Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2024

This Privacy Policy explains how Lihoci ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, stores and protects personal data of visitors to our website, in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR") and the Polish Act of 10 May 2018 on the Protection of Personal Data (Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych).

1. Data Controller

The controller of your personal data is:

• Lihoci
• Zwierzyniecka 48
• 36-192 Kraków, Poland
• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: +48 12 944 07 47

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Lihoci is an initiative supporting the development of neighborhood communities. Our website includes a contact form through which visitors may reach out to us. When you use this form, we collect the following categories of personal data:

• Identification data — such as your name, provided voluntarily so we can address you correctly;
• Contact data — such as your email address and, if provided, your phone number, so we can respond to your inquiry;
• Content of your message — the information you choose to include in the form, necessary to understand and respond to your request;
• Consent record — via the "gdpr_consent" cookie described in Section 5, reflecting your cookie consent choice.

We do not collect any other categories of personal data through this website beyond what is described above.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds under Article 6(1) GDPR:

• Article 6(1)(a) — Consent: where you have given explicit consent, for example regarding cookies and advertising measurement on the confirmation page;
• Article 6(1)(b) — Performance of a request or pre-contractual steps: where processing is necessary to respond to your inquiry submitted through the contact form;
• Article 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interest: where we have a legitimate interest in maintaining correspondence records and ensuring the proper functioning of our communication channels, provided such interest does not override your rights and freedoms.

4. Retention Period and Recipients of Data

Personal data submitted via the contact form is retained only for as long as necessary to handle your inquiry and to maintain a reasonable record of correspondence, and in any case no longer than is required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

The "gdpr_consent" cookie is stored for a period of one (1) year from the moment you make your consent choice, after which it expires and your preference is requested again.

We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Personal data may be shared only with:

• service providers who host our website infrastructure, acting strictly on our instructions;
• advertising measurement providers, but only after you have given consent, and only on the confirmation page of this website, as described in Section 5;
• public authorities, where disclosure is required by Polish or European Union law.

5. Cookies

This website sets only one cookie: "gdpr_consent". This cookie stores your consent choice regarding cookie usage and is retained for one year. We do not use any analytics cookies, tracking scripts, session cookies or CSRF-protection cookies. No third-party tracking tools such as web analytics or social-media tracking pixels are present on this site.

Advertising measurement is activated only after you provide consent, and it operates exclusively on the confirmation page displayed after you submit the contact form. No advertising measurement occurs anywhere else on this website, nor before consent is given.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of access (Article 15) — to obtain confirmation of whether we process your data and to receive a copy of it;
• Right to rectification (Article 16) — to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Right to erasure (Article 17) — to request deletion of your data under certain conditions;
• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18);
• Right to data portability (Article 20);
• Right to object (Article 21), particularly where processing is based on legitimate interest;
• Right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law.
