This policy applies to the services offered by the Administrator via the website https://trans.info/en. The above policy does not cover websites and services of third parties to which access can be obtained via links located on the aforementioned website. Detailed information regarding the protection of personal data is available from each of the service providers separately. The Administrator recommends that users each time read the relevant documents on the service providers’ websites.
In order to fully use the services and products of the Administrator, the User may create an account or log in to the Service.
To use the services and products offered by the Administrator, it is necessary to register an account through the form made available on the website. During registration, the following data must be provided: first and last name, company name, e‑mail address. During login the User provides the following data: login and password. In addition, the User may supplement the profile operating within their account with other additional data.
The Administrator notes that the User may use the option to log in using an account previously created on the Trans.eu Platform, on the social portal Facebook, Google+ and others that will be integrated with the Service. In such a case, the Administrator processes the personal data of the User provided in the account registration form or retrieves from the User’s account on the aforementioned portals the personal data necessary for the registration and servicing of the account.
When the User uses other services and products of the Administrator, sometimes via dedicated forms made available, the User may provide other data, such as telephone number, tax identification number (NIP), etc.
Providing data is voluntary, however it is necessary for the provision of the service and for contact with the Administrator. In the event that the necessary information is not provided to the Administrator, the Administrator will not be able to perform and conduct the service.
Some data are also collected passively, i.e., through the use of the site (e.g., IP address, resolution, location, type of browser).
Users’ personal data will be processed:
If the User has given such consent, the Administrator sends information about current and future products and services of the Administrator and entities from the Group via the Service or by e‑mail in the form of informational or advertising campaigns.
The User may opt out of receiving such content by sending a message to redakcja@trans.info (so‑called withdrawal of consent to receive commercial information). With regard to personal data, withdrawal of consent is possible at any time, however it does not affect the processing of personal data before its withdrawal.
Data may be shared with other recipients in order to perform the contract with you, to perform a legal obligation incumbent on the Administrator, based on your consent, or for purposes arising from the legitimate interests of the Administrator or a third party.
Recipients may include in particular: entities from the Trans.eu capital group(*), institutions legally authorized to receive your data based on relevant legal provisions (e.g., law enforcement authorities or the judiciary), as well as entities processing data on behalf of the Administrator and their authorized employees, provided that such entities process data on the basis of an agreement with the Administrator and exclusively in accordance with instructions and subject to confidentiality. Entities performing tasks on behalf of and for the benefit of the Administrator include, inter alia, entities providing services necessary to ensure the technical and administrative support for the provision of services, such as IT service providers and entities managing the Service. The Administrator exercises due care in transferring data, applying measures and safeguards to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the data (including SSL, encrypted connections).
The level of protection of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) may differ from that provided by European law. With this in mind, the Administrator transfers personal data outside the EEA only when it is necessary. In the case of such transfer, the Administrator ensures an appropriate level of personal data protection primarily by:
a. transferring personal data to countries for which a European Commission decision has been issued recognizing that country as providing an adequate level of personal data protection;
b. applying the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission;
c. using other appropriate safeguards.
The User has the right to access their personal data, as well as to request their rectification, restriction of processing or deletion, withdrawal of consent to data processing at any time to the extent that the consent relates to such processing, as well as data portability.
The User has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, which in the Republic of Poland is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, if the User considers that the processing of his or her data violates the GDPR.
In addition, the User has the right to object at any time to the processing of data for reasons related to your particular situation, when the Administrator processes the data for purposes arising from legitimate interests, for purposes related to direct marketing, including profiling.
After confirming the identity of the user, the Administrator shall execute the indicated rights based on an analysis of the legitimacy of the request and the applicable legal provisions. The Administrator shall make every reasonable effort to comply with User requests regarding personal data, unless such data must be retained due to applicable law or other legally justified interests of the Administrator.
