1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1. This privacy policy of the Online Store is for informational purposes only, which means that it does not impose any obligations on the Service Users or Customers of the Online Store. The privacy policy primarily contains rules regarding the processing of personal data by the Administrator in the Online Store, including the basis, purposes, and period of personal data processing, as well as the rights of data subjects and information on the use of cookies and analytical tools in the Online Store.

1.2. The administrator of personal data collected through the Online Store is Maciej Pręt, conducting business activity under the name EMPE MACIEJ PRĘT, entered in the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity of the Republic of Poland kept by the minister responsible for the economy, with: business address and address for service: ul. Marszałkowska 25/1, 66-530 Drezdenko, NIP (Tax Identification Number): PL2810097995, REGON (National Business Registry Number): 389007331, e-mail address: contact@fat-dp.com and telephone number: +48 660 521 139 – hereinafter referred to as the “Administrator” and also being the Online Store Service Provider and Seller.

1.3. Personal data in the Online Store is processed by the Administrator in accordance with applicable law, in particular in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 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 “GDPR” or “GDPR Regulation.”

1.4. The 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, with two exceptions: (1) concluding contracts with the Administrator – failure to provide, in the cases and to the extent indicated on the Online Store website and in the Online Store Regulations and this privacy policy, the personal data necessary to conclude and perform a Sales Contract or a contract for the provision of Electronic Services with the Administrator results in the inability to conclude such a contract. In such a case, the provision of personal data is a contractual requirement and if the data subject wishes to conclude a given agreement with the Administrator, they are obliged to provide the required data. Each time, the scope of data required to conclude an agreement is indicated in advance on the Online Store website and in the Online Store Regulations; (2) the Administrator’s statutory obligations – the provision of personal data is a statutory requirement resulting from generally applicable laws imposing on the Administrator the obligation to process personal data (e.g., processing data for the purpose of keeping tax or accounting records), and failure to provide such data will prevent the Administrator from performing these obligations.

1.5. The Administrator takes special care to protect the interests of the persons whose personal data it processes, and in particular is responsible for and ensures that the data it collects is: (1) processed in accordance with the law; (2) collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; (3) factually correct and adequate in relation to the purposes for which it is processed; (4) stored in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; and (5) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.

1.6. Taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity of the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Controller shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing is performed in accordance with the GDPR and to be able to demonstrate this. These measures shall be reviewed and updated as necessary. The Administrator shall use technical measures to prevent unauthorized persons from obtaining and modifying personal data sent electronically.

1.7. All words, expressions, and acronyms appearing in this privacy policy and beginning with a capital letter (e.g., Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) shall be understood in accordance with their definition contained in the Online Store Regulations available on the Online Store’s website.
