# 8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
I would risk the statement that modern business cannot get along without the services provided by third parties. I also use such services. Part of these services is connected with your personal data processing. Outsourcers which participate in your personal data processing are as follows:

All the aforementioned entities process your personal data based on the concluded agreements on personal data entrusting and guarantee adequate level of personal data protection.
In case such need arises, your data can be made available to a counselor or a lawyer bound by the obligation of professional secrecy. The need may arise from the necessity of using legal advice which requires an access to your personal data.
Your personal data can also be made available to tax offices in the scope necessary for performance of tax – settlement – accounting obligations. In particular, this refers to any declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents where your personal data is present.
Moreover, if such need arises, your personal data can be made available to entities, bodies or institutions authorized to gaining access pursuant to legal regulations, such as police, security, courts, prosecutor office.
Your data is made available to postal courier services in the scope necessary for order delivery. Such companies become independent administrators of your personal data.
What is more, in case of Anonymous Information, access to it is gained by suppliers of tools and plug-ins which collect such Anonymous Information. Suppliers of such tolls are individual administrator of data collected in the tools and can make such data available pursuant to regulations and privacy policies specified by them, which remains out of my control.
# 9: Do I forward your data to third countries or international organizations?
Yes, part of operations of your personal data processing can be connected with its transfer to third countries.
I forward your personal data to third countries in connection with application of external tools which can collect Anonymous Information. I have mentioned it on several occasions in the scope of this policy, including also in the answer to previous question. Suppliers of these tools often use them for storage of the collected information; servers are located globally, in particular in the United States.
# 10: Do I use profiling? Do I make automated decisions based on your personal data?
I do not make any decisions regarding you and based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which would result in legal effects or made any significant impact on you.
Obviously, I use tool which may undertake specific actions depending on information collected within tracking mechanism, but I believe they have not any significant impact on you as they do not diversify your standing as a customer, they do not influence conditions of any agreement you might conclude etc.
By application of certain tools I can, for example, direct personalized adverts to you, based on prior activity you have undertaken within the site or suggest products which might interest you. It is behavioral advertising we are speaking about here. I recommend you to gain deeper knowledge of behavioral advertising, in particular, in the scope of privacy issues. Detailed information with option to manage settings in the scope of behavioral advertising can be found here.
I stress that within tool I use I have access solely to Anonymous Information. This information is stored on servers of suppliers of individual tools and the servers most often are located globally.
# 11: What rights do you have in connection with your personal data processing?
RODO grants you the following potential rights connected with your personal data processing:
- Right to access your data and receive its copy,
- Right to change (correct) your data,
- Right to delete your data (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for its processing, you can demand its deletion),
- Right to limit your data processing (you can demand your personal data processing to be limited solely to its storage or performance actions agreed with you if, in your opinion, I have incorrect data or process the data in unjustified manner),
- Right to raise objection against data processing ( you have the right to object against data processing on the basis of legally grounded interest; you should indicate specific situation which, in your opinion justifies discontinuance of processing of data subject to such objection; I will cease your data processing for such purposes, unless I demonstrate that the basis for data processing are superior against your rights, or that your data is necessary for me to define, lodge or defend any claims),

The rules for execution of the aforementioned rights have been specified in detail in art. 16 – 21 RODO. I recommend making yourself familiar with these provisions. On my part, I think it is necessary to explain to you that the above rights are not absolute and they will not be granted to you in relation to all actions of your personal data processing.
I stress that one of the above rights is granted to you on unlimited basis – if you deem your personal data as having been processed with violation of regulations on personal data processing you have the right to file a complaint to supervisory body (the President of Personal Data Protection Office).

Facebook Connect and other social plug-ins – details
My website uses plug-ins, push-buttons and other social media tool hereinafter referred to as “plug-ins”, made available by social media services such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN, Twitter.
When you display a website having a plug-in of a given social media service, your browser sends information on such visit to an administrator of the social media service. As the plug-in is a part of social media service, the browser sends information about request for uploading th content of a given social media service to the website.
Plug-ins collect certain information on you, such as user ID, visited website, date and time and other information of the Internet browser.
Administrators of social media services use part of this information in order to personalize the conditions for my website displaying. For example, when you visit the site with a push-button ‘I like it”, the administrator of social media service needs information on who you are in order to show you who of your friends have also liked my website.
Information collected by plug-ins can also be used by administrators of social media services for their own purposes, such as improvement of their products, creation of user profiles, targeting adverts. I have no real influence on how information collected by plug-ins is subsequently used by administrators of social media services. Related details can be found in regulations and privacy policies of individual social media services.
Plug-ins of social media services collect and transfer information to administrators of these services even when you are browsing my website without being logged to your account in the social media. Then the browser sends much more limited set of information.
If you logged to a social media service, then the service administrator can directly associate your visit on my website to your profile in a given social media service.
If you do not want social media services to assign the data collected during your visit on my website directly to your profile in a given service, then prior to such visit you should log out from the service. You can also totally disable uploading plug-ins on the site by using special extensions for your browser i.e. locking scripts.
Moreover, using some plug-ins can be connected with publication of specific information in the scope of your social media profiles. For example, information about clicks on “I like it” button can be available on your time axis on Facebook. Of course, if you publish any content in your social media using plug-ins embedded on my website such publication will naturally be visible on your profile.
In the scope of details connected with processing information collected by plug-ins by administrator of services, in particular, in the cope of purpose and scope of data collection and its further processing and use by administrators, as well as in the scope of contact possibility and your rights in this respect and an option of making setting for protection of your privacy, all of these can be found in privacy policies of respective service providers.

While you are playing the recording, YouTube records Cookie files on your device and it receives information that you have played the recording from the level of a specific website, even if you do not have a Google account or if you are not logged in.
