3. Your rights and additional information on how your data will be used

This applies to the following groups of recipients:
- hosting company on the basis of entrustment

Your personal data will be processed by the Administrator for no longer than it is necessary to perform related activities specified by separate regulations (e.g., on accounting). With regard to marketing data, the data will not be processed for longer than 3 years.
You have the right to request from the Administrator:

- and data portability.
You have the right to object, with respect to the processing indicated in 3.3c, to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of carrying out the legitimate interests pursued by the Administrator, including profiling, with the right to object not being exercisable if there are valid legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, in particular the establishment, assertion or defense of claims.
You may complain about the Administrator’s actions to the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.
Providing personal data is voluntary but necessary to operate the Service.
Automated decision-making, including profiling for the purpose of providing services under the concluded agreement and for the purpose of direct marketing by the Administrator, may be undertaken in relation to you.
Personal data is not transferred to third countries in terms of data protection regulations. This means that we do not send them outside the USA.
4. Information in Forms
The service collects information that the user voluntarily provides, including personal information if it is provided. The service may record information about connection parameters such as timestamp and IP address. In some cases, the service may also record information to facilitate linking the data in the form with the email address of the user who filled out the form. In this case, the user’s email address appears within the URL of the page containing the form. The data provided in the form is processed for the specific purpose for which the form was intended, such as to fulfill a service request, establish a business contact, or register for a service, etc. Each time, the context and description of the form clearly explains its purpose.
5. Administrator’s logs
User behavior information on the site may be subject to logging. This data is used for site administration purposes.
6. Relevant marketing techniques
The operator uses statistical analysis of site traffic through Google Analytics (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The operator does not transmit personal data to the service operator, only anonymized information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s device. The user can view and edit the information resulting from cookies collected by the Google advertising network using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. The user can also block the Google Analytics tracking code at any time by installing a browser add-on provided by Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The Operator uses remarketing techniques to match advertising messages to the user’s behavior on the site. This may create the illusion that personal information is being used to track the user, but in practice, no personal information is transferred from the Operator to advertising operators. Cookies must be enabled for such activities.
The Operator uses the Facebook pixel technology, which allows Facebook (Facebook Inc. based in the USA) to know that a person registered with it is using the Service. In this case, Facebook relies on data in relation to which it is itself an administrator, and the Operator does not transfer any additional personal data from itself to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user’s device.
The Operator uses a solution that studies user behavior by creating heat maps and recording behavior on the site. This information is anonymized before it is sent to the service operator so that the operator does not know which individual it relates to. Typed passwords and other personal information are not recorded in particular.
