3. What data we process, for what purposes and on what legal basis
3.1. Contact by e‑mail, telephone and contact form
When you write to us, call us or use the contact form, we process the data you provide, most often your name, e‑mail address, telephone number, company name and position, and the content of your message.
- We reply to your enquiry and conduct further correspondence. The legal basis is our legitimate interest, namely communicating with people who contact us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Data submitted through the contact form is processed on the basis of the consent you give when sending it (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to the address given in section 2.
- If your enquiry concerns an offer, an order, service or a complaint, we process the data to take steps prior to entering into a contract and to perform it (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Where you act on behalf of a company, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in contacting its representative (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- We comply with legal obligations, e.g. under tax and accounting law (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
- We may also process data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3.2. Recruitment
When you respond to a job advertisement in the Careers section and send us your application documents (e.g. CV, cover letter):
- we process the data specified in Article 22¹ § 1 of the Polish Labour Code (name, date of birth, contact details, education, professional qualifications, employment history) in order to carry out the recruitment. The legal basis is a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Article 22¹ of the Polish Labour Code) and steps taken prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR);
- other data you provide on your own initiative (e.g. a photo, interests) are processed on the basis of your consent, expressed by sending them (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR);
- if you consent to taking part in future recruitment processes, we also process your data for this purpose on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Please do not send special categories of data, e.g. information about your health, unless required by law.
3.3. Technical data when visiting the website
When the website is displayed, the servers hosting it automatically record technical data: IP address, date and time of the request, address of the page viewed and information about the browser and operating system. We use this data solely to ensure the operation and security of the website and to diagnose errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We do not combine this data with other data or use it to identify visitors.
3.4. YouTube videos
Some pages contain videos from YouTube. A video loads only when you click the play button. Only from that moment does your browser connect to YouTube servers, and Google Ireland Limited may process your data (e.g. IP address) and store cookies in accordance with Google’s privacy policy. If you do not click a video, no data is transferred to YouTube.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The atutnet.com website does not use analytics or advertising tools and does not itself store cookies on your device. Cookies may be stored only by YouTube if you play a video (section 3.4).
The website stores one technical item in your browser’s session storage (sessionStorage): the number of pages opened during the current visit. It is used solely for the “Back” button, contains no data that could identify you, is not sent anywhere and is deleted when you close the browser tab. This storage is strictly necessary for a function you use and, under Article 399 of the Polish Electronic Communications Law, does not require consent.
You can change your cookie and browser storage settings at any time in your browser, including blocking storage or deleting stored data.
5. Recipients of data
Your data may be disclosed only to entities that support us in running our business and process data on our behalf, under contracts and in accordance with our instructions:
- Vercel Inc. (USA), the provider of the infrastructure on which the website runs,
- cyber_Folks S.A., ul. Wierzbięcice 1B, 61‑569 Poznań, Poland, the hosting provider for the website’s content management system and published files,
- providers of e‑mail, IT, accounting and legal services, to the extent necessary to provide these services.
We may also disclose data to public authorities where required by law.
6. Transfers of data outside the European Economic Area
Vercel Inc. is based in the United States, so the technical data described in section 3.3 may be transferred to the USA. Vercel Inc. participates in the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework, covered by a European Commission decision finding an adequate level of data protection (Article 45 GDPR).
7. How long we keep data
- Correspondence and enquiries: until the matter is concluded, and then until the limitation period for any claims expires. Where the correspondence concerns a concluded contract, we also keep it for the period required by tax and accounting law.
- Recruitment: until the end of the recruitment process for which the documents were sent. If you consent to future recruitment processes, for 12 months from sending the documents or until you withdraw your consent, whichever is earlier.
- Technical data (server logs): for the retention period set by the infrastructure provider, in the case of Vercel Inc. up to 30 days.
- Data processed on the basis of consent: until consent is withdrawn.
