The Controller may provide personal data to a third country, while the Controller ensures, that it shall only be a third country which is considered to provide adequate level of protection – in accordance with the GDPR Regulation, and in the case of other countries that the transfer will take place on the basis of standard data protection clauses. The Controller ensures that the data subject has a right to get a copy of their data. The Controller provides personal data to a third country only in case and scope necessary to execute a certain purpose of data processing consistent with this privacy policy.

PROFILING ON THE WEBSITE
The GDPR Regulation requires the Controller to inform about the automated decision-making process, including profiling referred to in Article 22, par. 1 and 4 of the GDPR Regulation, and – at least in those cases – the vital information concerning the decision-making process as well as the meaning and foreseeable consequences of processing for the person being the data subject. Bearing in mind the above, the Controller specifies in this point of the privacy policy the information concerning the possible profiling.
The Controller may use profiling on the Website for direct marketing purposes, yet the decisions made on its basis by the Controller do not concern the conclusion or rejection to conclude the contract, or the possibility to make use of electronic services.
Profiling on the Website consists in automatic analysis or forecast of the conduct of a given person on the Website of the Website, e.g., by viewing the page of a specific Product on the Website. The condition for such profiling is for the Controller to have the personal data of the person, so that they can later send them e.g., a discount code.
The data subject shall have the right not to depend on the decision, which is only based on automated processing, including profiling, and has some legal effects on the person or similarly affects them.
THE RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT
The right to access, rectify, restrict, erase or transmit – the data subject shall have the right to demand the Controller to have access to their personal data, rectify, erase (“the right to be forgotten”) or restrict the processing and shall have the right to object to the processing and transmit their data.

The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory body – the person whose data are being processed by the Controller shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory body in a manner and mode specified in the provisions of the GDPR Regulation and the Polish law, in particular the Personal Data Protection Act. The supervisory body in Poland shall be the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.
The right to object – the data subject shall have the right, at any time, to lodge a complaint – for reasons related to their particular situation – as regards the processing of their personal data based on Article 6, par. 1, point e) (public interest or official authority) or f) (legitimate interest of the controller) in the case of profiling based on the provisions. The Controller in such a case must stop processing the personal data, unless they show the existence of legally significant and justified bases for the processing, overriding the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the bases for determining, pursuing, or defending the claims.
The right to object as regards direct marketing – in the case the personal data are being processed for the needs of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right, at any time, to lodge a complaint as regards the processing of their personal data for the needs of such marketing, including profiling, to the extent to which the processing is related to direct marketing.
