Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your data?

The data controller for this website and for the consultancy services described on it is Padusi, operating from Widuchowska 13, Szczecin, Poland. Any question about how your personal data is handled can be directed to [email protected] or +48 91 488 50 22. This policy is written to comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR") and the Polish Act of 10 May 2018 on the Protection of Personal Data.

What information do we collect?

Through this website, we collect only what you choose to give us. If you use the contact form, that includes your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message. The form does not store this data on a server; it is submitted through your own email client, addressed to [email protected]. If you contact us directly by phone or email outside the form, we receive whatever information you include in that communication.

If you set cookie preferences, a small preference record is stored in your browser. If you consent to analytics cookies, we may also receive anonymized or pseudonymized information about how pages on this site are used, such as which pages are visited and for how long.

Why do we process this data?

We process contact details to respond to inquiries about our consultancy services and, where a consultation proceeds, to communicate about scope, timelines, and findings. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries and, once a service relationship begins, the performance of that agreement, in line with Article 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where cookies are used for analytics or measurement, the legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a), which you can withdraw at any time.

Do we share your data with anyone else?

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate this website, such as hosting providers, strictly to the extent necessary for them to provide that service, and only under confidentiality obligations. We do not transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area without appropriate safeguards being in place.

How long do we keep your data?

Inquiry-related communications are generally kept for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and, if a consultation proceeds, for the duration of that engagement plus a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes, typically not exceeding six years, in line with Polish civil law limitation periods. Cookie preference records are kept until you change them or clear your browser storage, and expire automatically after a set period as described in our Cookie Policy.

What rights do you have?

Under the GDPR, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request erasure of your data, to request restriction of processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to request portability of data you provided to us. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframes required under the GDPR, generally within one month of receiving a verified request.

Can you complain to a supervisory authority?

Yes. If you believe your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the Urząd Ochrony Danych Osobowych (UODO), or with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence within the European Union.

Is any of this processing automated?

No. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals who contact us or engage our services.

How can this policy change?

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. We encourage visiting this page periodically if you have an ongoing relationship with us.
