Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the rules governing how we process information about you, including personal data and cookies.


1. General Information

This policy applies to the website operating at: szalbud.pl

The website operator and the Controller of personal data is:

FIRMA HANDLOWA SZAL-BUD

Mirosław Ługowski

Wąpielsk 92B, 87-337 Wąpielsk, Poland

Contact email address: biuro@szalbud.pl

The Operator is the Controller of any personal data that you voluntarily provide through the Website.

The Website processes personal data for the following purposes:

  • Handling inquiries submitted through contact forms
  • Preparing, packaging, and shipping goods
  • Providing ordered services
  • Presenting offers or other information

The Website collects information about users and their behavior in the following ways:

  • Through data voluntarily entered into forms, which are then stored in the Operator’s systems
  • Through cookies stored on users’ devices

2. Selected Data Protection Measures Used by the Operator

  • Areas where personal data is entered are protected at the transmission layer using SSL certificates. This ensures that personal and login data entered on the website is encrypted on the user's device and can only be read on the target server.
  • User passwords are stored in hashed form. Hashing is a one-way process—passwords cannot be reversed to plain text, which is a modern standard for secure password storage.
  • The Website uses two-factor authentication, providing an additional layer of protection for account access.

3. Hosting

The Website is hosted on servers provided by home.pl.

To ensure technical reliability, the hosting provider may maintain server-level logs, which may include:

  • Requested resources identified by URL
  • Time of the request
  • Time the response was sent
  • Client station name (identified by HTTP protocol)
  • Information on HTTP errors
  • The URL of the page previously visited (referrer), if the user accessed the Website through a link
  • Browser information
  • IP address
  • Diagnostic information related to self-service ordering processes
  • Information related to email handling to and from the Operator

4. Your Rights and Additional Information on Data Use

In certain cases, the Controller may transfer your personal data to other recipients if it is necessary to perform a contract with you or to fulfill the Controller's legal obligations. This includes the following categories of recipients:

  • Hosting providers (data processing agreement)
  • Couriers
  • Postal operators
  • Payment operators
  • Authorized employees and contractors who require access to data to operate the Website
  • Companies providing marketing services to the Controller

Your personal data is processed only for as long as necessary to perform tasks specified in legal regulations (e.g., accounting). Marketing data is not processed for longer than 3 years.

You have the right to request from the Controller:

  • Access to your personal data
  • Rectification of your data
  • Erasure of data
  • Restriction of processing
  • Data portability

You also have the right to object to processing described in section 3.2 when data is processed for the Controller’s legitimate interests, including profiling. The objection cannot be accepted if there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms—particularly for establishing, pursuing, or defending legal claims.

You may lodge a complaint with the President of the Polish Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw.

Providing personal data is voluntary but necessary to use certain Website features.

Automated decision-making, including profiling, may be applied in relation to you for the purpose of performing services under a contract or for the Controller’s direct marketing.

Personal data is not transferred to third countries outside the European Union.


5. Information in Forms

  • The Website collects data voluntarily provided by users, including personal data if entered.
  • The Website may store information about connection parameters (such as time and IP address).
  • In some cases, the Website may save data linking form entries with the user’s email address, meaning the email address may appear within the form URL.
  • Data provided in forms is processed only for the purpose indicated by the specific form (e.g., service request handling, sales contact, service registration). Each form clearly states its purpose.

6. Administrator Logs

User behavior on the Website may be logged and used for Website administration.


7. Important Marketing Techniques

  • The Operator uses Google Analytics (Google Inc., USA) to analyze website traffic. No personal data is transmitted—only anonymized information. The service uses cookies on user devices. Users may review and edit preferences related to Google’s advertising cookies at:
  • https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
  • The Operator uses the Facebook Pixel. This technology informs Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA) that a logged-in Facebook user has visited the Website. The Operator does not provide Facebook with any additional personal data. The service uses cookies on user devices.

8. Information About Cookies

The Website uses cookies.

Cookies are small text files stored on the user's device and used to operate the Website. They typically include the website name, storage duration, and a unique identifier.

Cookies on the user’s device are placed and accessed by the Website Operator.

  • Maintaining user sessions (after logging in), so users do not need to enter credentials on every page
  • Supporting the marketing techniques described above

Two types of cookies are used:

  • Session cookies – temporary, deleted after logging out or closing the browser
  • Persistent cookies – stored until their expiration date or until the user deletes them

Most web browsers allow cookies by default. Users can change browser settings to disable or delete cookies. However, doing so may affect the Website’s functionality.

Cookies may also be used by partners such as:

Google (USA), Facebook (USA), Twitter (USA).
