  • to take steps at your request to conclude a contract (to present a proposal and conduct negotiations when you contact the Controller, e.g. via a contact form) or to perform the contract;
  • within the framework of the legitimate interests of the Controller and third parties (consisting, among other things, of maintaining day-to-day contact with those appointed to contact the Controller), except where these interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data.

4. The recipients of your personal data may be the Controller’s employees and associates, companies providing services to the Controller which require access to personal data (including IT support or accounting activities) and the Controller’s clients and business partners.

5. Personal data shall be processed until you revoke your consent, if this is the basis for processing your personal data. In other cases, personal data shall be processed (including archived) by the Controller for the period resulting from the provisions of the law or within the framework of the Controller’s legitimate interests for the period necessary to establish, assert or defend against claims until they become time-barred.

6. The Controller does not intend to transfer personal data to a third country or an international organisation. However, should this situation arise in exceptional cases, this shall always be done in accordance with the principles and mechanisms set out in Articles 44 to 49 of the GDPR, in which case you shall have the right to request information about the safeguards in place.

7. Within the limits and under the principles of Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data;
  • request rectification or supplementation of personal data;
  • request erasure or restriction of the processing of personal data;
  • request personal data portability;
  • object to the processing of personal data, including its use for marketing purposes;
  • withdraw consent at any time, where withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent expressed before its withdrawal;

  1. Your personal data shall not be used for automated decision making, including profiling.
