02. What Data Is Processed?

Visitors can browse the website without creating an account, registering, or providing personal information. The website does not provide contact forms for visitors.

However, certain technical information may be processed automatically when you visit, including:

• your IP address,
• the date and time of your visit,
• information about your browser and device,
• the pages you visit,
• error logs and security-related events.

This information may be processed by the server to keep the website running properly, troubleshoot technical issues, and protect against unauthorized access.

The legal basis for this processing is the controller's legitimate interest in maintaining the security and functionality of the website (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

If you send a message, the website owner may process the personal information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address, name, and message content.

This information is used to handle your inquiry, respond to your message, and discuss potential collaboration where applicable.

The legal basis may be Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR when your inquiry relates to steps taken before entering into a contract, or Article 6(1)(f) when processing is necessary to handle other correspondence.

Providing this information is voluntary, but certain details may be necessary to respond to your inquiry.

04. Cookies and Analytics

The website uses cookies to support language preferences and may use technical cookies for security purposes.

Polylang – Language Preferences

The website uses Polylang to provide content in Polish and English.

Polylang uses a cookie called pll_language to remember your last selected language and help the website display the appropriate language version.

Under the default configuration, this cookie may remain stored for up to one year. Its duration may vary depending on the website settings.

The website may also detect your browser's preferred language to display the appropriate language version.

Cloudflare – Security

Depending on the active Cloudflare security features, technical cookies such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance may be used.

These help protect the website against automated traffic, abuse, and security threats. Their use and duration depend on the Cloudflare services and settings enabled.

Analytics and Advertising

The website does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or other analytics or advertising tools designed to track visitor behavior for marketing purposes.

You can manage, delete, or block cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect language preferences and certain security features.

05. Hosting, Cloudflare, and Data Recipients

The website runs on server infrastructure managed by the website owner. Cloudflare services are used for domain management and website security.

Where website traffic passes through Cloudflare's infrastructure, Cloudflare may process technical visitor information, including IP addresses, HTTP request details, and security-related events.

Personal data may also be processed by hosting and email service providers to the extent necessary to deliver their services.

Depending on the providers and their infrastructure, personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such transfers require appropriate legal grounds and safeguards under the GDPR, such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

For more information, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy .

06. Data Retention

Technical data and any server logs are retained for as long as necessary to maintain security, diagnose errors, and handle incidents, according to the server infrastructure's configuration.

Personal data shared through email correspondence is retained for the time needed to resolve the inquiry and, where justified, for any additional period necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or comply with legal obligations.

Cookie retention periods depend on their purpose and configuration, as described in Section 4.
