When editing your account data, you may provide further information — including data about animals in your care and their diet components — in accordance with the options available within your account.

Additionally, our system used to manage user accounts records your IP address from which you registered your user account.

Providing data is a condition for placing an order.

Additionally, the system used to process the order records your IP address from which you placed the order.

For this purpose, we may, for example, send emails containing information about an incomplete order and an incentive to finalize the transaction.

For the purposes of these actions, we may process personal data such as information provided during the ordering process, in particular your name and email address, as well as information about cart contents, the date the transaction was started, and other data left in connection with the initiated purchasing process.

Providing data is a condition for receiving the newsletter.

Additionally, the mailing system records your IP address from which you subscribed to the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the email client you use to manage your email, and tracks your actions taken in connection with messages sent to you. Therefore, we also have information about which messages you opened, in which messages you clicked on links, etc.

In the mailing system, we may define, based on various criteria related to your activity, interests, or other preferences, specific groups or segments of newsletter recipients that affect what kind of messages you receive as part of the newsletter.

Data provided by you in connection with subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis is our legitimate interest, which in this case is the pursuit of marketing goals.

As for the processing of information that does not come from you but was collected automatically, we rely on our legitimate interest consisting of analyzing newsletter subscriber behavior in order to optimize marketing activities.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the dedicated link in each newsletter message, or simply by contacting me. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not result in the deletion of your data from the mailing system. Data is archived for the purpose of any potential establishment, pursuit, or defense of claims related to the newsletter, as well as to ensure the ability to demonstrate that newsletter activities were conducted in compliance with the law.		 Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

Providing data is a condition for establishing contact.

Additionally, the communication system records your IP address from which you sent the message.

Data is processed for the purpose of conducting communication, which constitutes our legitimate interest. After the communication ends, the data is archived for the purpose of any potential establishment, pursuit, or defense of claims related to the communication.		 Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Fulfillment of tax and accounting obligations In connection with the performance of the contract, we also fulfill various tax and accounting obligations, in particular by issuing invoices, including invoices in our accounting records, storing documentation, etc.

In this case, we rely on our legitimate interest consisting of protecting our interests. Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Creating advertising audience groups Your email address stored in our database may be sent to a specific advertising system (e.g. Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads) to create an advertising audience group using that email address.

When using this feature, the email address is hashed before being sent to the advertising system to create the audience group.

The email address will be used in the matching process conducted by the advertising system.

The advertising system does not share the email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the email address immediately after the matching process is completed.

The advertising system implements processes and procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address and the set of user identifiers forming the audience group created using the email address, including through the use of technical and physical safeguards.

Creating an advertising audience group using your email address constitutes our legitimate interest, which in this case is the pursuit of our marketing goals.		 Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Social media management If you follow our profiles on social media platforms or interact with content published by us on social media, you naturally make visible to us your data that is publicly available in your social media profile. We process this data solely within the given social media platform and solely for the purpose of managing that social media platform, which constitutes our legitimate interest.

If you contact us via a private message, you naturally provide us with your personal data contained in the correspondence, in particular your image and name. Your data in this case is processed for the purpose of communicating with you, and the basis for processing is our legitimate interest.

It may happen that we initiate contact with you through social media for the purpose of offering cooperation, in which case your data will be processed for the purpose of seeking potential business partners, offering and establishing cooperation, which is our legitimate interest.

We base the processing of this information on our legitimate interest, which consists of conducting marketing activities, including ad targeting within third-party systems for the purpose of marketing our own products and services. From within the tools, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not attributed to specific individuals.

Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.		 Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Providing additional features using only Anonymous Information On our pages, we may embed video or audio players, social widgets, comment modules, or other tools provided by third parties. All of these tools process Anonymous Information. We base the processing of Anonymous Information on our legitimate interest, which in this case consists of ensuring the ability to use additional features on the website.

Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use. Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR
Fulfillment of obligations related to personal data protection As a data controller, we are obligated to fulfill obligations related to personal data protection.

Storage of User Content When submitting User Content (as defined in our terms and conditions), e.g. a comment or review, you must provide personal data necessary for that purpose.

Providing data is a condition for submitting User Content.

Additionally, our IT system records your IP address from which you submitted the User Content.

The IT system handling User Content may be operated by a third-party provider. In such a case, the use of the system is subject to the terms and privacy policy of the third-party provider. Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.

Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR
Fulfillment of obligations under the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) The EU regulation known as GPSR imposes on us, as a seller, various legal obligations related to product safety. These concern, among other things:
▪ receiving complaints from consumers who purchased a product, notifications related to product safety, accident reports,
▪ conducting communication in all matters related to product safety,
▪ notifying consumers of product-related risks if the product turns out to be unsafe,
▪ carrying out procedures for the recovery of unsafe products from purchasers,
▪ notifying manufacturers, importers, other distributors about product safety matters,
▪ the obligation to cooperate with market surveillance authorities in product safety matters,
▪ maintaining records and registers related to product safety.

In order to fulfill the above obligations, we may process personal data related to you, such as: name, delivery address, email address, phone number, order number, order date, other information related to the order placed.		 Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with applicable GPSR provisions

# 4: What information do we hold about you?

Within each of the purposes described above, we may process a different scope of data — the scope necessary to fulfill a specific purpose. The data includes information such as:

  • name,
  • email address,
  • phone number,
  • IP address,
  • image,
  • delivery address,
  • invoice data,
  • bank account number,
  • order details,
  • data about animals in your care,
  • data about animal diet components,
  • data collected in the mailing system,
  • data collected in the SMS messaging system,
  • information visible in social media profiles,
  • information contained in correspondence,
  • information contained in User Content or accompanying User Content,
  • Anonymous Information.

# 5: What is "Anonymous Information"?

We use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of our website. This includes in particular the following information:

  • information about the operating system and web browser,
  • pages viewed,
  • time spent on the website,
  • transitions between individual pages,
  • clicks on individual links,
  • mouse movements,
  • page scrolling,
  • the source from which you navigate to the website,
  • the age range you fall into,
  • your gender,
  • your approximate location limited to the city,
  • your interests or other preferences determined based on online activity.

This information is referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Anonymous Information."

Anonymous Information, in our assessment, does not in itself constitute personal data, because it does not allow us to identify you and we do not combine it with the typical personal data we collect about you. Nevertheless, taking into account the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information were to be classified as personal data, we have also included detailed explanations regarding the processing of this information in this Privacy Policy.

We are unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you, because we are unable to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From within the tools that collect Anonymous Information, we only have access to a set of statistics and information not attributed to specific individuals.

The processing of Anonymous Information enables us to provide you with the ability to use the functionalities available on the website. Additionally, Anonymous Information is used for analytical, statistical, and marketing purposes, such as setting and targeting advertisements.

Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers on the terms set out in their terms of service and privacy policies. It may be used by these providers to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertisements, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize content and advertisements displayed on individual platforms, websites, and applications. Detailed information related to this can be found in the section dedicated to the tools we use.

# 6: Where do we get information about you?

In most cases, you provide it to us yourself. For example, this happens when you register a user account, place an order, subscribe to the newsletter, submit a complaint or withdraw from a contract, contact us, and use functionalities available on our website or in third-party services (e.g. social media).

Additionally, some information about you may be automatically collected by tools we use. Detailed information about third-party tools can be found in the appendix to this Privacy Policy.

# 7: Is the data secure?

We care about the security of your personal data. We have analyzed the risks associated with individual processing operations of your data and then implemented appropriate security measures and personal data protection measures. We continuously monitor the state of our technical infrastructure, train our personnel, review the procedures we use, and introduce necessary improvements.

# 8: How long will we store personal data?

We process your personal data for as long as it is justified within a given personal data processing purpose, which means that processing periods vary depending on the purpose. Please remember that the end of processing your data for one purpose does not necessarily lead to the complete deletion or destruction of your personal data, because the same set of data may be processed for another purpose, for the period indicated for that purpose. Complete deletion or destruction of data occurs when we have completed all purposes and in other cases specified in the GDPR.

The retention periods are indicated in the table below.

Data processing purpose Data retention period
User account Until the user account is deleted
Order fulfillment and contract Until the contract is performed.
Customer order completion For 6 months from the start of the order.
Complaints and contract withdrawals Until the handling of the complaint or withdrawal is completed.

Analysis and statistics Until the information loses its usefulness or an objection to processing is raised
Own marketing Until the information loses its usefulness or an objection to processing is raised

Personal data protection obligations Until the statute of limitations for our liability as a data controller expires
DSA-related obligations Until the statute of limitations for our liability as an intermediary service provider expires.
Storage of User Content Until the User Content is deleted.
GPSR-related obligations Until the expiration of the period required by law (generally no longer than 10 years)

# 9: Who are the recipients of personal data?

We'll venture to say that modern business cannot function without services provided by third parties. We also use such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. External service providers that participate in the processing of your personal data are listed in the table below.

Data processor Purpose of cooperation with the data processor
Hosting provider Storing data on the server
Invoicing system provider Issuing invoices
Mailing system provider Newsletter management
SMS notification system provider SMS notification management
Cloud service provider Google services
Accounting office Bookkeeping
Automated communication system provider Operation of automated communication mechanisms (chatbots), managing communication with users on social media platforms
Technical support Technical work in areas involving personal data

In the case of orders for physical products, your data is shared with the carrier for the purpose of delivering the order.

If the need arises, your data may be shared with a legal counsel or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the necessity to seek legal assistance requiring access to your personal data.

Your personal data may also be transferred to tax offices to the extent necessary to fulfill tax, settlement, and accounting obligations. This concerns in particular all declarations, reports, statements, and other accounting documents that contain your personal data.

Furthermore, if such a necessity arises, your personal data may be shared with entities, authorities, or institutions authorized to access data under applicable law, such as police services, security services, courts, and prosecutors' offices.

If such a necessity arises, we may share your personal data with third parties and relevant market surveillance authorities — in matters related to product safety. The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) imposes on us, among other things, the obligation to inform manufacturers and importers about any accidents related to the product being sold, for which we may need your personal data. The same applies to market surveillance authorities: if an authority orders us to disclose information about customers who purchased a product, we may transfer your personal data to it.

Regarding Anonymous Information, access to it is held by the providers of tools that collect Anonymous Information. The providers of these tools are independent data controllers of the data collected within them and may share this data on terms they define in their own terms of service and privacy policies, which is beyond our control. A list of third-party tools can be found in the appendix to this Privacy Policy.

# 10: Do we transfer data to third countries or international organizations?

Yes, some of the processing operations involving your personal data may involve their transfer to third countries.

We transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools that utilize resources located in third countries, particularly in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection through appropriate compliance mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.

Currently, your personal data is transferred to third countries in connection with our use of the following solutions:

Type of solution Solution provider Third country
Cloud Google USA
Chatbots ManyChat USA

In addition, Anonymous Information collected in connection with the use of tools listed in the appendix to this privacy policy may also be transferred to third countries, particularly the USA.

# 11: Do we use profiling?

We do not make decisions about you that are based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you. Indeed, we use tools within which we may take certain actions depending on information collected through tracking mechanisms, but we believe that these actions do not have a significant impact on you, because they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of a contract you may enter into, etc.

Using certain tools, we may, for example, direct personalized advertisements to you based on previous actions you took on a given website or suggest products that may interest you. This is referred to as behavioral advertising. We encourage you to deepen your knowledge about behavioral advertising, particularly regarding privacy-related issues. Detailed information, along with the ability to manage behavioral advertising settings, can be found here.

# 12: What are your rights?

The GDPR grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:

  • the right to access your data and receive a copy thereof;
  • the right to rectification (correction) of your data;
  • the right to erasure of data (if you believe there is no basis for us to process your data, you may request that we delete it);
  • the right to restrict processing of data (you may request that we restrict the processing of data solely to its storage or to performing actions agreed with you, if in your opinion we hold inaccurate data or process it without justification);
  • the right to object to data processing (you have the right to object to data processing based on a legitimate interest; you should indicate the particular situation that, in your opinion, justifies ceasing the processing subject to the objection; we will cease processing your data for these purposes unless we demonstrate that the grounds for processing override your rights or that your data is necessary for the establishment, pursuit, or defense of claims);
  • the right to data portability (you have the right to receive, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, the personal data you provided on the basis of a contract or your consent; you may request that this data be sent directly to another entity);
  • the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data, if you have previously given such consent;
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you determine that we process data unlawfully, you may file a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office or another competent supervisory authority).

The rules related to the exercise of the above rights are described in detail in Articles 16–21 of the GDPR. We encourage you to review these provisions. For our part, we consider it necessary to explain that the above rights are not absolute and will not apply to all processing operations involving your personal data.

We emphasize that one of the rights listed above is always available to you: if you believe that in processing your personal data we have violated data protection regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (the President of the Personal Data Protection Office).
