5. Why do we process your data (purposes and legal bases)?
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis under GDPR. Depending on the situation, the legal basis is:
A) Contract and steps before contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b))
We process data to:
- answer your inquiry, prepare and send an offer,
- register you for training and deliver training/consulting,
- manage your account (if available) and provide access to online services,
- handle payments and service delivery logistics,
- issue certificates/diplomas and maintain attendance lists (if applicable to the service).
B) Legal obligations (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c))
We process data to comply with laws, especially:
- accounting and tax obligations (invoicing, records),
- handling statutory complaints and required documentation.
C) Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f))
We may process data for our legitimate interests, such as:
- ensuring website and service security, preventing abuse/fraud,
- maintaining logs and troubleshooting,
- improving our services and internal statistics (where permitted),
- maintaining records to demonstrate compliance (accountability),
- debt collection and legal defense/claims.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object (see Section 9).
D) Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))
We rely on consent where required, e.g.:
- sending marketing emails/SMS/calls where consent is required by law,
- placing non-essential cookies (analytics/advertising) and similar technologies,
- optional publication of testimonials or marketing materials (if applicable).
You can withdraw consent at any time (it does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal).
6. Do you have to provide your data?
Providing data is voluntary, but may be necessary to:
- receive an offer,
- register for training,
- or receive services.
Typically required data:
- name, email, phone (for contact and organization),
- for invoicing: address (individual) or company details including VAT/NIP (business),
- for an online account: login/email and password (set by you).
If you do not provide necessary data, we may not be able to provide the service or may provide it only in a limited form.
7. Who do we share data with?
We may share data with:
- our trainers and collaborators involved in delivery (e.g., attendance list, training organization details),
- service providers acting as processors (e.g., hosting, email, IT support, CRM, analytics, error monitoring),
- accounting and payment providers (to process invoices and payments),
- legal and audit advisors (when necessary),
- public authorities (only if required by law).
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
8. How long do we keep data?
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes described:
- service and contract data: for the duration of the relationship and afterwards as needed for claims/defense and documentation,
- tax/accounting data: for the period required by applicable law,
- marketing based on consent: until you withdraw consent,
- marketing based on legitimate interests (where permitted): until you object or we no longer have a legitimate reason,
- analytics/cookie data: according to cookie retention settings (see Cookie Policy).
As a general rule (unless law requires longer), we do not keep your personal data longer than 10 years from the last service provided, especially for documentation and claim limitation purposes.
9. Your rights
Under GDPR you have the right to:
- access your data,
- correct inaccurate data,
- delete data (in certain cases),
- restrict processing,
- data portability (where applicable),
- object to processing based on legitimate interests (including direct marketing),
- withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent),
- lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
How to exercise your rights

Supervisory authority
You can lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.
In Poland, the supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO / PUODO).
10. When can you object?
You can object when:
- we process your data based on legitimate interests and you have a situation that justifies objection, and/or
- we process your data for direct marketing (you can object at any time; no justification needed).
11. Automated processing and profiling
We may use limited automated processing (including profiling) to:
- understand interests and improve our services,
- tailor training levels/programs or website content.
This will not produce legal effects or similarly significant effects for you.
12. International data transfers (outside the EEA)
Some of our service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
If data is transferred outside the EEA, we use appropriate safeguards, such as:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, and/or
- other lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., adequacy decisions where applicable).
You can ask us for more information about the safeguards used.
13. Users from the UK and non-EU countries (informational)
- UK: If you are in the UK, UK GDPR and UK e-privacy rules may apply. We aim to apply GDPR-level protections as a baseline.
- USA and other countries: Local privacy laws may grant additional rights. If/when we actively target those markets at scale, we may publish a country/state-specific addendum.
