    5.1 The period of data processing by the Controller depends on the type of service provided and the purpose of the processing. The period of data processing may also result from the legislation when it provides the basis for processing. If the data is processed on the basis of the legitimate interest of the Controller - e.g. for security reasons - the data is processed for a period of time that enables the fulfilment of this interest or until an effective objection to the processing is raised. Where processing is based on consent, data are processed until the consent is withdrawn. When the basis for processing is the necessity to conclude and perform a contract, the data are processed until the contract is terminated.

    5.2 The processing period may be extended if the processing is necessary for the establishment, assertion or defence of possible claims, and thereafter only if and to the extent required by law. After the expiry of the processing period, the data shall be irreversibly deleted or anonymised.

    1. RIGHTS RELATING TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
    2. .

    .
    6.1 The data subject has the right: to access the content of the data and to request rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, the right to data portability and to obtain a copy of the data, to object to the processing of the data,

    as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority dealing with personal data protection.

    6.2 To the extent that the data are processed on the basis of consent, the consent may be withdrawn at any time by contacting the Controller, which shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing before the withdrawal.

    6.3 The data subject shall have the right to object to the processing of data for marketing purposes if the processing is carried out in relation to the legitimate interest of the Controller, and - for reasons related to the particular situation of the data subject - in other cases where the legal basis of the processing is the legitimate interest of the Controller (e.g. in relation to the performance of analytical and statistical purposes).

    6.4 A request for the exercise of data subjects' rights may be made:

    6.4.1. in writing to: Filip Biegun Doradztwo Podatkowe, ul. Jana Kazimierza 64a/613, 01-248 Warszawaa.

    6.6 The application may be made in person or through a proxy (e.g. a family member). For reasons of data security, the Administrator encourages the use of a power of attorney in a form certified by a notary public or an authorised solicitor or barrister, which will significantly speed up the verification of the authenticity of the application.

    6.7 The application should be responded to within one month of receipt. If it is necessary to extend this deadline, the Administrator shall inform the applicant of the reasons for the delay.

    6.8 The response shall be provided by post, unless the request was made by email or an electronic response was requested.

    The aforementioned fee includes administrative costs related to the execution of the request.

    6.9.2. the same person making excessive requests (e.g. extremely frequent) or manifestly unfounded; in such a case the Administrator may request payment of a fee in the amount of PLN 50.

    The aforementioned fee includes the costs of communication and the costs related to taking the requested action.

    6.10 If a decision to impose a fee is disputed, the data subject may lodge a complaint with the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.

    1. Violations of the protection of personal data
    2. .

    PROCEEDINGS IN CASE OF INSPECTION AND CONFIRMATION OF A BREACH 7.1.

    7.1 A personal data breach is a breach of security leading to

    to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, modification, unauthorised disclosure of or unauthorised access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by the Controller.

    7.2 Any incident that may constitute a Data Protection Breach shall be reported immediately to the Controller. Each employee or co-worker of the Controller shall take action to report the respective breach within a maximum of 4 hours

    from the time of observing the situation that may constitute a breach.

    7.3 The Administrator shall, immediately upon receipt of the relevant information, conduct an investigation into any reported situation where a data breach cannot be excluded. The investigation consists of collecting the information necessary to complete the record of infringements and aims to determine, on the basis of this information, whether a breach has occurred (determination of a breach). A finding of a breach occurs when, on the basis of the information gathered, it can be reasonably assumed that a Breach has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur.

    7.4 The actions taken as part of the investigation shall be documented in the form of a memo. The notes and the collected materials, documents, etc. shall be kept for the time necessary to clarify the circumstances of the Infringement, which also includes any actions taken by the Supervisory Body or a court (until final decisions),

    and for another 6 months thereafter.

    7.5 If a Breach is found (irrespective of its final classification), the date and time at which the Breach was found shall be recorded.

    7.6 The Administrator shall assess:

    7.6.1. whether it is likely that the identified Breach results in a risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of individuals,

    7.6.2. whether the Breach is likely to result in a high risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of natural persons.

    7.7 In making the assessment referred to in para. 7.6 of the Procedure, the Administrator shall take into account the circumstances of the Breach, including its severity, scale and possible negative impact on the situation of data subjects, as well as the likelihood of such negative impact. In particular, the Administrator shall take into account:

    7.7.1. the type of Breach, i.e. whether there has been unauthorised disclosure, loss, destruction, modification or unauthorised access - this mainly affects the assessment of the types of possible negative consequences of the Breach;

    7.7.2. the type, level of sensitivity and scale of the data affected by the Breach, i.e. whether the Breach involves special categories of Data - mainly affects the assessment of the possible negative consequences of the Breach;

    7.7.3. whether the Data can be readily linked to an individual - mainly affects the assessment of the likelihood of the risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of individuals;

    7.7.4. the seriousness of the potential consequences for data subjects;

    7.7.5. the special characteristics of the Data Subjects, e.g. vulnerable persons like children or persons with addictions - mainly influences the assessment of the possible negative consequences of the Breach;

    7.7.6. the number of Data Subjects affected by the Breach - mainly affects the assessment of the likelihood of the risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of individuals.

    7.8 Where it is determined that the Breach is unlikely to result in a risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of natural persons, the Controller shall take no action, subject to the need to enter the Breach in the Breach Register.

    7.9 Where it is determined that it is likely that the Breach results in a risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of individuals, the Administrator shall report the Breach to the Supervisory Body. Unless otherwise permitted by the Supervisory Body to report the Breach, the Administrator shall make the notification by sending a scan of the notification to the Supervisory Body's address and the original by registered mail to the Supervisory Body's address. The notification shall be made immediately, but no later than within 72 hours of the discovery of the Breach. If it is not possible to submit the complete information within this timeframe, part of the information should be sent, indicating at the same time the type of information to be completed and the deadline for this completion. If the deadline is missed, a notification should be made, explaining the reasons for missing the deadline.

    7.10. If it is determined that the Breach may cause a high risk of infringement of rights or freedoms of natural persons, the Controller shall make a notification and, in addition, immediately inform the Data Subjects affected by the Breach. The Controller shall inform the Data Subjects of the Breach by e-mail or any other means of communication allowing to provide the information in the shortest possible time. If an exhaustive identification of the Data Subjects affected by the Infringement is not possible, the Administrator shall post the information on its website or communicate it in another way that maximizes the chances of the information reaching the relevant Data Subjects.

    7.11 The notification of the Breach shall be made:

    7.11.1. electronically by means of an appropriate form to be filled in and then attached to the general letter available on the biznes.gov.pl platform, or sent via ePUAP to the electronic sub-box address: /GIODO/ESP box or

    7.11.2. by sending the form as an attachment to the electronic mailbox address: /GIODO/SkrytkaESP.

    Registry of Violations.

    7.12 The Administrator shall maintain a Register of personal data protection violations in electronic form. The Register is a business secret of the Administrator.

    7.13 Each case of Personal Data Protection Breach shall be entered in the Register and described in accordance with the Registry's systematics. In any case of a Breach in which the Controller does not make a notification to the Supervisory Authority or does not inform the Data Subjects affected by the Breach, the reasons for such decision shall be described in detail in the Register.
