Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets out the rules for the processing and protection of personal data. The document also explains why we collect and process personal data in the course of our business activities.

  1. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

    Personal data is any information that allows, without undue effort, one person to be distinguished from others. It may concern that person directly (such as first and last name, identification number, and sometimes even an email address or online account) or information that does not describe them directly. For example, it may relate to their characteristics, health status, views, place of residence, habits, race, or religion.

  2. WHAT PERSONAL DATA ARE WE REFERRING TO IN OUR CASE?

    These are the data provided to us by our Clients, Contractors, Associates, and Employees in connection with the use of our services, cooperation with us, or employment with us. We process this data.

  3. WHAT DOES “PROCESSING” MEAN?

    Data processing means any operation we can perform on personal data—both active use, such as collecting, retrieving, recording, combining, modifying, or disclosing, and passive actions, such as storing, restricting, deleting, or destroying.

  4. WHO IS THE DATA CONTROLLER (I.E., WHO DECIDES ABOUT PROCESSING AND SECURITY)?

    The controller of your data is RIVERDI Sp. z o.o., ul. Nowy Świat 36, 80-299 Gdańsk, represented by the President of the Management Board.

    The Controller has appointed a Data Protection Coordinator – Mr. Edward DYBOWSKI – who can be contacted at: [email protected] and/or [email protected].

    Matters related to personal data protection can also be addressed by traditional mail to: RIVERDI Sp. z o.o., ul. Nowy Świat 36, 80-299 Gdańsk.

  5. ON WHAT LEGAL BASIS AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO WE PROCESS YOUR DATA?

    Any processing of your data must be based on a proper legal basis consistent with applicable regulations. Such a basis may be your consent to data processing or other legal provisions allowing it, contained in the Act of 10 May 2018 on the protection of personal data and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the “GDPR”).

    Your data may be processed by us for several different purposes, for example:

    • If you are our Client or a person interested in using our services or products (also offered in the online store), your personal data will be processed under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. By expressing the intention to conclude a contract, you know what personal data will be needed to sign it, and after signing you know what data you have provided or will provide later.
    • If you are interested in employment with us, the data contained in your application or CV are processed in paper or electronic form. The legal basis here is the fulfilment of legal obligations incumbent on the Controller arising from Article 22¹ § 1 and § 3 of the Labour Code of 26 June 1974, and takes place pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, and for taking steps at your request prior to entering into an employment contract – pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your personal data other than those indicated in Article 22¹ § 1 and § 3 of the Labour Code may be processed under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR on the basis of consent you may withdraw at any time. In such a case, your candidacy will not be considered and we will promptly delete all data you have provided. Upon employment, further rules for processing your data and the mandatory scope of data provision and further processing are specified by labour law provisions.
    • If you submit a complaint or claims related to a contract – data are processed under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
    • If you use our contact form – your data are processed based on your consent – Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
    • If you use our online store and create a user account – your data are processed under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
    • If you use our website and its subpages where cookies are used, including Google Analytics cookies and the Facebook Pixel – this is our legitimate interest, and data are processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
    • If you use and/or interact with our social media profiles on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub – data are processed under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR to provide services per the terms, and under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
    • We process your data to ensure the security of persons and facilities or the security of networks and information. This is our legitimate interest, and we process data under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. For this purpose, video monitoring is used – you are informed of this by appropriate information boards and pictograms.
    • We process your data in connection with creating registers required by separate legal provisions – on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the Controller).
    • To improve the quality of our services, we may process statistical data on the use of the website, including information about the session, IP address, time spent on particular pages and subpages, use of specific functionalities, device and browser information. This data is processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the Controller’s legitimate interest consisting in facilitating use of the Website and improving quality and functionality, and such processing does not infringe users’ rights and freedoms. Users may withdraw consent at any time by changing browser settings regarding cookies or similar technologies. This data is processed as part of ongoing activities, but no longer than 60 days from receipt. After that time, only aggregate statistical data stripped of any information about individual users may be processed. The availability period in third-party tools may be longer and remains outside the Controller’s decision-making. The Controller will not use them for longer but may have potential access until deleted by the tool provider.
    • Posting marketing information about our products or services on our website. The display of such content is carried out by the Controller under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

 

  1. WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH?

    In accordance with applicable law, we may share your data with entities processing it on our behalf, e.g., hosting companies where we maintain this website or subcontractors of our services. We are also obliged to disclose it at the request of entities authorised under other legal provisions, e.g., the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), the Tax Office (US), and courts or law enforcement authorities. In some cases, disclosure will occur only if they submit a request indicating the legal basis permitting such a demand.

    As a rule, the Controller does not intend to transfer data to third countries outside the European Economic Area. However, due to the use on our websites and social media of services provided by Google and Facebook, User Data may be transferred outside the European Union to third countries. If this occurs, data will be transferred solely on the basis of standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) GDPR.

    Detailed information is available in each provider’s privacy policy on their websites.

    For example:

    Google LLC: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=pl

    Facebook Ireland Ltd.: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

    Currently, services offered by Google and Facebook are mainly provided by entities located within the European Union. However, you should always review these providers’ privacy policies to obtain up-to-date information on personal data protection.

    Within the European Union, in all Member States, thanks to the GDPR, whose text is available at:

    http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2016:119:TOC

    you are guaranteed an identical level of protection for your data.

  2. HOW LONG WILL WE PROCESS YOUR DATA?

    We attach great importance to limiting the scope of data we collect and the time we process it to the necessary minimum. To this end, we carry out regular reviews of paper and electronic documents we hold, removing those that are unnecessary or past their useful period. Remember that the data retention period—depending on the legal basis on which we obtained it—may be determined by separate legal regulations independent of us, which may impose an obligation to store your data regardless of your will or preference. Examples include labour law, social security law, or accounting regulations.

    If the data we hold were to be used for a purpose other than that for which they were obtained, we will always inform you and you will be able to object.

  3. WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE REGARDING YOUR DATA?

    If we process your personal data, you always have the right to:

    • request access to the data – within the limits of Article 15 GDPR,
    • request rectification – within the limits of Article 16 GDPR,
    • request erasure – within the limits of Article 17 GDPR,
    • request restriction of processing – within the limits of Article 18 GDPR,
    • object to processing – within the limits of Article 21 GDPR,
    • data portability, including obtaining a copy – within the limits of Article 20 GDPR.

    All these rights are discussed in detail in Articles 15 to 21 GDPR, the text of which is available at the address indicated above.

    You may also withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data; in such a case we will promptly delete your personal data, unless there is a legal obligation requiring further processing. For example, if you request deletion of your account providing access to the electronic gradebook of your child’s grades, we will promptly remove such data from the database. However, if your child attended or graduated from our school, we will continue to hold data related to their education in our documentation for the period specified by the Act of 14 July 1983 on the National Archival Resource and Archives.

    If you believe that in any way—which we certainly do not intend—we have violated your rights or failed to ensure the security of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, ul. Stanisława Moniuszki 1A, 00-014 Warsaw.

  4. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING AND PROFILING

    We do not make any decisions based solely on automated processing of your data, i.e., without human involvement. We also do not undertake any actions aimed at profiling you.

  5. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?

    To ensure the security of your data, we use organisational and technical measures required by law. At our premises we have installed the necessary physical safeguards to prevent unauthorised access to data. Our employees hold the required authorisations and may process data in a limited manner, i.e., only to the extent necessary for the proper performance of their duties.

    The security of your data transmitted electronically is ensured by the 128-bit SSL security protocol we apply. Its graphic symbol is the green padlock displayed in the web browser next to our site’s address.
