IV. What personal data do we collect and what is the purpose and legal basis of our activities?

The extent of the data we process depends on the purpose and what information you provide to us, as well as the form of contact you choose and what information is required in connection with our relationship.

Your personal data will be processed for:

1) Marketing of products and services – the basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) “consent” of the GDPR and Article 173 of the Telecommunications Act,

2) to remember your preferences and settings such as IP address, date and time of login – in which case the basis for processing will be Article 6(1)(a) “consent” of the GDPR,

3) Sending recruitment-related offers, newsletters in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) “consent” of the GDPR,

4) the conclusion or performance of a contract – pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) “necessary for the performance of the contract” of the GDPR and Article 22(1) of the Labour Code,

5) the handling of complaints, claims and requests and, as part of this, to provide a response on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR,

6) the performance of contracts, the provision of offers (also via the website), the possible establishment, investigation, enforcement or defence of claims, which are the realisation of the Controller’s legitimate interest (such as debt collection, conducting court and enforcement proceedings) on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR,

7) prevention of fraud and abuse – in order to ensure the security of the Services provided in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The legal basis for the above depends on the context of the communication. If these are general enquiries or conversations, the basis will be our “legitimate interest” as an Controller (in line with the purposes indicated above; Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). On the other hand, if the enquiry is for the purpose of entering into a contract or is related to an already concluded contract other than for the provision of our services (as referred to in Section IV(d) above), the legal basis will be “taking action at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract” or the need to perform the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

By visiting our website, you may consent to our use of cookie technology, which enables our website to function properly, as well as to analyse information about how you use the website.

We process this data in order to improve the quality of our website, to tailor content to visitors’ interests and to continually improve its performance. Some cookies also enable marketing of our products and services on our website.

The legal basis for the use of cookies and similar technologies is your consent, except where their use is necessary for the operation of our website, where we base such use on a legal provision (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) respectively.

If you have not provided us with your data on your own behalf, i.e. you are acting on behalf of another entity, we process your data in order to establish contact in the context of which you are acting on behalf of a third party, and to conclude or perform a contract with that third party or to carry out a joint venture. The basis for the processing of your personal data for this purpose will be our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) – building and maintaining a relationship with the third party on whose behalf you are acting, including entering into and performing relevant contracts with that third party, as well as the intention to build a positive image of the Panda Group.

Notwithstanding the above, your personal data, i.e. primarily your name, email address and telephone number, may be used by us to send you occasional correspondence (e.g. Christmas wishes) or to contact you regarding the promotion of Panda Group products or services. The basis for the processing of your personal data for this purpose will be our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) – the desire to maintain our relationship, to build a positive image of Panda Group and to market Panda Group products or services.

In addition, if we process your Personal Data for the purpose of defending against potential claims, the basis for processing your Personal Data for this purpose will be our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR);

In any case, we only send commercial information to electronic addresses (e-mail/telephone) with your prior consent (legal basis).

Your provision of personal data is voluntary, but necessary in order to respond to your enquiry or for the purpose of correspondence.

In the case of data processing on the basis of consent, we remind you that you may withdraw your previously given consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal. If, on the other hand, your data is processed on the basis of the legitimate interest of the Controller, you have the right to object to such processing.

The personal data you provide is not subject to automated decision-making or profiling.

The personal data you provide will only be processed in the European Economic Area or in a third country ensuring an adequate level of protection, in accordance with the European Commission’s decision currently in force.

If you participate in the recruitment process, we will process your data until the end of the recruitment process, but no longer than for 12 months.

If you have agreed to participate in subsequent recruitment processes then your data will be processed for a further 12 months from the end of the recruitment process (24 months in total).

If you have participated in the recruitment process, the Controller will store the necessary information for a period of 12 months after the end of the initial recruitment in order to assert possible claims in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest of the Controller).

If you are not our contractor or business partner, we only store data collected in connection with your current contact, for a period of a few weeks (some cookies), up to a maximum of 5 years (more detailed queries and conversations that may be relevant to our future contact), depending on the category of the individual information.

If you are our contractors or business partners, we store the data collected exclusively in connection with the performance of the contract for a period of 5 years from the end of the accounting year in which the cooperation ended.
