Processing based on a contract
In the context of exercising contractual rights and fulfilling contractual obligations, the Company processes your personal data for the following purposes: identification of the individual, preparation of an offer, conclusion of a contract, provision of ordered services, notification of possible changes, additional details and instructions for the use of services, resolution of potential technical issues, objections or complaints, billing of services, and other purposes necessary for the performance or conclusion of a contractual relationship between the Company and the individual.
For billing purposes, based on tax regulations, we also collect and process your address in order to issue invoices correctly.
Processing based on law and legitimate interest
On the basis of legitimate interest, we use your personal data to detect and prevent fraudulent use and abuse of services, to ensure stable and secure operation of our systems and services, to implement information security measures, to meet service quality requirements, and to detect technical faults in systems and services.
On the basis of legitimate interest, we also use your personal data for the purposes of potential enforcement, judicial and extrajudicial debt collection.
In accordance with the GDPR, in the event of suspected abuse, the Company may process personal data of individuals to an appropriate and proportionate extent for the purpose of identifying and preventing potential fraud or abuse, and, where appropriate, may also disclose such data to other service providers, business partners, the police, public prosecutor’s office, or other competent authorities. For the purpose of preventing future abuse or fraud, data relating to the history of identified abuses or fraud associated with an individual (including subscription data and, for example, IP addresses) may be retained for up to five years after the termination of the business relationship.
Processing based on consent
Data processing may also be based on your consent, which you have provided to the Company.
Such consent may, for example, relate to notifications about offers, benefits, and improvements to the services provided by the Company.
The purpose of such notifications is to tailor services as closely as possible to your needs and preferences and thereby increase their value to you. Notifications are sent via the channels you selected when giving your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time in the manner defined by this Privacy Policy.
You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time in the same way as it was given or in another manner defined by this Privacy Policy, while the Company reserves the right to identify the client.

The withdrawal or modification of consent applies only to data processed on the basis of your consent. The most recent consent received by the Company is valid. The possibility of withdrawing consent does not constitute a right to withdraw from the contractual relationship with the Company.
Data for which consent has been given are processed, in the absence of withdrawal, for up to two years after the termination of the business relationship.
Restrictions on disclosure of personal data
Where necessary for the performance of certain tasks contributing to our services, we may authorize other companies and individuals. In such cases, the Company may disclose personal data to carefully selected external processors who will enter into a personal data processing agreement or an equivalent binding document with the Company (hereinafter: the “Processing Agreement”). External processors will be provided access to personal data only to the extent required for a specific purpose and may not use such data for any other purposes.
