Processing – all operations that we perform on your personal data. This includes e.g.: collecting, storage, updating, sending correspondence, analysing in order to issue an invoice, and erasure;

GDPR  - 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/E

II. Whose personal data do we collect?

  1. you are our potential or current client or supplier;

  2. you are an entity (or you are providing services to an entity), that we want to advertise or sell our services to;

  3. you are providing services / work for our client or supplier or to an entity, that uses our services or products developed by us (you act on behalf of them e.g. as their employee, associate, representative);

  4. you are interested in actions that we undertake (e.g. as part of contact with media).

Information that we DO NOT collect - children

We do not knowingly solicit personal information of children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information of and from children under the age of 18. If we learn that a child under the age of 18 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

III. When we may process your personal data?

We may process your personal data received directly from you or from other sources. Therefore your personal data may be processed:

  1. If you have provided us with your personal data via various means of communication or via contact forms or registration forms (e.g. by sending us an inquiry / offer, via email, by telephone or via our website, by registering to an event organized by us);

  2. If you sign up for our newsletter or download any content from our website;

  3. In the case of conclusion or performance of a contract, including in cases when your personal data has been provided to us as contact data for the purpose of proper performance of the above contract;

  4. If we have received your personal data from other source (e.g. from an entity that is our contractor / client, during events or from publicly available sources / websites).

V. How long do we process your data?

We process personal data only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, after which it will be deleted, except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose. 

As a rule, personal data processed on the basis of our legitimate interest are processed until the objection to processing or the fulfilment of the purpose for which it has been processed. If you are not our contractor, we store data gathered only in connection with our current communication, depending on the category of each information - for a period of several weeks (some cookies) to the maximum of 3 years (more specific inquires and conversations, which may be important for our future contact).

Data processed on the basis of the consent are processed until its withdrawal or fulfilling the purpose, for which it has been granted.

Data related to the performance of a contract that we have concluded are stored for the duration of the contract and usually for a period of maximum 7 years after its termination, what results from the tax regulations and limitation period of some claims.

The above periods may be extended, as appropriate, in the event of any possible claims and court proceedings - for the duration of these proceedings and their settlement, and also if we are obliged to further processing of such data to meet legal obligations.

VI. Who has access to your personal data?

Your personal data will only be accessed by duly authorized employees or associates of Monterail, who are obliged to maintain them in secrecy and not to use them for purposes other than those for which Monterail obtained such data, and entities which support us in providing services such as email marketing platforms, IT service providers or contact tools (communicators), legal and consulting services providers, insurance providers.

All these persons and entities have access only to the personal data that are necessary to perform specific actions by them.

It is possible that some of the entities that provide us with solutions may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In each case of data transmission outside the EEA, we apply all required safeguards, including standard data protection clauses adopted pursuant to decisions of the European Commission, we conclude data processing agreements that meet the requirements of the GDPR and in the case of data transmission to the US, we verify the participation of our partners in the Privacy Shield program (more: https://www.privacyshield.gov/) and their compliance with other relevant laws. You have right to access the list of such recipients and a copy of the security measures we apply for the transfer of personal data to third countries by contacting us at [email protected].

IX. What are your rights regarding the processing of your personal data by Monterail?

Please note that the instructions given below are only a recommendation, not a requirement.

  1. Access to your personal data
    You may ask us at any time for access to your personal data, in order to check what data about you we process and to obtain detailed information regarding:

    1. whether we are processing your personal data,

    2. for what purpose,

    3. what categories of data we are processing,

    4. who is the recipient of your data,

    5. what is the planned duration of processing (if possible), and if we are not able to say, the criteria for determining that duration,

    6. if the personal data has not been given by you – all available information about the source of the data.

  2. Right to rectify the personal data

    If, in your opinion, information about you is or has become inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to demand that data is rectified or made complete.

  3. Right to erasure of the personal data
    In certain situations, GDPR gives you the “right to be forgotten.” You can invoke this right if we are still processing your personal data, particularly in the following cases:

    1. the personal data is no longer vital for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;

    2. you revoked consent to the processing of personal data and there is no other legal basis for continuing to process it;

    3. you object to the processing of your personal data when there are no overriding, legitimate grounds for processing;

    4. you object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes;

    5. your data is processed in a manner that violates the law;

    6. the law requires that we erase your data.

  4. Right to restriction of processing

    You can demand that we limit processing of your personal data when:

    1. you question the correctness of personal data we are processing – for a period of time that allows us to determine the correctness of that data;

    2. the processing of your personal data violates the law, but you prefer that processing be restricted rather than the data be erased;

    3. we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it for establishing, pursuing, or defending legal claims;

    4. you have objected to the processing of your personal data – only until the dispute has been resolved.

    Effective submission of a request for restriction of processing personal data, will limit the actions taken by us on the data indicated by you and in the scope of particular operations/purposes to necessary minimum - basically only to storage.

  5. Right to data portability

    You have the right to receive your data in a commonly-used format that can be read by a computer, and also to have your data sent to another data controller.

    You may invoke this right, if:

    1. processing is done on the basis of your consent or a contract; and

    2. processing is done in an automated manner.

  6. Right to object

    In certain situations, you have the right to object to some operations we perform on your personal data. You may invoke you right:

    1. when processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) GDPR that is, when processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in Monterail, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation;

    2. when processing of your personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR that is, when processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Monterail or by a third party, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation;

    3. when personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, at any time and to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing;

    4. when we process your personal data for purposes related to scientific or historical studies, or for statistical purposes, on grounds relating to your particular situation.

    Remember, however, that when despite of your objection we conclude that there are important, legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the basis for establishing, pursuing or defending claims, we will continue to process your personal data encompassed by the objection. If you disagree with such an assessment of the situation, you can exercise your right to file a complaint with the relevant public authority (more information below).

  7. Complaints to the relevant public authority

    In connection with our actions as the data controller of your personal data, you have the right to file a complaint to the relevant data protection authority.
