2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?
As part of the implementation of personal data protection in our organisation, we decided not to appoint a personal data protection officer due to the fact that in our situation it is not mandatory. In matters related to the protection of personal data and broadly understood privacy, you can contact the following e-mail address: rodo@bravenew.pl.
3: What information do we have about you?
Depending on the purpose, we may process the following information about you:

We have described the scope of processed data in detail in relation to each purpose of processing, further in this policy.

This information is referred to in the remainder of this privacy policy as „Anonymous Information”.
Anonymous Information by itself is not, in our opinion, personal information, as it does not allow us to identify you and we do not match it with the typical personal information we collect about you. Nevertheless, taking into account the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precautionary measure, in the event that Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, we have also included detailed explanations in this privacy policy regarding the processing of this information.
As Anonymous Information is collected by external tools we use (Google Analytics, Facebook Custom Audiences, Hotjar, Google Ads, Facebook Connect, YouTube, Spreaker, Instagram, Behance, LinkedIn, Clutch), Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers on the rules resulting from their regulations and privacy policies.
The processing of Anonymous Information allows us to provide you with the possibility of using the YouTube player and Spreaker embedded on blog pages. In addition, Anonymous Information is used for analytical, statistical and marketing purposes (creating Custom Audience Groups on Facebook, setting, targeting and targeting advertisements).
Anonymous Information is also used by the providers of individual tools to provide and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, as well as personalise the content and advertisements displayed on individual websites, sites and applications.

In addition, the system used to handle the newsletter saves your IP number that you used when subscribing to the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the e-mail client you use to handle e-mail and tracks your actions taken in connection with the messages sent to you. Therefore, we also have information about the messages you opened, the messages in which you clicked on links, etc.
The data provided by you in connection with the subscription to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for their processing is your consent (Article 6(1) (a) of the GDPR) expressed when subscribing to the newsletter.
As for the processing of information that does not come from you, but was collected automatically by the mailing system, I rely in this respect on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1) (f) GDPR) in analysing the behaviour of newsletter subscribers in order to optimisation of mailing activities.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting us.
Despite unsubscribing from the newsletter, your data will still be stored in the database in order to identify the returning subscriber and possibly defend claims related to sending you the newsletter, in particular to demonstrate that you consented to receive the newsletter and the moment of withdrawal of the consent, which is our legitimate interest referred to in Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR.
You can modify your data provided for the purposes of receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking on the appropriate link visible in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting us.

In this case, your data is processed in order to contact you, and the basis for processing is Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR, i.e. our legitimate interest. The legal basis for processing after the end of contact is also our legitimate interest in the form of archiving correspondence for the purpose of ensuring the possibility of proving certain facts in the future (Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR).
The content of the correspondence may be archived and we are not able to clearly determine when it will be deleted. You have the right to request a history of correspondence with us (if it was subject to archiving), as well as request its removal unless its archiving is justified due to our overriding interests, e.g. defence against potential claims on your part.
Tax and accounting obligations – details

Groups of recipients – details
Your e-mail address stored in the newsletter database or in the store’s database may be sent to Facebook in order to create a group of ad recipients using this e-mail address.
When using this feature, the email address is hashed before being sent to Facebook to form an audience.
The e-mail address will be used in the matching process conducted by Facebook.
Facebook does not share the e-mail address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the e-mail address as soon as the matching process is completed.
Facebook has implemented processes and procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the e-mail address sent to it and the set of Facebook user identifiers that create a group of recipients created using the e-mail address, i.e. through the use of technical and physical security.
Creating a group of recipients of Facebook ads using your e-mail address is our legitimate interest, as referred to in Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR. You can object to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose at any time, just write to us at rodo@bravenew.pl.
Social media – details
If you follow our profiles on social networks or interact with the content we publish on social media, we naturally see your data, which is publicly available on your social profile.

Your use of social networks is subject to the regulations and privacy policies of the administrators of these websites, and these administrators provide you with services by electronic means, fully individually and independently of us.
We encourage you to consciously use social networking sites and take care of your privacy within them, in particular by careful selection of published content and managing privacy settings.

7: How long will we keep your personal data?
The data storage periods have been indicated separately for each processing purpose. You will find this information under the details for each separate processing purpose. Most of the data is deleted after the expiry of the limitation period for claims.
8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
We would venture to say that modern business is not able to do without services provided by third parties. We also use such services. Some of these services are related to the processing of your personal data. External service providers that participate in the processing of your personal data are:
- The hosting provider that stores the data on the server,
- The provider of the cloud computing service in which files that may contain your personal data are stored,
- The provider of the mailing system in which your data is stored, if you are a newsletter subscriber,
- a CRM system provider where we store your data to improve the customer service process and for archival purposes,
- an invoicing system provider where your data is stored in order to issue an invoice,
- an accounting office that processes your data visible on invoices,
- an entity providing maintenance services that gain access to data, if the technical works carried out relate to areas where personal data are located,
- Other subcontractors who gain access to data, if the scope of their activities requires such access.
All entities mentioned above process your data on the basis of concluded personal data processing agreements and guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be made available to a legal advisor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from the necessity to use legal assistance that requires access to your personal data.
Your personal data may also be transferred to tax offices to the extent necessary to fulfil tax, accounting and accounting obligations. It concerns in particular all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents in which your personal data is located.
In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be made available to entities, bodies or institutions authorised to obtain access to data on the basis of legal provisions, such as the police, security services, courts, prosecutor’s offices.
Your data is made available to postal and courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver correspondence. These companies become independent administrators of your personal data.
Moreover, when it comes to Anonymous Information, the providers of tools or plugins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are independent administrators of the data collected in them and may share this data on the terms specified by them in their own regulations and privacy policies, over which we have no influence.
9: Do we transfer your data to third countries or international organisations?
Yes, part of the processing of 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 store personal data on servers located in third countries, in particular in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of protection of personal data through appropriate compliance mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
Personal data is stored on servers located in third countries using the following tools:
- MailerLite mailing system, the provider of which is MailerLite, Inc. (Delaware corporation at 548 Market St, PMB 98174, San Francisco, CA 94104-5401, United States) regarding your name, e-mail address, IP address and statistical information related to your responses to sent messages.
MailerLite, Inc. ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data through the use of compliance mechanisms provided for by the GDPR, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
We also remind you here that we use external tools that may collect Anonymous Information. The providers of these tools often use servers located all over the world, in particular in the United States of America (USA), to store the collected information.
10: Do we use profiling? Do we make automated decisions based on your personal data?
We do not make decisions for you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would have legal effects on you or similarly significantly affect you.
Yes, we do use tools that can take certain actions depending on the information collected as part of the 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, they do not affect the terms of the contract, which you can conclude with us, etc.
By using certain tools we can, for example, direct personalised advertisements to you based on your previous actions taken on the website or suggest products that may be of interest to you. We are talking about the so-called behavioural advertising. We encourage you to learn more about behavioural advertising, in particular regarding privacy issues. Detailed information, along with the ability to manage your behavioural advertising settings, can be found here.
We emphasise that as part of the tools we use, we only have access to Anonymous Information. This information is stored on the servers of the suppliers of individual tools, and these servers can most often be located all over the world.

- The right to rectify (correct) your data,
- The right to delete data (if in your opinion there are no grounds for us to process your data, you can demand that we delete them),
- The right to limit data processing (you can request that we limit the processing of data only to their storage or performance of activities agreed with you if in your opinion we have incorrect data or we process it unjustifiably),

- The right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data, if you previously gave such consent,
- The right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (if you find that we are processing data unlawfully, you can submit a complaint to The President of the Personal Data Protection Office or another competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the implementation of the above-mentioned rights are described in detail in Art. 16 – 21 of the GDPR. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with these regulations. For our part, we consider it necessary to explain to you that the above-mentioned rights are not absolute and you will not be entitled to all activities of processing your personal data.
We emphasise that you always have one of the rights indicated above – if you believe that we have violated the provisions on the protection of personal data while processing your personal data, you have the option to lodge a complaint with the supervisory body (the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).

The tool is provided by an external entity, i.e. Hotjar Limited, Level 2, St Julian’s Business Center, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian’s STJ 1000, Malta.
Hotjar registers every visitor to our website and allows you to play a video recording of their traffic on our website, as well as generate the so-called heat maps. As part of the Hotjar tool, we do not have access to information that allows us to identify you, because Hotjar does not register the process of filling in the forms.

Google Ads – details

When you visit our website, a Google cookie remarketing file is automatically left on your device, which collects information about your activity on our website. Thanks to the information collected in this way, we are able to display advertisements to you within the Google network depending on your behaviour on our website. For example, if you display a product, the information about this fact will be recorded by the remarketing cookie file, which will allow us to send you an advertisement about that product or any other that we deem appropriate. This advertisement will be displayed to you within the Google network when you use the Internet, browse other websites, etc.
We emphasise that when using Google Ads, we only use Anonymous Information.
By using Google AdWords, we are only able to define the target groups we would like our ads to reach. On this basis, Google decides when and how to present our advertisement to you.
Further processing of the information takes place only if you have given your consent to Google to link your browsing history with your account and to use the information from your Google account to personalise the advertisements displayed on websites. In this case, Google will use your data to create and define lists of target groups for remarketing purposes on various devices. To this end, Google combines the temporarily collected information with other data it holds to form target groups.
If you do not want to receive personalised ads, you can manage your ad settings directly on the Google site.

Facebook Custom Audiences – details
As part of the Facebook Ads advertising system provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S.

You can also manage your privacy settings from your Facebook account. Here you will find useful information in this regard.
Facebook Connect and other social plugins – details
Our website uses plugins, buttons and other social tools, hereinafter collectively referred to as “plugins”, provided by social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN, Behance.
When displaying a website containing a plugin of a given social networking site, your browser sends information about the visit to the administrator of that social networking site. Since the plugin is a part of the social networking site embedded in our website, the browser sends information about the request to download the content of the social networking site to our site.
The plugins collect certain information about you, such as user ID, website visited, date and time, and other information about your web browser.
Social network administrators use some of this information to personalise the viewing conditions of our website. For example, when you visit a page with a “Like” button, the administrator of the social networking site needs to know who you are to show you which of your friends also like our page.
The information collected by the plugins may also be used by the administrators of social networking sites for their own purposes, such as, for example, improving their own products, creating user profiles, analysing and optimising their own activities, advertising targeting. We have no real influence on how the information collected by the plugins is then used by the administrators of social networks. You can look for details in this regard in the regulations and privacy policies of individual social networking sites.
Social network plugins collect and transmit information to the administrators of these websites even when you browse our website without being logged in to your account on the social network. However, then the browser sends a more limited set of information.
If you have logged in to one of the social networking sites, the website administrator will be able to directly assign a visit to our site to your profile on a given social networking site.
If you do not want social networking sites to assign the data collected during your visit to our website directly to your profile on a given website, you must log out of this website before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of plugins on the website by using appropriate extensions for your browser, e.g. blocking scripts.
In addition, the use of some plugins may involve the publication of certain information within your social profiles. For example, information about clicking the “Like” button may be available on your Facebook timeline. Of course, if you share some content on your social media using plugins embedded on our website, this sharing will naturally be visible in your profile.
As for the details related to the processing of information collected by plugins by social network administrators, in particular about the purpose and scope of data collection and their further processing and use by administrators, as well as the possibility of contact and your rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to protect your privacy, you can find everything in the privacy policies of individual service providers:
