1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. This Privacy Policy of the Online Store is for informational purposes, which means it does not create obligations for Service Users or Customers of the Online Store. The Privacy Policy primarily contains rules regarding the processing of personal data by the Administrator in the Online Store, including the basis, purposes, and period of personal data processing, as well as the rights of data subjects, and information regarding the use of Cookies and analytical tools in the Online Store.
2. The Administrator of personal data collected via the Online Store is Artur Pietrzak, conducting business under the name AVOICE ARTUR PIETRZAK, entered into the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity of the Republic of Poland, maintained by the minister responsible for economy, with the business address and correspondence address: ul.

Official text of the GDPR Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679
4. Use of the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary. Similarly, the provision of personal data by the Service User or Customer using the Online Store is voluntary, subject to two exceptions: (1) concluding contracts with the Administrator – failure to provide personal data necessary for the conclusion and performance of a Sales Agreement or an Electronic Service Agreement with the Administrator, in the cases and scope indicated on the Online Store website, in the Online Store Regulations, and in this privacy policy, will result in the impossibility of concluding such an agreement. In such a case, the provision of personal data is a contractual requirement, and if the data subject wishes to conclude a given agreement with the Administrator, they are obliged to provide the required data. The scope of data required for concluding an agreement is always indicated beforehand on the Online Store website and in the Online Store Regulations; (2) legal obligations of the Administrator – the provision of personal data is a statutory requirement resulting from generally applicable legal provisions imposing an obligation on the Administrator to process personal data (e.g., processing data for maintaining tax or accounting books), and failure to provide them will prevent the Administrator from fulfilling these obligations.
5. The Administrator exercises particular care to protect the interests of data subjects whose personal data are processed by them, and in particular is responsible for and ensures that the data collected by them are: (1) processed lawfully; (2) collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; (3) factually correct and adequate in relation to the purposes for which they are processed; (4) stored in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; and (5) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
6. Considering the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Administrator implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing is carried out in accordance with the GDPR Regulation and to be able to demonstrate this. These measures are reviewed and updated as necessary. The Administrator uses technical measures to prevent unauthorized acquisition and modification of personal data transmitted electronically.
All words, phrases, and acronyms appearing in this privacy policy and starting with a capital letter (e.g., Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) should be understood in accordance with their definition contained in the Online Store Regulations available on the Online Store's websites.

4. DATA RECIPIENTS IN THE ONLINE STORE

2.

The Administrator ensures that the data subject has the opportunity to obtain a copy of their data. The Administrator transfers collected personal data only if and to the extent necessary to achieve a given data processing purpose consistent with this privacy policy.
3.

5. PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE
1. The GDPR Regulation imposes on the Administrator an obligation to provide information on automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR Regulation, and – at least in these cases – significant information on the rules for their adoption, as well as on the significance and foreseeable consequences of such processing for the data subject. Bearing this in mind, the Administrator provides in this section of the privacy policy information regarding possible profiling.
2. The Administrator may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made by the Administrator on this basis do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Agreement or the possibility of using Electronic Services in the Online Store. The result of using profiling in the Online Store may be, for example, granting a specific person a discount, sending them a discount code, reminding them about uncompleted purchases, sending a Product proposal that may match the interests or preferences of that person, or offering better conditions compared to the standard offer of the Online Store. Despite profiling, the individual freely decides whether they want to use the discount or better conditions received in this way and make a purchase in the Online Store.
3. Profiling in the Online Store involves automatic analysis or prediction of an individual's behavior on the Online Store's website, for example, by adding a specific Product to the cart, browsing the page of a specific Product in the Online Store, or by analyzing the history of purchases made in the Online Store. A condition for such profiling is that the Administrator has the personal data of the individual in order to then send them, for example, a discount code.
4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
6. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

Right to access, rectification, restriction, erasure or portability – the data subject has the right to request from the Administrator access to their personal data, their rectification, erasure (“right to be forgotten”) or restriction of processing, and has the right to object to processing, as well as the right to data portability. Detailed conditions for exercising the aforementioned rights are specified in Articles 15-21 of the GDPR Regulation.
2. Right to withdraw consent at any time – the data subject, whose data is processed by the Administrator based on expressed consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR Regulation), has the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
3. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – the data subject, whose data is processed by the Administrator, has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the manner and procedure specified in the provisions of the GDPR Regulation and Polish law, in particular the Personal Data Protection Act.

4. Right to object – the data subject has the right to object at any time – on grounds relating to his or her particular situation – to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest or official authority) or (f) (legitimate interests of the controller), including profiling based on those provisions. In such a case, the Administrator shall no longer process the personal data unless the Administrator demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. Right to object to direct marketing – where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
