.
In terms of social media, you can additionally contact the administrators of the social networks we maintain our profiles on directly.

3: What purposes do we process personal data for?

There are more than one of these purposes. Below is a list of them, along with a more detailed description. We have also assigned corresponding legal bases for processing to the specific purposes:

Processing purpose	Overview of the purpose of processing	Legal basis
User account management	When you create a user account, you must provide the data necessary to create an account specified in the registration form. Providing the data is a condition for creating an account. As part of editing your account data, you can provide your further data in accordance with the available options within the account. If you create an account through integration with a social network account, based on your prior authorization we will gain access to certain data collected within the social network account (name, email address, profile picture). In addition, our system used for user accounts records your IP number, which you used when registering a user account. The data is processed in order to provide the user account service to you. After deletion of your user account, the data goes into an archive for the possible establishing, investigation or defense of claims related to the user account service.	Article 6(1)(b) RODO
Order processing and contract handling	When placing an order, you must provide the data necessary for its implementation specified in the order form. Providing the data is a condition for placing an order. In addition, the system used to handle the order process saves your IP number, which you used when placing the order. Each order is recorded in a database, which means that your personal data assigned to the order is also accompanied by order-related information such as the date and time of placing the order, the order ID number, the transaction ID, the subject of the order, the price, the method and date of payment, the date and time of download (in the case of digital content). In connection with the formation of a contract, we may also process your other personal data in order to perform the services provided for in the contract that has been concluded. The scope of this data depends on which personal data is needed to perform the contract. When we receive your data as part of executing a contract, e.g. from an entity that employs you, we base such processing on our legitimate interest, which in this case is to ensure the efficient and effective handling of the concluded contract. In this case, we may process your identifying and contact data. The data is processed for the purpose of entering into and performing the contract. Once the contract has been executed, the data goes into the archive for the purpose of possibly establishing, asserting or defending claims related to the contract. Data also goes into accounting records for the purpose of meeting tax obligations.	Article 6(1)(b) RODO, Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Actions taken to complete orders by customers	Due to the fact that some customers start placing an order but do not finalize it (do not confirm the order and do not conclude a contract with us), we may take steps to ensure that our customers complete the purchase process. For this purpose, we may, for example, send emails containing information about the unfinished order and an incentive to finalize the transaction. For the purposes of the activities described above, we may process such personal data as the information provided during the ordering process, in particular your name and email address, as well as information about the contents of your shopping cart, the date the transaction began, and other data left in connection with the shopping process that has begun. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6(1)(b) of the RODO, as these actions are aimed at concluding a contract. In addition, we see the basis for processing as our legitimate interest, which in this case is to increase sales.	Article 6(1)(b) RODO, Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Handling complaints or withdrawals	If you make a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you provide personal data included in the content of the complaint or withdrawal statement. Provision of data is a condition for submitting a withdrawal statement or complaint. The data is processed in order to handle the withdrawal or complaint process. Once such a process has been carried out, the data goes into an archive for the possible establishment, investigation or defense of claims related to the handling of the withdrawal or complaint process. Data also goes into accounting records for the purpose of meeting tax obligations.	Article 6(1)(c) of the RODO in connection with the relevant provisions on the right of withdrawal and liability for compliance with the contract, Article 6(1)(b) of the RODO
Newsletter handling	When signing up for the newsletter, you must provide the data necessary to receive the newsletter specified in the sign-up form. Providing the data is a condition for receiving the newsletter. In addition, the mailing system records your IP number that you used when signing up for the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the mail client you use for email, and tracks your actions taken in connection with messages sent to you. Accordingly, we also have information on which messages you have opened, within which messages you have clicked on links, etc. In the mailing system, we may also define, based on various criteria related to your activities, interests or other preferences, specific groups or segments of newsletter recipients that influence what kind of messages you receive in the newsletter. The data you provide in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is the performance of the contract for the provision of electronic services, as well as our legitimate interest, which in this case is the fulfillment of marketing purposes. As for the processing of information that does not come from you, but is collected automatically by the mailing system, we rely in this regard on our legitimate interest to analyze the behavior of newsletter subscribers in order to optimize mailing activities. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the designated link included in each message sent as part of the newsletter, or by simply contacting us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not lead to the deletion of your data from the mailing system. The data goes into an archive for the purpose of possibly establishing, asserting or defending claims related to the newsletter, as well as for the purpose of being able to demonstrate that the newsletter activities were conducted in accordance with the law.	Article 6(1)(b) RODO, Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Storing User Content	When submitting User Content (as defined in our terms and conditions), such as a comment or opinion, you must provide the personal data necessary for this purpose. Providing the data is a condition for submitting User Content. In addition, our ICT system records your IP number that you used when submitting User Content. The ICT system that handles User Content may be operated by a third-party provider. In such a situation, your use of the system is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the third-party provider. For details on the tools of third-party providers, please see the section on the tools we use. The data is processed for the purpose of publishing the User Content on the site or storing it in the ICT system associated with the site, which constitutes the performance of the service provided to you electronically in accordance with our terms and conditions. If you submit User Content with the purpose of publishing it on the service, the User Content you submit, along with the accompanying personal information, is publicly available on the service. You may modify or delete the submitted User Content at any time. The deleted User Content, together with your personal data, goes into an archive for the purpose of possibly establishing, asserting or defending claims related to the Digital Content and demonstrating accountability.	Article 6(1)(b) RODO
Contact and correspondence handling	When you contact us through available means of communication, e.g. e-mail, social messaging, chat rooms, etc., you naturally provide your personal data contained in the content of your correspondence. Providing your data is a condition for establishing contact. In addition, the communication system records your IP number that you used when sending a message. The communication system (e.g. chat, instant messaging) may be operated by a third-party provider.

For details on the tools of third-party providers, please see the section on the tools we use. Data is processed for the purpose of communication, which is our legitimate interest. Once the communication has been completed, the data goes into an archive for the possible establishment, investigation or defense of claims related to the communication.	Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Implementation of tax and accounting obligations	In connection with the performance of the contract, we also carry out various tax and accounting obligations, in particular in the form of issuing an invoice, including the invoice in our accounting records, keeping records, etc. In order to issue an invoice, we process such data as name, company, business address, TIN, among others. Provision of data required by tax law is necessary to fulfill the indicated obligations.	Article 6(1)(c) of the RODO in connection with the relevant provisions of tax law
Creating an archive	For the purposes of our business, we may create archives: both in traditional and digital form. The archives include personal data that we have processed in connection with you. The scope of the archives may vary depending on what data has come to us and what extent of data is justified in terms of archives. In this case, we rely on our legitimate interest in organizing and arranging personal data carriers.	Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Defense, establishment or redress of claims	The use of our website, as well as the conclusion of a contract with us, may give rise to certain claims in the future on our side or yours. Accordingly, we are entitled to process personal data for the purpose of defending, establishing or redressing claims. For this purpose, we may process any personal data that is related to the claim in question, so the extent of the processing may vary depending on what the claim is about. In this case, we rely on our legitimate interest to protect our interests in this regard.	Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Creating groups of advertising recipients	Your email address stored in our database can be sent to a specific advertising system (e.g. Facebook Ads, LinkedIN Ads) in order to create an audience of advertisements using that email address. When using this feature, the email address is hashed before being sent to the specific system to create a group of recipients. The e-mail address will be used in the matching process conducted by the respective advertising system. The advertising system does not share the email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the email address immediately after the matching process is completed. The advertising system implements processes and procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address sent to it and the set of user identifiers forming the audience created using the email address by, among other things, applying technical and physical safeguards. The creation of an advertising audience using your email address constitutes our legitimate interest, which in this case is the achievement of our marketing objectives.	Article 6(1)(f) RODO
Social media support	If you follow our social media profiles or interact with content we publish on social media, we naturally see your data, which is publicly available in your social media profile. We process this data only within the respective social network and only for the purpose of operating the respective social network, which is our legitimate interest. If you contact us via private message, you naturally provide us with your personal data contained in the content of the correspondence, in particular your image and name. Your data is processed in this case for the purpose of contacting you, and the basis for processing is our legitimate interest. It may happen that we are the party initiating contact with you via social media, in order to offer cooperation, in which case your data will be processed for the purpose of seeking potential contractors, offering and establishing cooperation, which is our legitimate interest.

Article 6(1)(f) RODO

4: What information do I have about you?

We have described the scope of the data processed in relation to each purpose of processing. Information in this regard can be found above, in section 3 of the Privacy Policy. Among the data are information such as:

name,
e-mail address,
telephone number,
IP address,
delivery address,
invoice data,
bank account number,
details of orders placed,
data collected through a mailing system,
information contained in or accompanying User Content,
information visible in your social media profiles,
information contained in your correspondence,
Anonymous Information.

5: What is ‘Anonymous Information’?

We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our website. This includes, in particular, the following information:

information about your operating system and browser,
pages viewed,
time spent on the site,
transitions between pages,
clicks on specific links,
mouse movements,
page scrolling,
the source you came to the page from,
the age range you are in,
your gender,
your approximate location limited to your town or city.
your interests or other preferences as determined by your online activities,
video recordings of your sessions on our sites,
heat maps illustrating your behaviour on our sites.

This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as ‘Anonymous Information’.

Anonymous Information in itself does not, in our view, have the character of personal data, as it does not allow us to identify you and we do not collate it with the typical personal data we collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the character of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of this information.

We are not able to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you, as we are not able to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From the tools that collect Anonymous Information, we only have access to a set of statistics and information that is not assigned to specific individuals.

The processing of Anonymous Information allows us to provide you with the functionality available on the website. Furthermore, Anonymous Information is used for analytical and statistical purposes as well as for marketing purposes, such as setting and targeting advertisements.

Anonymous information is also processed by tool providers under the conditions of their terms of use and privacy policies. It may be used by these providers to deliver and improve their services, to manage them, to develop new services, to measure the effectiveness of advertising, to protect against fraud and abuse, and to personalise the content and advertising displayed on individual services, websites and applications. Please see the section on the tools we use for more detailed information related to this.

6: Where do I get your personal data from?

In most cases, you provide it to me yourself. For example, this is the case when you register a user account, place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, send a complaint or withdraw from a contract, contact us via email or chat, and use the functionalities available on our Site or on external services (e.g. social networks).

In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by tools we use. Please see the section on the tools we use for details on the tools of external providers.

In exceptional cases, we may also obtain your personal data from other sources, e.g. when the entity that employs you indicates your data to us as a contact person for contractual matters, or when you represent an entity that enters into a contract with us.

7: Is the data safe?

We care about the security of your personal data. We analyse the risks involved in the various ways of processing your data and then implement appropriate security and personal data protection measures. We monitor the state of the technical infrastructure on an ongoing basis, train our staff, look at the procedures in place and make the necessary improvements.

8: How long will we store your personal data?

We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within the framework of a given purpose for personal data processing, and therefore processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Please note that the termination of processing of your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete erasure or destruction of your personal data, as the same set of data may be processed for another purpose for the period of time indicated for that purpose. Complete erasure or destruction of data occurs when we have completed all purposes as well as in other cases indicated in the RODO.

Please note that withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.

9: Who are the recipients of your personal data?

We would venture to say that modern business cannot do without services provided by third parties. We also make use of such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. Third-party service providers that are involved in the processing of your personal data are:

Your personal data may also be provided to the tax authorities to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of tax and accounting obligations. This includes, in particular, all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents containing your personal data.

In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, authorities or institutions entitled to access the data on the basis of the law, such as police services, security services, courts, prosecution offices.

Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver your order. These companies become independent controllers of your personal data.

When it comes to Anonymous Information, access is granted to providers of tools or plug-ins that collect Anonymous Information. The providers of these tools are independent controllers of the data collected in them and may share this data under the terms and conditions they set out in their own terms and conditions and privacy policies, over which we have no control.

10: Do we transfer data to third countries or international organisations?

Yes, part of the processing of your personal data may involve the transfer of your personal data to third countries.

We transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools using resources located in third countries, in particular in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection through the relevant compliance mechanisms provided for by the RODO, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.

Currently, your personal data is transferred to third countries in connection with our use of the following solutions:

Type of solution	Solution provider	Third country

In addition, Anonymous Information collected in connection with the use of the tools indicated in the annex to this privacy policy may be transferred to third countries, in particular the USA.

11: Do we use profiling?

We do not make decisions to you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects on you or similarly affect you in a material way. Yes, we do use tools that may take certain actions depending on the information collected through tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions do not significantly affect you as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the contract you may enter into with us, etc.

By using certain tools, we may, for example, target you with personalised advertising based on previous actions you have taken on the Site or suggest products that may be of interest to you. This is known as behavioural advertising. We encourage you to learn more about behavioural advertising, particularly with regard to privacy issues. You will find detailed information, including the possibility of managing your settings with regard to behavioural advertising, here.

12: What rights do you have?

The RODO grants you the following potential rights in relation to the processing of your personal data:

the right to rectify (‘correct’) your data;
the right to erasure (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for us to process your data, you can request that we erase it);
the right to restrict the processing of your data (you can request that we restrict the processing of your data only to storing it or carrying out activities agreed with you, if in your opinion we have incorrect data or are processing it unfoundedly);
the right to object to processing (you have the right to object to processing on the basis of a legitimate interest; you should indicate the particular situation which you think justifies us stopping the processing covered by the objection; we will stop processing your data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate that the grounds for our processing override your rights or that your data is necessary for us to establish, assert or defend our claims);
the right to data portability (you have the right to receive from us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format the personal data you have provided to us under a contract or your consent; you can have this data sent directly to another party);

The rules related to the exercise of the rights indicated above are described in detail in Articles 16-21 of the RODO. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with these provisions. For our part, we consider it necessary to explain to you that the rights indicated above are not absolute and you will not be entitled to them in relation to all processing activities of your personal data.

We would like to emphasise that one of the rights indicated above is always available to you: if you consider that we have violated data protection regulations in the processing of your personal data, you have the possibility to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).
