In addition, the period of processing may depend on the content of the legal provisions applicable to us, e.g. in the case of the storage of financial documents or the time limits for claiming.

Do we share data with others?

In some situations, the further transfer of personal data may be necessary to enable us to properly and professionally fulfil our contractual obligations and conduct business activities.

However, if it is necessary in connection with the sale of our products and the provision of services, we will assess the circumstances and take care to ensure an adequate level of data security so that processing is carried out in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.

At the same time, we would like to inform you that in running our service we use the services and technologies offered by such entities as: Facebook, Google, MailerLite, EventBrite, which are based in the United States and European Union.

We do not take automated decisions, in particular those which could produce legal effects on natural persons or which could affect them in a similarly significant way.

However, users can block and restrict the installation of cookies at their own discretion, either by using their browser settings or by using one of the many available (free) solutions.

4. minimising the risk of potential abuse and reacting quickly if it occurs,
5. implementing data protection policy,

• the transfer of personal data;
• withdrawal of consent to data processing.

However, the above-mentioned rights are not absolute and in some situations, after analysis, we may legitimately refuse them.

We would also like to inform you that revoking your consent to data processing will not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place on the basis of your consent before its revocation.

If you request us to exercise any of the above powers, we will respond to you as soon as possible, but no later than one month after receipt. If due to the complexity of the request or the number of requests, we are unable to comply with your request within one month, we will comply with it within the next two months.
