  1. How and why we share personal data with business partners and service providers

In this section we explain how and why we share personal data with business partners and service providers. When we share personal data with these companies, we require them to maintain security and they must not use personal data for their own marketing purposes.

Business partners

We work with many business partners who sell products using our Services.

In such situations, we only share personal data that enables our business partners to provide their services. For example, when you shop on our Website, we may share your name and contact details with our business partners so that they can deliver the products you have selected.

 

Service providers

We cooperate with carefully selected service providers who perform specific operations on our behalf. These include, for example, companies that help us provide customer services, technology services, data storage and linking, as well as process payments and deliver orders. We only share personal data that enables our suppliers to provide these services.

Some of the service providers we work with manage online media channels where they place relevant ads for our products and services, as well as for our suppliers and business partners. For example, you may see an ad about our products and services when you use a particular social media site or watch online TV.

  1. How and why we share personal data with other entities?

We may share personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:

  • when the law or a public authority stipulates that we must share personal data;
  • when we are required to share personal data to establish, exercise or defend our rights (including transferring personal data to other persons to prevent fraud and reduce credit risk);
  • to an organisation to which we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we may have concluded with you. If the transfer or sale is successful, the entity receiving your personal data may use your personal data in the same manner as we do;
  • to any legal successor associated with our business.
  1. How do we protect your personal data?

We know how important it is to properly secure and manage personal data. This section outlines selected measures we have introduced. To ensure that your data is safe, we use computer security features, such as:

  • restricting access only to the staff who need it to perform their duties;
  • we enforce physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards related to the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal data;
  • physical control of access to our buildings and files;
  • firewalls and data encryption in transit using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

However, although we have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, we cannot ensure that any personal data sent to us online is secure.

The personal data we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a location outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by businesses operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. If we do so, we will ensure that your privacy rights are respected in compliance with this Policy. The most common manner in which we do this is through a specific type of agreement (see here for more information: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_en) or through an approved programme such as Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome.

 

  1. How long do we process personal data

We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need to, which depends on a number of factors:

  1. (Primarily) the reason why we collected it;
  2. How long ago was it collected;
  3. Is there a legal/regulatory basis for keeping the data by us;
  4. Do we need the data to protect your interest or ours.
  1. The freedom of choice in terms of receiving marketing communications and participating in market research

We will send you relevant offers and information about our products and services in a number of ways, including by e-mail, but only if you agree to receive this marketing information.
Upon signing up on our Website, you will be asked if you wish to receive marketing communications. At any time, you will have the option to change your choice of marketing preferences via the settings panel in your user account, by phone (tel.: 508 170 110 or 600 488 712) or in writing (BluzUp, ul. Czerniakowska 73/79 lok. 1, 00-718 Warsaw).
