1.GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1.This privacy policy of the Online Store is for informational purposes only, which means it does not impose any obligations on Service Recipients or Customers of the Online Store. The privacy policy primarily outlines the rules for processing personal data by the Administrator in the Online Store, including the grounds, purposes, and duration of personal data processing, as well as the rights of data subjects and information on the use of Cookies and analytical tools in the Online Store.

Official text of the GDPR Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679
1.4.Use of the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary. Likewise, providing personal data by the Service Recipient or Customer using the Online Store is voluntary, with two exceptions: (1) conclusion of contracts with the Administrator – failure to provide the personal data necessary for concluding and performing a Sales Agreement or Electronic Service agreement with the Administrator, as indicated on the Online Store website and in the Store Regulations and this privacy policy, will result in the inability to conclude such an agreement. In this case, providing personal data is a contractual requirement, and if the data subject wishes to conclude an agreement with the Administrator, they are obliged to provide the required data. The scope of data required to conclude a contract is always indicated in advance on the Online Store website and in the Store Regulations; (2) statutory obligations of the Administrator – providing personal data is a legal requirement arising from generally applicable laws imposing an obligation on the Administrator to process personal data (e.g., data processing for tax or accounting purposes), and failure to provide such data will prevent the Administrator from fulfilling these obligations.
1.5.The Administrator takes special care to protect the interests of data subjects whose personal data it processes, and in particular is responsible for and ensures that the data collected is: (1) processed lawfully; (2) collected for specified, lawful purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; (3) factually correct and adequate in relation to the purposes for which it is processed; (4) stored in a form that permits identification of the data subject for no longer than is necessary for the purposes of processing; and (5) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
1.6.Taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity of harm to the rights or freedoms of natural persons, the Administrator implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing is carried out in accordance with this Regulation and to be able to demonstrate this. These measures are reviewed and updated as necessary. The Administrator uses technical measures to prevent unauthorized persons from acquiring or modifying personal data transmitted electronically.
1.7.All words, expressions, and acronyms used in this privacy policy and beginning with a capital letter (e.g., Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) should be understood in accordance with their definition in the Store Regulations available on the Online Store website.

5.PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE
5.1.The GDPR Regulation imposes an obligation on the Administrator to inform about automated decision-making, including profiling as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR Regulation, and – at least in those cases – important information about the principles of their making, as well as the significance and expected consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Administrator provides information in this section of the privacy policy about possible profiling.
5.2.The Administrator may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made on its basis by the Administrator do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Agreement or the possibility to use Electronic Services in the Online Store. The result of using profiling in the Online Store may be, for example, granting a discount to a person, sending a discount code, reminding about unfinished purchases, sending a proposal for a Product that may match the interests or preferences of a person, or offering better terms compared to the standard offer of the Online Store. Despite profiling, it is up to the person to decide whether they wish to use the discount or better terms received in this way and make a purchase in the Online Store.
5.3.Profiling in the Online Store consists of automatic analysis or prediction of a person’s behavior on the Online Store website, e.g., by adding a specific Product to the cart, browsing the page of a specific Product in the Online Store, or by analyzing the purchase history in the Online Store. Such profiling requires the Administrator to have the person’s personal data in order to send, for example, a discount code.
5.4.The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.
