5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

5.1 What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners. Other similar technologies, such as web beacons, clear GIFs, and local storage, may also be used for similar purposes.

5.2 Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on our Website:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website.

These third parties may use cookies, alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies, to collect information about you when you use our Website.

5.5 Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Due to the lack of a common interpretation of Do Not Track signals across the industry, we currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals on our Website.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include:

  • Encryption of sensitive data both in transit and at rest
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Employee training on data protection and security practices
  • Monitoring for suspicious activities and unauthorized access attempts

While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately using the information provided in the Contact Us section.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

  • The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide Services to you
  • Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject
  • Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as for statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations)

When we no longer need to use your personal information, we will either delete it from our systems or anonymize it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

8. Your Rights and Choices

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section, and we will take steps to delete such information.

10. International Data Transfers

We are based in Poland, and your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) where we or our service providers maintain operations. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

When we transfer personal information outside the EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection, such as:

  • Transferring to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission
  • Using specific contracts approved by the European Commission (Standard Contractual Clauses) that give personal data the same protection it has in Europe
  • Transferring to organizations that are part of approved certification mechanisms, such as the EU-US Privacy Shield (where applicable)

For more information about these safeguards or to obtain a copy of them, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in response to changing legal, technical, or business developments.
