1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1.
This Online Store’s Privacy Policy is for informational purposes only, which means it does not impose any obligations on the Online Store’s Service Users or Customers. The Privacy Policy primarily sets forth the rules governing the processing of personal data by the Administrator in the Online Store, including the legal basis, purposes, and scope of such processing, as well as the rights of data subjects, and information regarding the use of cookies and analytical tools in the Online Store.
1.2.
The controller of personal data collected through the Online Store is V tech Tuning sp. z o.o., registered in the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity of the Republic of Poland maintained by the minister responsible for the economy, with the following details: business address: Janowice 94, 32-020 Wieliczka, NIP 6832102412, REGON 381592873, email address: sklep@vtech.pl, contact phone number: 126586666, address for service: ul. Bieżanowska 71, 30-812 Kraków – hereinafter referred to as the “Administrator,” who is also the Online Store Service Provider and the Seller.
1.3.
Personal data in the Online Store is processed by the Controller in accordance with applicable law, in particular in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) — hereinafter referred to as “GDPR” or “the GDPR Regulation.” Official text of the GDPR Regulation: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PL/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679
1.4.
Use of the Online Store, including making purchases, is voluntary. Similarly, the provision of personal data by a Service Recipient or Customer using the Online Store is voluntary, subject to two exceptions: (1) entering into contracts with the Controller – failure to provide, in the cases and to the extent specified on the Online Store’s website, in the Online Store Terms and Conditions, and in this Privacy Policy, the personal data necessary to conclude and perform a Sales Agreement or an agreement for the provision of an Electronic Service with the Administrator results in the inability to concludesuch a contract. In such a case, providing personal data is a contractual requirement, and if the data subject wishes to enter into a given contract with the Administrator, they are obligated to provide the required data. In each case, the scope of data required to conclude the contract is specified in advance on the Online Store’s website and in the Online Store’s Terms and Conditions; (2) the Controller’s statutory obligations—providing personal data is a statutory requirement arising from generally applicable laws that impose an obligation on the Controller to process personal data (e.g., processing data for the purpose of maintaining tax or accounting records) and failure to provide such data will prevent the Controller from fulfilling these obligations.
1.5.
The controller exercises due diligence to protect the interests of the data subjects whose personal data it processes, and in particular is responsible for and ensures that the data it collects is: (1) processed lawfully; (2) collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; (3) factually accurate and relevant to the purposes for which they are processed; (4) stored in a form that allows for the identification of the data subjects for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose of the processing; and (5) processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
1.6. Taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of natural persons, which may vary in likelihood and severity, the controller shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that processing is carried out in accordance with this Regulation and to be able to demonstrate compliance. These measures shall be reviewed and updated as necessary. The controller shall implement technical measures to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing or modifying personal data transmitted electronically.
1.7.
All words, phrases, and acronyms appearing in this Privacy Policy and beginning with a capital letter (e.g., Seller, Online Store, Electronic Service) shall be understood in accordance with their definitions set forth in the Online Store Terms and Conditions available on the Online Store’s website.

2.2.
The Controller’s processing of personal data requires, in each case, the existence of at least one of the grounds specified in Section 2.1 of the privacy policy. The specific legal bases for the Controller’s processing of the personal data of Service Users and Online Store Customers are set forth in the subsequent section of this Privacy Policy—with reference to

3. PURPOSE, LEGAL BASIS, DURATION, AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING IN THE ONLINE STORE
3.1.In each case, the purpose, legal basis, duration, scope, and recipients of the personal data processed by the Controller are determined by the actions taken by the relevant Service User or Customer in the Online Store. For example, if a Customer decides to make a purchase in the Online Store and chooses to pick up the purchased Product in person instead of having it delivered by courier, their personal data will be processed for the purpose of fulfilling the Sales Agreement, but will no longer be shared with the carrier handling shipments on behalf of the Controller.

4. DATA RECIPIENTS IN THE ONLINE STORE
4.1. For the Online Store to function properly, including the fulfillment of Sales Agreements, the Administrator must use the services of third parties (such as a software provider, a courier, or a payment processor). The Administrator uses only the services of data processors that provide sufficient guarantees that they have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the processing complies with the requirements of the GDPR and protects the rights of data subjects.
4.2. The Controller does not transfer data in every case, nor to all recipients or categories of recipients listed in the privacy policy—the Controller transfers data only when it is necessary to achieve a specific purpose of personal data processing and only to the extent necessary to achieve that purpose. For example, if a Customer chooses in-person pickup, their data will not be transferred to a carrier that works with the Controller.
4.3. The personal data of Service Users and Online Store Customers may be disclosed to the following recipients or categories of recipients:
4.3.1. carriers / freight forwarders / courier brokers – in the case of a Customer who selects delivery of the Product via postal service or courier service in the Online Store, the Administrator shares the collected personal data of the Customer with the selected carrier, freight forwarder, or intermediary handling shipments on behalf of the Administrator to the extent necessary to deliver the Product to the Customer.
4.3.2. entities processing electronic or card payments – In the case of a Customer who uses electronic payment methods or a payment card in the Online Store, the Administrator shares the Customer’s collected personal data with the selected entity that processes such payments in the Online Store on behalf of the Administrator, to the extent necessary to process the payment made by the Customer.
4.3.3. lenders / lessors – in the case of a Customer who uses an installment plan or a lease payment method in the Online Store, the Administrator provides the collected personal data of the Customer to the selected lender or lessor handling the aforementioned payments in the Online Store on behalf of the Administrator, to the extent necessary to process the payment made by the Customer.
4.3.4. the provider of the feedback survey system—in the case of a Customer who has agreed to provide feedback on a Sales Agreement concluded, the Administrator shares the Customer’s collected personal data with a selected entity that provides a feedback survey system for Sales Agreements concluded in the Online Store, at the Administrator’s request, to the extent necessary for the Customer to provide feedback via the feedback survey system.
4.3.5. service providers that supply the Administrator with technical, IT, and organizational solutions enabling the Administrator to conduct business operations, including the Online Store and the Electronic Services provided through it (in particular, providers of software for operating the Online Store, email and hosting providers, and providers of business management software and technical support for the Administrator) – The Administrator discloses the collected personal data of the Customer to a selected provider acting on its behalf only if and to the extent necessary to achieve a specific purpose of data processing in accordance with this privacy policy.
4.3.6. accounting, legal, and consulting service providers that provide the Controller with accounting, legal, or consulting support (in particular, an accounting firm, a law firm, or a debt collection agency) – The Controller discloses the collected personal data of the Customer to a selected service provider acting on its behalf only if and to the extent necessary to achieve a specific purpose of data processing in accordance with this privacy policy.
5. PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE
5.1. The GDPR requires the Controller to provide information about automated decision-making, including profiling, as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and—at least in such cases — relevant information regarding the principles governing such decision-making, as well as the significance and anticipated consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Controller provides information regarding possible profiling in this section of the privacy policy.
5.2. The Administrator may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but decisions made by the Administrator based on such profiling do not affect the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Agreement, nor the ability to use the Electronic Services in the Online Store. The use of profiling in the Online Store may result, for example, in granting a discount to a given person, sending them a discount code, reminding them of unfinished purchases, suggesting a Product that may match their interests or preferences, or offering better terms compared to the Online Store’s standard offer. Despite profiling, the individual is free to decide whether they wish to take advantage of the discount or better terms received in this way and make a purchase in the Online Store.
5.3.
Profiling in the Online Store involves the automatic analysis or prediction of a person’s behavior on the Online Store’s website, e.g., by adding a specific Product to the shopping cart, viewing a specific Product page in the Online Store, or by analyzing the user’s previous purchase history in the Online Store. A prerequisite for such profiling is that the Data Controller possesses the individual’s personal data in order to subsequently send them, for example, a discount code.
5.4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning the data subject or similarly significantly affects the data subject.
6. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT
6.1. The right of access, rectification, restriction, erasure, or data portability—the data subject has the right to request from the Controller access to their personal data, its rectification, erasure (“the right to be forgotten”) or restriction of processing, and has the right to object to the processing, as well as the right to data portability. The specific conditions for exercising the rights listed above are set forth in Articles 15–21 of the GDPR.
6.2. The right to withdraw consent at any time – a data subject whose data is processed by the Controller on the basis of consent (pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR) has the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.
6.3. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – a data subject whose personal data is processed by the Controller has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the manner and according to the procedures set forth in the GDPR and Polish law, in particular the Personal Data Protection Act. The supervisory authority in Poland is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
6.4. Right to Object – The data subject has the right to object at any time—on grounds relating to his or her particular situation—to the processing of his or her personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) (public interest or public tasks) or (f) (the controller’s legitimate interest), including profiling based on these provisions. In such a case, the controller may no longer process such personal data unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or grounds related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
6.5.Right to Object to Direct Marketing – If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right at any time to object to the processing of their personal data for such marketing purposes, including profiling, to the extent that the processing is related to such direct marketing.
6.6.

Detailed information about cookies, as well as the history of their development, can be found, among other places, here:
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciasteczko.
7.2.

7.2.6. remarketing, which involves studying the behavioral characteristics of visitors to the Online Store through anonymous analysis of their activities (e.g., repeated visits to specific pages, keywords, etc.) in order to create a profile of them and deliver advertisements tailored to their anticipated interests, even when they visit other websites within the advertising networks of Google Inc. and Facebook Ireland Ltd.
7.3. By default, most web browsers available on the market accept cookies. Everyone can specify the conditions for using cookies through their browser settings. This means that you can, for example, partially restrict (e.g., temporarily) or completely disable the storage of cookies—in the latter case, however, this may affect certain features of the Online Store (for example, it may not be possible to complete the ordering process via the Order Form because products in the shopping cart are not retained during
the subsequent steps of placing an order).
7.4. Your web browser’s cookie settings are important in terms of consenting to the use of cookies by our Online Store—in accordance with the regulations, such consent may also be given through your web browser settings.

7.6. The Administrator may use Google Analytics and Universal Analytics services in the Online Store, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) and the Facebook Pixel service provided by Facebook Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland). These services help the Administrator analyze traffic on the Online Store. The collected data is processed within the framework of the above services in an anonymized manner (this is so-called usage data, which does not allow for the identification of individuals) to generate statistics that assist in the administration of the Online Store. This data is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not contain any identifying characteristics (personal data) of visitors to the Online Store’s website.
