1.GENERAL PROVISIONS
This privacy policy of the Online Store is for informational purposes, which means that it is not a source of obligations for Service Recipients or Customers of the Online Store. The privacy policy contains primarily the rules regarding the processing of personal data by the Controller in the Online Store, including the legal bases, purposes and period of personal data processing, as well as the rights of persons whose data are concerned, and information regarding the use of Cookies and analytical tools in the Online Store.
The controller of personal data collected via the Online Store is KALANTO SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ with its registered office in Tarnowskie Góry (registered office and address for service: ul. Ks. Prałata Edwarda Płonki 8, 42-609 Tarnowskie Góry), entered in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register under KRS number 0001167701; the registration court where the company documentation is kept: District Court in Gliwice, 10th Commercial Division of the National Court Register; NIP 6452593013, REGON 541470362; share capital in the amount of: PLN 5,000.00; e-mail address: kontakt@kalanto.pl, phone number: +48 573 830 180 — hereinafter referred to as the “Controller” and being at the same time the Service Provider of the Online Store and the Seller.
Personal data in the Online Store are processed by the Controller in accordance with applicable law, in particular in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) — hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR” or the “GDPR Regulation”. Official text of the GDPR Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679
Use of the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary. Similarly, the provision of personal data by the Service Recipient or Customer using the Online Store is voluntary, subject to two exceptions: (1) concluding contracts with the Controller — failure to provide personal data necessary to conclude and perform a Sales Contract or a contract for the provision of an Electronic Service with the Controller in the cases and to the extent indicated on the Online Store website and in the Online Store Terms and Conditions and this privacy policy results in the inability to conclude such a contract. Providing personal data in such a case is a contractual requirement and if the data subject wishes to conclude a given contract with the Controller, they are obliged to provide the required data. Each time, the scope of data required to conclude a contract is indicated in advance on the Online Store website and in the Online Store Terms and Conditions; (2) statutory obligations of the Controller — providing personal data is a statutory requirement resulting from generally applicable laws imposing on the Controller the obligation to process personal data (e.g. processing data for the purpose of keeping accounting records) and failure to provide them will prevent the Controller from fulfilling these obligations.
The Controller exercises special care to protect the interests of persons whose personal data are processed by it, and in particular is responsible for and ensures that the data collected by it are: (1) processed lawfully; (2) collected for specified, lawful purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; (3) substantively 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 of processing; and (5) processed in a manner ensuring 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.
Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of violation of the rights or freedoms of natural persons with varying likelihood and severity, the Controller 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 where necessary. The Controller uses technical measures to prevent unauthorized persons from obtaining and modifying personal data transmitted electronically.
All words, expressions and acronyms appearing in this privacy policy and beginning with a capital letter (e.g. Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) should be understood in accordance with their definitions contained in the Online Store Terms and Conditions available on the Online Store website.
2.LEGAL BASES FOR DATA PROCESSING
The Controller is entitled to process personal data in cases where — and to the extent that — at least one of the following conditions is met: (1) the data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes; (2) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract; (3) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Controller is subject; or (4) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.
Processing of personal data by the Controller each time requires the occurrence of at least one of the legal bases indicated in point 2.1 of the privacy policy. The specific legal bases for processing the personal data of Service Recipients and Customers of the Online Store by the Controller are indicated in the next point of the privacy policy — in relation to the given purpose of processing personal data by the Controller.

Okres przedawnienia określają przepisy prawa, w szczególności Kodeksu Cywilnego (podstawowy termin przedawnienia dla roszczeń związanych z prowadzeniem działalności gospodarczej wynosi trzy lata, a dla Umowy Sprzedaży dwa lata).
4. DATA RECIPIENTS IN THE ONLINE STORE
For the proper functioning of the Online Store, including the performance of concluded Sales Contracts, it is necessary for the Controller to use the services of external entities (such as, for example, a software provider, courier or payment service provider). The Controller uses only such processors who provide sufficient guarantees of implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures so that processing meets the requirements of the GDPR Regulation and protects the rights of data subjects.
Personal data may be transferred by the Controller to a third country, whereby the Controller ensures that in such a case the transfer will take place to a country ensuring an adequate level of protection — in accordance with the GDPR Regulation, and in the case of other countries, that the transfer will take place on the basis of standard data protection clauses. The Controller ensures that the data subject has the possibility to obtain a copy of their data. The Controller transfers collected personal data only in cases and to the extent necessary to achieve a given purpose of data processing consistent with this privacy policy.
Transfer of data by the Controller does not take place in every case and not to all recipients or categories of recipients indicated in the privacy policy — the Controller transfers data only when it is necessary to achieve a given purpose of personal data processing and only to the extent necessary to achieve it. For example, if the Customer uses personal collection, their data will not be transferred to a carrier cooperating with the Controller.
Personal data of Service Recipients and Customers of the Online Store may be transferred to the following recipients or categories of recipients:
carriers / forwarders / courier brokers / entities handling warehousing and/or the shipping process — in the case of a Customer who uses delivery of a Product by postal shipment or courier shipment in the Online Store, the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected carrier, forwarder or intermediary carrying out shipments on behalf of the Controller, and if the shipment is made from an external warehouse — to the entity handling the warehouse and/or shipping process — to the extent necessary to deliver the Product to the Customer.
entities handling electronic payments or payment card payments — in the case of a Customer who uses electronic payment or payment card payment methods in the Online Store, the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected entity handling the above payments in the Online Store on behalf of the Controller to the extent necessary to handle the payment made by the Customer.
credit institutions / leasing providers — in the case of a Customer who uses installment payment or leasing payment methods in the Online Store, the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected lender or leasing provider handling the above payments in the Online Store on behalf of the Controller to the extent necessary to handle the payment made by the Customer.
providers of opinion survey systems — in the case of a Customer who has agreed to provide an opinion about the concluded Sales Contract, the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected entity providing a system for surveying opinions about concluded Sales Contracts in the Online Store on behalf of the Controller to the extent necessary for the Customer to provide an opinion using the survey system.
providers of services supplying the Controller with technical, IT and organizational solutions enabling the Controller to conduct business activity, including the Online Store and Electronic Services provided through it (in particular providers of computer software for operating the Online Store, e-mail and hosting providers, and providers of software for company management and providing technical support to the Controller) — the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected provider acting on its behalf only in cases and to the extent necessary to achieve a given purpose of data processing consistent with this privacy policy.
providers of accounting, legal and advisory services providing the Controller with accounting, legal or advisory support (in particular an accounting office, law firm or debt collection company) — the Controller makes the collected personal data of the Customer available to the selected provider acting on its behalf only in cases and to the extent necessary to achieve a given purpose of data processing consistent with this privacy policy.
providers of social plugins, scripts and other similar tools placed on the Online Store website enabling the browser of a person visiting the Online Store website to download content from the providers of those plugins (e.g., logging in using social network login data) and to transfer personal data of the visitor to those providers for this purpose, including also:
Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. — the Controller may use social plugins of Facebook and Instagram on the Online Store website (e.g., Like, Share buttons or logging in using Facebook login data) and in connection with this collects and makes available personal data of the Service Recipient using the Online Store website to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland) to the extent and in accordance with the privacy rules available here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
(these data include information about activities on the Online Store website — including information about the device, visited websites, purchases, displayed advertisements and how services are used — regardless of whether the Service Recipient has a Facebook or Instagram account and whether they are logged in).
Google Ireland Ltd. — the Controller may use Google plugins on the Online Store website (e.g., logging in using Google login data) and in connection with this collects and makes available personal data of the Service Recipient using the Online Store website to Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to the extent and in accordance with the privacy rules available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=pl
(these data include information about activities on the Online Store website — including information about the device, visited websites, purchases, displayed advertisements and how services are used).
5. PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE
The GDPR Regulation imposes on the Controller the obligation to inform about automated decision-making, including profiling referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR Regulation, and — at least in those cases — relevant information about the principles of such decision-making, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Controller provides in this point of the privacy policy information regarding possible profiling.
The Controller may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made on its basis by the Controller do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Contract or the possibility of using Electronic Services in the Online Store. The effect of using profiling in the Online Store may be, for example, granting a given person a discount, sending them a discount code, reminding them about unfinished purchases, sending a Product proposal that may correspond to that person’s interests or preferences, or proposing better conditions compared to the standard offer of the Online Store. Despite profiling, the person freely decides whether they want to use the discount or better conditions received in this way and make a purchase in the Online Store.
Profiling in the Online Store consists in automatic analysis or prediction of a given person’s behavior on the Online Store website, for example by adding a specific Product to the cart, browsing a specific Product page in the Online Store, or by analyzing the previous purchase history in the Online Store. The condition for such profiling is that the Controller has that person’s personal data in order to be able to send them, for example, a discount code.
The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, and which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.
6. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT
Right of access, rectification, restriction, erasure or portability – the data subject has the right to request from the Controller access to their personal data, their rectification, erasure (“the 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 above rights are set out in Articles 15–21 of the GDPR Regulation.
Right to withdraw consent at any time – a person whose data are processed by the Controller on the basis of given consent (under 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.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – a person whose data are processed by the Controller 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. The supervisory authority in Poland is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
Right to object – the data subject has the right to object at any time — on grounds relating to their particular situation — to the processing of personal data concerning them based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest or official authority) or (f) (legitimate interest of the controller), including profiling based on those provisions. In such a case, the Controller may no longer process those personal data unless the Controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing overriding the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or grounds for the establishment, pursuit or defense of claims.
Right to object regarding direct marketing – if personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, including profiling, to the extent that the processing is related to such direct marketing.
In order to exercise the rights referred to in this point of the privacy policy, the Controller may be contacted by sending an appropriate message in writing or by e-mail to the Controller’s address indicated at the beginning of the privacy policy or by using the contact form available on the Online Store website.
