They can be read by our system, as well as by systems belonging to other business units whose services we use (such as Facebook, Google etc.).
2. Cookies perform a lot of functions on the website; most of them are useful and we will try to describe them below (if the information is insufficient, please contact us):
   • ensuring security - cookies are used to authenticate users and prevent unauthorized use of the client's panel. They are therefore used to protect the user's personal data against unauthorized access;
   • impact on the processes and efficiency of using the website - cookies are used to ensure that the website works efficiently and that you can use the features available on it, which is done, among other things, by remembering the settings of your subsequent visits on the website. In the result, you can efficiently navigate the website and individual subpages;
   • state of the session - cookies often record information about how visitors use the website, for example which subpages are displayed most often. They also allow to identify errors displayed on some subpages. Cookies used to record the so-called "session state" help to improve the quality of the services and increase the comfort of browsing;
   • maintaining session status - if a client logs in to his panel, the cookies sustain the session. This means that after switching to another subpage, you do not have to re-enter your login and password; this contributes to the comfort of using the website;

In the result, we can constantly improve the website and adapt its operation to the preferences of the users.

IV. The right to withdraw consent

1. If the processing of personal data is subject to your consent, you can withdraw it at any time - at your sole discretion.
2. If you would like to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data, you can easily do it by:
   • sending an email directly to the Company at the address odo@myvinci.edu.pl or
   • completing the contact form on the deletion or change of personal data. The form is on the contact or GDPR subpages.
3. If the processing of your personal data was based on your consent, its withdrawal does not mean that the processing of personal data up to that point was illegal. In other words, we have the right to process your personal data until the withdrawal of your consent, and the withdrawal of such consent does not affect the legality of the current processing.

V. The requirement to provide personal data

1. Providing any personal data is voluntary and depends on your decision. However, in some cases, providing certain personal data is necessary to meet your expectations regarding the use of the contact form and the recruitment form on our website.
2. To answer your questions asked via the contact form or by phone, we need you to provide your email address and / or telephone number or else we will not be able to send you information or an answer your questions.
3. In order to send you an invoice for our services, we need you to provide all data required by the tax law such as your name or the company name, address or registered address of the company, and the tax identification number. Without this, we will not be able to properly issue invoices.
4. In order send you our quotation we need you to provide your e-mail address or telephone number - without this we will not be able to send you a quotation which you requested.

VI. Automated decision making and profiling

We kindly inform you that we do not make automated decision-making, including any decisions based on profiling.

VII. Recipients of personal data

1. Like most business people, we use the help of other entities in our operations, which often involves the need to provide personal data to them. Therefore, if necessary, we may provide your personal data to the following recipients: lawyers who provide services to us, quick payment companies, our accounting company and hosting company, a company responsible for sending text messages, and an insurance company ( if it is necessary to repair any damages).
2. In addition to this, we may for instance be obliged to transfer your personal data to other entities, whether public or private, if we are bound to do so by provisions of law or decisions of the competent authority. That is why it is extremely difficult for us to predict who may apply for the disclosure of personal data. Nevertheless, we assure you that every request to disclose your personal data is analyzed very carefully and thoroughly, to avoid passing any information inadvertently to unauthorized persons.

VIII. Transfer of personal data to third countries

1. Like most business people, we use various popular services and technologies offered by such entities as Facebook, Microsoft or Google. These companies are based outside the European Union and are therefore treated as third countries in the light of the provisions of the GDPR.
2. The GDPR imposes certain restrictions on the transfer of personal data to third countries, because the European rules do not apply there, and therefore the protection of personal data of European Union citizens may unfortunately be insufficient. Therefore, each controller of the personal data is required to establish the legal basis for such transfer.
3. For our part, we assure you that when using services and technologies, we only transfer personal data to entities from the United States and only to those which joined the Privacy Shield program based on the European Commission's decision of July 12, 2016. More information on this subject is available on the European Commission website https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/eu-us-privacy-shield_pl. Entities that have joined the Privacy Shield guarantee that they will comply with the high standards of personal data protection that are in force in the European Union and therefore it is legal to use their services and technologies in the course of personal data processing.
4. We will provide you with additional explanations regarding the transfer of personal data at any time, in particular when this issue raises your concern.
5. You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data transferred to a third country at any time.

IX. Personal data processing period

1. In accordance with the applicable law, we do not process your personal information "infinitely", but only for the time that is needed to achieve the goal. After that period your personal data will be irretrievably deleted or destroyed.
2. Regarding individual periods of personal data processing, we kindly inform you that we process personal data for the period of:
   • the duration of the contract - in relation to personal data processed in order to conclude and perform a contract;
   • 3 years or 10 years + 1 year - in relation to personal data processed in order to establish, assert or defend claims (the length of the period depends on whether both parties are business persons or not);
   • 6 months - in relation to personal data that were collected when valuing the service, if the contract was not concluded immediately;
   • 6 years - in relation to personal data related to the fulfillment of obligations under tax law;
   • no longer than until the end date of the recruitment for a given position – in the process of recruitment; also for a period not longer than 12 months if you agreed to participate in future recruitment processes;
   • until the consent is withdrawn or the purpose of processing is achieved but no longer than\ 5 years - in relation to personal data processed on the basis of consent;
   • until an effective objection is filed or the the purpose of the processing is achieved, but no longer than 5 years - in relation to personal data processed on the basis of the legitimate interests of the Personal Data Controller or for marketing purposes;
   • until the time of obsolescence or loss of usefulness, but no longer than for 3 years - in relation to personal data processed mainly for analytical purposes, the use of cookies and the administration of the website.
3. In order to facilitate the process of removing or destroying personal data, the years are counted from the end of the year in which we started to process personal data. Separate timing for each event would entail significant organizational and technical difficulties, as well as significant financial outlay; for this reason we set a single date for removing or destroying personal data. This allows us to manage the whole process more efficiently. Of course, if you use the right to be forgotten, we will consider your case individually.
4. The additional year for the processing of personal data collected for the performance of a contract is to account for instances when someone may assert a claim a moment before the claim limitation date, a request is delivered with a significant delay or someone incorrectly calculates the limitation date for a claim.

X. Rights of data subjects

   • the access to your personal data;
   • correct your personal data;
   • request deletion of your personal data;
   • restrict the processing of your personal data;
   • refuse the processing of your personal data;
   • transfer your personal data.
2. We respect your rights under the provisions of the act on the protection of personal data and we strive to facilitate their implementation to the highest extent possible.
3. Please note that these rights are not absolute, and therefore we may legally refuse to comply with your requests in some cases. However, even if we refuse your request, we always do it after careful consideration and only when such refusal is necessary.
4. Regarding your right to object, we explain that you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller (they are listed in point III) due to your particular situation.
