Privacy Policy
1.0 – Our core beliefs regarding user privacy and data protection
User privacy and data protection are human rights
We have a duty of care to the people within our data
Data is a liability, it should only be collected and processed when absolutely necessary
We don’t like spam as much as you do.
We will never sell, rent, or otherwise distribute or make public your personal information
2.0 – Relevant legislation
Along with our business and internal computer systems, this website is designed to comply with the following national and international legislation with regards to data protection and user privacy:
UK Data Protection Act 1988 (DPA)
EU Data Protection Directive 1995 (DPD)
EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR)
Australian Privacy Act 1988 (APA)
This site’s compliance with the above legislation, all of which are stringent in nature, means that this site is likely compliant with the data protection and user privacy legislation set out by many other countries and territories as well. If you are unsure about whether this site is compliant with your own country of residences’ specific data protection and user privacy legislation you should contact our data protection officer (details of whom can be found in section 9.0) for clarification.
3.0 – Personal information that this website collects and why we collect it
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
3.1 – Site visitation tracking
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google does not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 5.0 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages on this website.
3.2 Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Contact us page or an email link like this one, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors defined in section 5.0. Instead, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our own SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices. However, not all mail servers are secured in such a way. Therefore, we would suggest that you always consider email as an insecure medium and not include personal, confidential or otherwise sensitive information within an email.
3.3 Email newsletter
If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor (see section 5.0 below). The email address that you submit will not be stored within this website’s own database or in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within MailChimp’s database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
If you are under 16 years of age you MUST obtain parental consent before joining our email newsletter.
While your email address remains within the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately one per month) newsletter-style emails from us.
4.0 – How we store your personal information
If you submit an order on this website some personal information will be stored in this website’s database. This is currently the only occasion where personal data will be stored on this website. This data is currently stored in an identifiable fashion; a limitation of the content management system that this website is built on (WordPress). In the near future, we aim to change the storage of this data to a pseudonymous fashion meaning that the data would require additional processing using a separately stored ‘key’ before it could be used to identify an individual.
Pseudonymisation is a recent requirement of the GDPR which many web application developers are currently working to fully implement. We are committed to keeping it as a high priority and will implement it on this website as soon as we are able to.
5.0 – Our third-party data processors
We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These third parties have been carefully chosen and all of them comply with the legislation set out in section 2.0. All 3 of these third parties are based in the USA and are EU-U.S Privacy Shield compliant.

Instead, we recommend that you check this page occasionally for any policy changes. Specific policy changes and updates are mentioned in the changelog below.
9.1 Changelog
15/06/2018 – version 1.0
Privacy policy instigated
Terms & Conditions
1. Scope
1.1 These General Terms & Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”), of the Riverdi sp. z o. o. Sp. k (hereinafter “Riverdi”), are the basis of any and all offers, deliveries and services of Riverdi. Riverdi concludes any and all contracts solely on the basis of these GTC. Contradicting terms of conditions of other parties (business partners) are only relevant if Riverdi has so accepted in writing beforehand.
1.2 The valid version of these GTC is currently published on Riverdi’ website www.riverdi.com, where it can be read and printed.
1.3 This GTC are valid towards all contractual partners of Riverdi (“customers”), hence towards enterprises as well as towards consumers. An enterprise is he who runs a business (sec. 1 Polish Commercial Code). For the scope of these GTC, an enterprise is any permanent organization of economic activity, even if not focused on making a profit. Public law entities, educational institutions, and universities are always considered as enterprises. He to whom this does not apply is a consumer by definition of the Polish Consumer Protection Act (”KSchG”). A consumer is any natural person who enters into a transaction for a purpose which is neither commercial nor connected to a self-employed business activity.
1.4 Riverdi concludes contracts exclusively with fully contractually capable natural persons or respective legal entities.
1.5 If an order has been placed by a person who does not meet these prerequisites (1.4), Riverdi is entitled to call the contract void within a reasonable time period after the said defect has been perceived by Riverdi.
2. Offer and Conclusion of the Contract
2.1 All offers of Riverdi are non-binding. A contract binding for Riverdi is only concluded by the following actions and/or declarations by Riverdi:
dispatch of the written order confirmation, or
dispatch of the ordered goods, or
providing the ordered service.
2.2 Riverdi reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any order without reasons to be given.
2.3 In case Riverdi cannot accept an order from a customer, for example, because the ordered product or service is not available, Riverdi is obliged to both inform the customer without any delay and return any payments already made. Same applies if the offer of a customer is not accepted by Riverdi (sec. 5i Polish Consumer Protection Act). This obligation does not apply if the processing of the order is obstructed by a technical defect (such as mail server crash etc.).
3. Right of Withdrawal and Return Policy (Consumers Only)
3.1 A consumer can call a contract entered into over distance (“distance contract”) and/or a declaration regarding distance contract void within seven working days – whereby Saturday does not count as a working day. Regarding contracts for the supply of goods, the avoidance period starts on the date of receipt by the consumer. Regarding service-contracts, the avoidance period starts on the date the contract has been signed. It is sufficient if the declaration of avoidance is sent within the avoidance period (date of postmark). The avoidance of the contract must be executed by sending a written notice of avoidance as well as in compliance with the process of returning goods (set forth in sec. 3.6 below). Such notices of avoidance must be sent to:
Riverdi sp. z o. o. Sp. k
Customers Service
Nowy Swiat 36
80299 Gdansk
Poland
Telephone: +48 58 7703116
Email: [email protected]
3.2 The risks of return and the return delivery costs (postage, packing etc.) shall be borne by the consumer.
3.3 If the consumer calls a contract void in accordance with these regulations (sec. 5e Consumer Protection Act), then (a) Riverdi has to refund the payments made by the consumer and to compensate for the necessary and useful expenses made by the consumer as and when (b) the consumer fulfills his obligation to return the services received and to pay the seller (Riverdi) a reasonable fee for the use, including a compensation for the meanwhile occurred reduction of the value of the goods and services. Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within thirty days. For the consumer this period starts with the dispatch of the goods or the demand of return, for the seller (Riverdi) this period starts upon receipt. A deterioration of the goods due to damage caused during the return shipment can be avoided by the consumer by using packaging suitable for transportation (e.g. the original shipment packaging or equally durable alternate shipment packaging). A deterioration of the goods may also result if the original product packaging is no longer available. In the case of loss of the original product packaging, the seller (Riverdi) reserves the right to compensation for the depreciation caused by the loss of the original product packaging. These costs can be avoided by using original product packaging and original shipment packaging in case of return shipment.
3.4 It is a prerequisite for the refunding of the purchase price that the returned goods are undamaged and that the returned shipment has been fully paid for. The packaging and shipment cost will not be refunded.
3.5 The following goods are excluded from the right of avoidance stipulated above:
Goods produced according to consumer specifications, goods tailored to specific individual consumer preferences and goods which are of such nature that they are not suitable for return (e.g. single electronic components, such as microcontrollers and chips),
goods previously marked as not reversible/not returnable, quickly perishable goods and goods with an expiration date about to expire (sec. 5e Polish Consumer Protection Act);
Unsealed software and/or already activated software (the latter especially if delivered without data carrier), audio- and video records;

Furthermore, in such case Riverdi has the choice (i) either to insist on the fulfillment of the contract, or (ii) to call the contract void subject to a period of grace of at least two weeks and to then use the goods otherwise.
