The provision of data is generally voluntary.

However, some data is necessary to enter into and perform the sales contract, in particular:

  • first and last name;

  • delivery address;

  • email address;

  • data necessary to process payment;

  • data required to issue appropriate sales documents.

Failure to provide this data may prevent the order from being placed or fulfilled.

Providing data for marketing purposes, including signing up for the newsletter, is voluntary and is not a condition of making a purchase.

The user may refuse consent for marketing without affecting their ability to use the basic functions of the Store.


7. Data recipients

The Data Controller may only share personal data with entities that need it to achieve specified purposes or to whom the data must be transferred under applicable laws.

Such entities may include:

The Data Controller does not sell Customers' personal data to third parties.

When using data processors acting on behalf of the Data Controller, appropriate contractual and organizational measures are taken to ensure data protection.


8. International transfer of personal data

Towary Orla Limited is headquartered in Hong Kong and operates through an online store aimed at Customers in Poland, among others.

Consequently, personal data may be processed in Hong Kong and other countries where the service providers used by the Data Controller operate.

Data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area if this is necessary to fulfill the order or perform other lawful activities.

The Data Controller takes into account the requirements of the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the GDPR to the extent they apply.

If a specified data transfer is subject to Chapter V of the GDPR, the Data Controller ensures an appropriate transfer basis, in particular by applying the appropriate safeguards provided for by the GDPR, such as standard contractual clauses, where required and appropriate.

If necessary, the Data Controller will implement additional data protection measures.

Information about the data transfer mechanisms used and the ability to obtain a copy of the appropriate safeguards can be obtained by contacting:

info@towaryorla.pl


9. Cookies and similar technologies

The Store may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the proper functioning of the website, support the shopping cart, maintain user sessions, and perform other functions.

Depending on the actual configuration of the Store, the following categories of cookies may be used:

9.1. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used to ensure the basic functioning of the Store.

They may enable:

  • remembering the contents of the shopping cart;

  • maintaining the user session;

  • securing login processes;

  • properly carrying out the purchasing process;

If they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user or to transmit a message, their use does not require separate consent under the principles provided for in applicable laws.

Cookies may be used to remember user preferences, such as the website language or interface settings.

Unless their use falls under an exception provided for in applicable laws, they will only be used after obtaining appropriate consent.

Analytics technologies requiring consent will only be activated after consent is obtained.

9.4. Marketing cookies

Cookies used for marketing purposes that require consent will not be activated before consent is given.

9.5. Consent management

The user should be able to:

  • accept optional cookies;

  • reject optional cookies;

  • select individual categories;

  • change previous settings;

  • withdraw consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent should be as easy as giving it.

The user can also manage cookies using their web browser settings.

10. Personal data retention period

The Data Controller retains personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required by law or justified by the need to establish, exercise, or defend claims.

Data is retained for the period necessary to fulfill the order, handle returns and complaints, and then for the period resulting from applicable laws regarding sales documentation, tax obligations, and the statute of limitations on claims.

10.3. Marketing data

After consent is withdrawn, the Data Controller ceases processing data for the purpose covered by the consent, unless there is a separate legal basis for continuing to retain specific information.

10.4. Technical data

Technical data and system logs are retained for the period necessary to ensure the security and proper functioning of the Store.

10.5. Cookies

The retention period of cookies depends on their type and purpose. Detailed validity periods should be indicated in the cookie list provided to the user.

11. Rights of data subjects

Every person whose personal data is processed may exercise the rights arising from the provisions applicable to that processing.

  • rectify incorrect data;

  • delete data in cases specified by law;

  • restrictions on processing;

  • data transfers;

  • objecting to processing;

  • request information on whether the Data Controller holds their personal data;

In particular:

  1. Personal data will not be used to send marketing messages without the required consent.

  1. Consent to receive the newsletter is voluntary.

13. Personal data security

The Data Controller undertakes to use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data.

In the event of a personal data breach, the Data Controller takes measures to mitigate its effects and fulfils its notification and reporting obligations where provided for by law.


14. Automated decision-making and profiling

If the Data Controller uses tools that enable the personalisation of offers or the analysis of purchasing preferences, data processing is carried out in accordance with applicable law.

If automated decision-making, including profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning the user, is implemented, the Data Controller will provide the required information about the principles of such processing, its significance and the expected consequences, and ensure the user's appropriate rights.


15. Personal data protection complaints

Anyone who believes that their personal data is being processed unlawfully may contact the Data Controller directly:
