Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Hgerman collects, uses, and protects personal data processed through this website. For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — GDPR), Hgerman acts as the data controller.

1. What we collect

• Contact information you provide voluntarily — name, email address, message content — when you reach out via email or LinkedIn.
• Technical data automatically collected during your visit, including IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and pages viewed.
• Analytics data via industry-standard tools used to understand site usage and improve our services.

2. How we use it

We process personal data to respond to your inquiries, operate and secure this website, communicate about our services when you have requested it, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal data and we do not use information submitted via this site to train AI models.

3. Legal basis

Where required under GDPR, our processing relies on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps (Art. 6(1)(b)), our legitimate interests in operating and securing our services (Art. 6(1)(f)), and compliance with legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)).

4. Cookies

This site uses only essential cookies required for it to function and, where enabled, analytics cookies to understand visitor behaviour. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Third-party services such as Google Fonts and LinkedIn may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies.

5. Sharing

We share personal data only with trusted service providers who help operate our infrastructure (hosting, analytics, email), and with public authorities where required by law. All processors are bound by appropriate data protection agreements.

6. International transfers

Some of our infrastructure providers operate outside the European Economic Area. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards approved under GDPR.

7. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing activities. You may also lodge a complaint with the Polish Data Protection Authority (UODO, uodo.gov.pl). To exercise any of these rights, contact info@hgerman.pl.

8. Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above, or as required by Polish and EU law. Inquiry communications are typically retained for up to 24 months after the last interaction.

9. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Updates

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be communicated through this page with an updated revision date.
