  1. How and why we process your personal data

CUSTOMERS OF THE ONLINE STORE

  1. If you are a customer of our online store, we process your personal data in order to perform the contract and for purposes related to the performance of accounting and tax obligations as well as those arising from consumer law.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data is therefore Article 6(1)(b) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as "GDPR"), ("processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract") and Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR ("processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject").

PERSONS ORDERING FABRIC SAMPLES

  1. We invite you to try our fabrics. On the website, you will find special forms allowing you to order samples. By contacting us for this purpose, you provide us with your personal data necessary to deliver the fabric samples to you. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to receive samples.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data, which you provide when ordering fabric samples, is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR ("processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party"). The legitimate interest pursued here is the desire to provide individuals interested in fabric samples before purchasing our products in the online store.

RECIPIENTS OF PURCHASED PRODUCTS AND ORDERED FABRIC SAMPLES

  1. If you are identified as the recipient of products purchased by customers of our online store or ordered fabric samples (sometimes a customer specifies a family member, neighbor, concierge, employee, etc. as the person who will receive the products ordered by them), the processing of your personal data is based on the legal basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, i.e., on the basis of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller ("processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party").
  2. The legitimate interest pursued here is the desire to fulfill the contract with the customer who has indicated you as the recipient of the purchased products or ordered fabric samples. In good faith, we assume that the customer has agreed with you before providing us with your data, or that receiving shipments is part of your job duties. We infer from this that by processing your data in the manner described here, we do not do so for purposes other than those for which our customer obtained your data from you.

CONTACT

  1. By contacting us, you provide us with your personal data, including data contained in the content of correspondence or provided during a telephone conversation. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to establish contact with us.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data, which you provide when contacting us, is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR ("processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party"). The legitimate interest pursued here is contacting customers of our online store and the desire to respond to inquiries made by individuals interested in our products and the operation principles of our store.

NEWSLETTER

  1. If you are a subscriber to our newsletter, we process your personal data to send it to you with your consent. The newsletter may contain paid promotions, commercial offers, industry information, and advertisements.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data for this purpose is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR ("the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes").
  3. You can withdraw your consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal), including by unchecking the appropriate checkbox in your account settings.

SERVICE USERS (OPERATIONAL DATA)

  1. We process data of each user of our service that characterizes their way of using our website (these are so-called operational data). This processing includes the automatic reading of a unique identifier identifying the end of a telecommunications network or IT system from which you are using (i.e., your IP address), as well as the date and time of the server, information about the technical parameters of the software and device you are using (e.g., whether you are browsing our site from a laptop or a phone), as well as the location from which you connect to our server. This information may be used by us for market research purposes and to improve the operation of the website. The data stored in server logs are not associated with specific individuals using the service. Server logs are solely auxiliary material used for administering the site.
  2. The legal basis for processing operational data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR ("processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller"). The legitimate interest pursued here is to enable error diagnostics on the website and improve its quality.

ADMINISTRATOR'S SERVICES MARKETING

  1. With separate consent obtained, we may process your personal data for marketing purposes, including inviting you to participate in organized promotions and sending you other commercial, advertising, or marketing information, as well as inviting you to express your opinion about our store in online review services.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data for these purposes is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR ("the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes"). You can withdraw your consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal), including by unchecking the appropriate checkbox.
  3. In some cases, the legal basis for processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes may be the legitimate interest of the controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – "processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller" and Recital 47 of the GDPR – "The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest"). According to Recital 47 of the GDPR, such a legitimate interest may exist when there is a significant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the controller – for example, when the data subject is a customer of the controller. Remember that you always have the right to object at any time and free of charge to such processing, both initial and further, including profiling, if it is related to direct marketing. After objecting to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes, the controller may no longer process your data for such purposes.
  4. You also have the right to withdraw the consent to receive commercial information at any time and free of charge. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of actions performed on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

CLAIMS HANDLING

  1. The content of correspondence conducted with you and information related to the execution of the agreement may be subject to archiving. You have the right to request the presentation of the history of correspondence you have conducted with us and the history of purchases (if archived), as well as demand its deletion, unless its archiving is justified due to our overriding interests.
  2. The legal basis for processing your personal data by us after contact with us or the performance of the agreement connecting us is our legitimate interest. We may therefore process your personal data to establish, investigate, and defend against claims, ensure our ability to prove in the event of a dispute with you the content of the agreement connecting us and that we have properly executed it, based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR ("processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party").

COOKIES

  1. Like almost all other websites, we use cookies. Cookies are small text information stored on your end device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) that can be read by our IT system.

Cookies allow us to:

The legitimate interest here is to ensure the proper functioning of the service, as well as to monitor and analyze traffic and maintain visitor statistics on the site.
  4. In the situation specified in point 4 above (i.e., in the case of processing your personal data for marketing purposes, i.e., for advertising, market research, and your behaviors and preferences with the aim of improving the quality of our services), the information contained in cookies is processed based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR ("the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes").
  5. Additionally, cookies can be divided into proprietary and third-party cookies.

  7. Importantly, you are not obliged to provide us with information contained in cookies. This can be prevented by deleting cookies and changing cookie settings in your web browser. Resignation from cookies usually concerns only a specific browser – this means that the same actions will have to be taken for each other browser used by you on the same or different device.
  8. You can also use tools allowing for bulk management of cookie settings and browser plugins allowing for control over cookies. Internet browsers also offer the possibility to use the so-called "incognito mode", which allows visiting websites without saving in the browser history information about visited sites and downloaded files.
