5. Proper use of the Website
The User must use the Website in accordance with accepted social norms and with respect for the copyright in the content made available. The User must not submit any unlawful content to the Controller.
If the User infringes copyright in content provided by the Controller, or publishes unlawful content, the User is liable for any resulting damage suffered by the Controller.
6. Which cookies does the Website use, and for what purposes?
Cookies are used for the following purposes:
- Marketing and advertising — for marketing, the Newsletter service or other services;
- Optimising use of the Website, including recognising the User’s Device and displaying the Website in a way that matches the User’s needs and preferences;

- Saving User preferences — adapting Website content to the User’s preferences.
7. Can the User control cookies?
The User may change cookie settings on their Device at any time, including the conditions for storing and accessing cookies. This can be done in the browser settings or in the configuration of the relevant service. Restricting or blocking cookies may affect some features of the Website.
8. Embedded content from other websites
The Controller may use third-party cookies for the following purposes:

- collecting general, anonymous statistical data through analytics tools;
- using interactive features to promote the Website or extend its capabilities through social platforms (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter / X, YouTube).
Third-party cookies are used when the Website embeds content (for example videos, images or articles) from other providers. Embedded content has the same effect as if the User visited that provider’s site directly. Those sites may collect information about the User, use cookies, add further tracking systems and monitor the User’s interaction with the embedded material, including if the User has an account and is logged in there.
The User should review the personal-data rules of the platforms whose content is embedded on the Website.
The Website also uses social plugins that operate on the principles described above. The Controller uses plugins from:
- Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (www.facebook.com, www.instagram.com, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland);

- Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (https://www.behance.net/, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Park, Dublin 24, Ireland);
- A Medium Corporation (https://medium.com/, 548 Market St., PMB 42061, San Francisco, CA 94104-5401, USA).
9. How long is User data stored?
The Controller processes personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (for example to reply to a contact-form enquiry, or for as long as the User uses the newsletter).
10. What rights do you have over your data?
The User may request information on how and for what purpose their personal data is processed.
The User may at any time request a file containing a complete export of their personal data held by the Controller, including all data they have provided. The User may also request erasure of all their personal data. The Controller may refuse erasure where there are legitimate grounds to keep the data, in particular where Polish or EU law requires it to be retained.
The User may at any time rectify inaccurate personal data or complete data that is incomplete. This does not apply to the username, which cannot be changed. The Controller reserves the right to review and update personal data.
The User has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority — the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych) — if they consider that their personal data is processed in breach of the GDPR or the Polish Personal Data Protection Act.
11. Where do we transfer data?
The Controller does not transfer personal data to third parties, except that it may disclose personal data to the extent necessary to entities authorised under Polish or EU law, or where a separate agreement with the data subject so provides.
The above does not apply to sharing personal data with the Controller’s employees and contractors insofar as this is necessary to provide the Services.
12. E-mail correspondence
If a person contacts the Controller by e-mail, the Controller may process their personal data in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. In addition, personal data may be processed for purposes related to:

- presenting an offer;
