Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how limited personal data is processed when you visit patrykrosa.com or contact the site owner.

The website is informational and does not require user accounts. Depending on how the website is used, the following limited information may be processed:

• Technical and server-log data, such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested page, date and time of the request, referrer information, error data and security-related events.
• Cookie-preference data stored by the website's consent-management tool so that the visitor's selected settings can be remembered and respected.
• Email correspondence, including the sender's email address, message, attachments and any other information voluntarily provided in connection with an enquiry.

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

• Operating, securing and diagnosing the website — based on the controller's legitimate interests in maintaining a reliable and secure website.
• Recording and respecting cookie preferences — for compliance with applicable requirements and the controller's legitimate interests in managing and demonstrating compliance.
• Responding to enquiries — based on the controller's legitimate interests in managing professional correspondence.
• Taking steps before entering into an agreement — where an enquiry concerns possible licensing, an NDA, research collaboration, proof-of-concept integration, technology transfer or another proposed agreement.
• Compliance and protection of legal rights — where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

The website uses a consent-management tool that may store a strictly necessary cookie in order to remember the visitor's cookie preferences.

The website does not currently use advertising, behavioural profiling or analytics cookies. Any optional cookies or similar technologies will be activated only where an appropriate legal basis exists and, where required, after the visitor has provided consent.

Details of the cookies currently used, their purposes and duration, and information about changing cookie preferences are available in the Cookie Policy.

The controller does not sell personal data. Data may be processed by service providers used to operate the website and communicate with visitors, including:

• Hosting and infrastructure service providers.
• Email service providers.
• Consent-management service providers, to the extent necessary to store and respect cookie preferences.
• Professional advisers, courts or public authorities, where disclosure is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where such a transfer takes place, it is carried out using an applicable legal transfer mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards, where required.

• Technical and server-log data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting and reliable website operation.
• Cookie-preference data is retained for the configured cookie lifetime, currently up to one year, or until the preference is changed or the cookie is deleted.
• Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to answer the enquiry and manage any resulting professional relationship, transaction or agreement.
• Relevant information may be retained for a longer period where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Providing personal data by email is voluntary. However, an email address and sufficient message content are necessary if you want the controller to respond to your enquiry.

Where an enquiry concerns a possible agreement, providing the information necessary to evaluate and discuss that agreement may be required in order to take the requested pre-contractual steps.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and request data portability where that right applies.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.

Requests may be sent to contact@patrykrosa.com .

You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Poland, this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).

Personal data is not used for automated decision-making or profiling.

The website contains ordinary links to external websites. When a visitor follows an external link, the destination website processes data under its own privacy and cookie rules.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its service providers or applicable requirements change. The current version is published on this page.
