  1. How do we have your per­so­nal information?
  • We most often rece­ive your data indi­rec­tly from public­ly ava­ila­ble sour­ces, such as the websi­tes you main­ta­in or the websi­tes of media outlets (e.g., new­spa­per edi­to­rial offi­ces, tele­vi­sion sta­tions) for which you work;
  • Sometimes we rece­ive your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion, or part of it, direc­tly from you when you send us a mes­sa­ge via ema­il, thro­ugh a con­tact form, or when you spe­ak with a FACE IT Staff Member.
  1. What is the sco­pe of the data being processed?

Your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion that FACE IT may pro­cess is as follows:

  • Your Name;
  • ema­il address;
  • con­tact pho­ne number;
  • resi­den­tial or mailing address;
  • The com­pa­ny whe­re you work (inc­lu­ding the com­pa­ny of your busi­ness, if you have one);
  • name, address of your busi­ness acti­vi­ty, NIP and REGON num­bers, bank name and bank acco­unt number;
  • posi­tion held;
  • occu­pa­tion pursued;
  • addi­tio­nal infor­ma­tion abo­ut your­self that you may inc­lu­de in your ema­il cor­re­spon­den­ce or that you may pro­vi­de during a tele­pho­ne conver­sa­tion with FACE IT Personnel (but we do not record the­se conversations);
  • the con­sents you have given (if, for exam­ple, you have given FACE IT con­sent to pro­cess your data for mar­ke­ting purposes).
  1. For what pur­po­se and on what basis do we pro­cess your per­so­nal data?

We pro­cess your per­so­nal data in rela­tion to the acti­vi­ties per­for­med by FACE IT, i.e. pro­vi­sion of public rela­tions servi­ces (e.g. media rela­tions), con­duc­ting com­mu­ni­ca­tion in social networks and per­for­man­ce of pro­mo­tio­nal acti­vi­ties (e.g. sen­ding press rele­ases, addres­sing invi­ta­tions to jour­na­list meetings, sen­ding pro­duct sam­ples) (here­ina­fter: „servi­ces”) offe­red to our clients, i.e. enti­ties, the acti­vi­ties of which – due to your pro­fes­sion or busi­ness – you may be inte­re­sted in.

Consequently, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data in order to:

  • noti­fy you (e.g. by ema­il, text mes­sa­ge or tele­pho­ne) of an event/event/product con­cer­ning one of our Customers – pro­ces­sing under 6(1)(a) (your con­sent) or (f) (the Administrator’s legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest) of the DPA;
  • to enter into and per­form a con­tract with you if we enter into a part­ner­ship in the cour­se of our and your busi­ness and you also deci­de to beco­me our Contractor. In this case, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data on the basis of 6(1)(b) RODO (to conc­lu­de and per­form the contract);
  • to keep acco­un­ting books and tax set­tle­ments in accor­dan­ce with 6(1)© of the DPA (in order to ful­fil a legal obli­ga­tion of the Administrator);
  • Your per­so­nal data is also pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­ses of debt col­lec­tion, liti­ga­tion, arbi­tra­tion and media­tion, archi­ving and the possi­bi­li­ty of us acco­un­ting for the cor­rect­ness of the pro­ces­sing of your data, which con­sti­tu­tes a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest of the con­trol­ler under 6(1)(f) RODO.
  1. How long do we pro­cess your per­so­nal information?

The period for which we pro­cess your per­so­nal data depends on the pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing. Thus, respectively:

  • noti­fy­ing you of an event rela­ting to our clients which, for pro­fes­sio­nal reasons, you may be inte­re­sted in – for this pur­po­se we will pro­cess your data until such time as you object to such pro­ces­sing or with­draw your con­sent to such communication
  • conc­lu­ding and per­for­ming the con­tract conc­lu­ded with you, if you deci­de to beco­me our Contractor – for this pur­po­se we pro­cess your data for the time of its per­for­man­ce;
  • as far as acco­un­ting pur­po­ses are con­cer­ned, we will pro­cess your data for a period of 5 years, coun­ting from the begin­ning of the year fol­lo­wing the finan­cial year to which the acco­un­ting docu­ments in question rela­te (Article 74(2) and (3) of the Accounting Act of 29.09.1994 (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 395, as amen­ded). However, as far as tax pur­po­ses are con­cer­ned, the data will be pro­ces­sed for a period of 5 years, coun­ting from the end of the calen­dar year in which the deadli­ne for pay­ment of a given tax expi­red (Article 70 § 1 of the Tax Ordinance Act of 29.08.1997 (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 201 as amended);
  • debt col­lec­tion – con­duc­ting court, arbi­tra­tion and media­tion pro­ce­edings, archi­ving, ensu­ring the possi­bi­li­ty of acco­un­ting for the cor­rect­ness of data pro­ces­sing and ful­fil­ling other obli­ga­tions ari­sing from the law – for the­se pur­po­ses we pro­cess per­so­nal data until the end of the sta­tu­te of limi­ta­tions (this period will depend on the type of cla­im in accor­dan­ce with the Civil Code or other legal acts gover­ning lia­bi­li­ty other than civil liability).
  1. Who is the reci­pient of your per­so­nal information?

We only sha­re your data when it is neces­sa­ry to do so. We do not sell your data. However, we may pass on your per­so­nal data to our Customers (whe­re­by the pur­po­ses for which they pro­cess your data will not chan­ge) and/or Contractors, i.e. entities/companies that pro­vi­de FACE IT with servi­ces neces­sa­ry for the pro­per func­tio­ning, e.g:

  • com­pa­nies that are invo­lved in orga­ni­zing vario­us types of events;
  • com­pa­nies that pro­vi­de servi­ces for the sup­ply and main­te­nan­ce of data­ba­se and other softwa­re by means of which FACE IT can, for exam­ple, main­ta­in appro­pria­te records and e‑mail communications;
  • enti­ties pro­vi­ding hosting services;
  • con­sul­ting and law firms, as well as acco­un­ting and IT servi­ce pro­vi­ders who sup­port us in our daily operations;
  • enti­ties with whom we work to pro­vi­de servi­ces to our customers.

For enti­ties in each cate­go­ry, FACE IT trans­fers only the data that are neces­sa­ry to achie­ve the objec­ti­ves of the coope­ra­tion defi­ned with it.

  1. Do we pro­cess your per­so­nal data auto­ma­ti­cal­ly (inc­lu­ding thro­ugh pro­fi­ling) in a way that affects your rights?

We do not use pro­fi­ling, nor do we pro­cess your data by auto­ma­ted means.

  1. How do we pro­cess per­so­nal information?

We pro­cess per­so­nal data in accor­dan­ce with appli­ca­ble law, in par­ti­cu­lar in accor­dan­ce with the RODO. We are mind­ful of the fol­lo­wing rules that guide us in pro­ces­sing your per­so­nal data:

  • Adequacy Rule. We pro­cess only tho­se data that are neces­sa­ry to achie­ve the given pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing; for each pro­cess, we have car­ried out an ana­ly­sis to meet this rule;
  • Transparency Rule. You sho­uld have full know­led­ge of what hap­pens to your data. This docu­ment, in which we try to give you full infor­ma­tion abo­ut the rules of our pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, is a mani­fe­sta­tion of it;
  • Rule of Correctness. We stri­ve to keep your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion in our sys­tems cur­rent and truthful;
  • Integrity and Confidentiality Rule. We take the neces­sa­ry measu­res to safe­gu­ard the con­fi­den­tia­li­ty and inte­gri­ty of your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion. We are con­ti­nu­al­ly impro­ving the­se as the envi­ron­ment chan­ges and tech­no­lo­gy advan­ces. Safeguards inc­lu­de phy­si­cal and tech­no­lo­gi­cal measu­res to limit access to your infor­ma­tion, as well as appro­pria­te measu­res to pre­vent loss of your information;
  • Accountability Rule. We want to be able to acco­unt for eve­ry action we take on your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion, so that if you ask us, we can give you full and fair infor­ma­tion abo­ut what we did with your information.
  1. What rights do you have?

Data pro­tec­tion laws give you a num­ber of rights that you can exer­ci­se at any time. Provided you do not abu­se the­se rights (e.g. unre­aso­na­ble daily requ­ests for infor­ma­tion), the exer­ci­se of the­se rights is free of char­ge to you and sho­uld be easy to exercise.

Your rights include:

  • The right to access the con­tent of your per­so­nal infor­ma­tion. This right means that you can requ­est that we export the infor­ma­tion we have abo­ut you from our data­ba­ses and send it to you in one of the com­mon­ly used for­mats (e.g. XLSX, DOCX, etc.);
  • Right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion. If you beco­me awa­re that the data we pro­cess is incor­rect, you have the right to ask us to cor­rect it and we will be obli­ged to do so. In this case, we have the right to ask you to pro­vi­de some docu­ment or other evi­den­ce to pro­ve that the data has been changed;
  • Right to restrict pro­ces­sing. If, despi­te our com­plian­ce with the ade­qu­acy prin­ci­ple, you belie­ve that we are pro­ces­sing too much of your per­so­nal data for a par­ti­cu­lar pro­cess, you have the right to requ­est that we restrict this pro­ces­sing. Insofar as your requ­est does not con­tra­dict requ­ire­ments impo­sed on us by appli­ca­ble law we will com­ply with your request;
  • Right to requ­est dele­tion of data. This right, also known as the right to be for­got­ten, means your right to requ­est that we dele­te from our data­ba­se sys­tems and records any infor­ma­tion con­ta­ining your per­so­nal data. Please note that we will not be able to do so if we are obli­ged by law to pro­cess your data (e.g. trans­ac­tion docu­ments for tax pur­po­ses, obli­ga­tion to ensu­re acco­un­ta­bi­li­ty of our actions). In any case, howe­ver, we will dele­te your per­so­nal data to the ful­lest extent possi­ble and, whe­re this is not possi­ble, we will ensu­re that your data is pseu­do­ny­mi­zed (which means that the data sub­ject can­not be iden­ti­fied witho­ut an appro­pria­te lin­king key), so that your data, which we must reta­in in accor­dan­ce with appli­ca­ble law, will only be acces­si­ble to a very limi­ted circ­le of people;
  • Right to trans­fer your data to ano­ther data con­trol­ler. Under the RODO, you can ask us to export the data you have pro­vi­ded to us in the cour­se of all our con­tacts into a sepa­ra­te file for onward trans­fer to ano­ther data controller;
  • Right to with­draw con­sent. If we pro­cess your per­so­nal data on the basis of your con­sent, you may with­draw that con­sent at any time. The with­dra­wal of con­sent will not affect the law­ful­ness of pro­ces­sing that we have done on the basis of con­sent given befo­re its with­dra­wal. However, we would like to inform you that your per­so­nal data in the sco­pe cove­red by the with­drawn con­sent, i.e. in the sco­pe of the pur­po­se to which the con­sent refer­red, will cease to be pro­ces­sed for that pur­po­se. Nevertheless, your per­so­nal data cove­red by your con­sent will con­ti­nue to be pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­se of com­ply­ing with our obli­ga­tions under the law, inc­lu­ding in par­ti­cu­lar our obli­ga­tion to acco­unt for the cor­rect­ness of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, possi­bly for pur­po­ses based on our legi­ti­ma­te interests.

You may exer­ci­se the rights refer­red to abo­ve by con­tac­ting us at: daneosobowe@agencjafaceit.pl or by mail to: FACE IT sp. z o.o. ul. Bagatela 10 lok. 31, 00–585 Warsaw, with the note: „Personal data”.

In mat­ters rela­ted to per­so­nal data you can also wri­te to us, if any action or situ­ation you enco­un­ter raises your con­cerns, whe­ther it is com­pliant with the regu­la­tions or does not acci­den­tal­ly vio­la­te your rights or fre­edoms. In this case we will answer your questions and con­cerns and address the issue promptly.

If you con­si­der that we have in any way vio­la­ted the rules for pro­ces­sing your per­so­nal data then you have the right to lod­ge a com­pla­int direc­tly with the super­vi­so­ry autho­ri­ty (from 25 May 2018 this is the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection). In exer­ci­sing this right you sho­uld give a full descrip­tion of the situ­ation that has ari­sen and indi­ca­te what action you con­si­der to have vio­la­ted your rights or fre­edoms. The com­pla­int sho­uld be sub­mit­ted direc­tly to the super­vi­so­ry authority.

  1. What is the right to object?

We would like to inform you sepa­ra­te­ly that you also have the right to so-called objec­tion to the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. You have the right to object if you do not want us to pro­cess your per­so­nal data for a spe­ci­fic pur­po­se (e.g. mar­ke­ting purposes).

You also have the right to object if the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data is based on a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest or for sta­ti­sti­cal pur­po­ses, and the objec­tion is justi­fied by the par­ti­cu­lar situ­ation you are in.

In this case, we will con­ti­nue to pro­cess your data for other pro­ces­ses (for other pur­po­ses), but no lon­ger for the pur­po­se for which you objec­ted. 
You can report your right to object to the e‑mail address: daneosobowe@agencjafaceit.pl or by let­ter to: FACE IT sp. z o.o. ul. Bagatela 10 lok. 31, 00–585 Warsaw, with the note: „Personal data”.

  1. Is it your respon­si­bi­li­ty to pro­vi­de the data?

You pro­vi­de your per­so­nal data to FACE IT volun­ta­ri­ly. There is no law that impo­ses a legal obli­ga­tion on you to pro­vi­de it.

However, if you wish to enter into a con­tract with us, you must pro­vi­de data that will ena­ble us to enter into and per­form that con­tract, as well as to pro­per­ly tax and docu­ment it for FACE IT acco­un­ta­bi­li­ty purposes.

Personal data pro­vi­ded for e.g. con­tact or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses are neces­sa­ry for us to con­tact you or to con­duct mar­ke­ting acti­vi­ties to which you agree or at least do not object. If you do not pro­vi­de it, our com­mu­ni­ca­tion with you will be either impe­ded (e.g. if you pro­vi­de only your tele­pho­ne num­ber but not your e‑mail address) or impos­si­ble (if you do not pro­vi­de any con­tact data).

  1. Do we sha­re your data out­si­de the EU?

No, we will trans­fer your data to a third coun­try or to inter­na­tio­nal organizations.
