It contains information about new products, offers, and planned events offered by the ELMIKO Group. The administrator provides the newsletter service only to individuals who have provided their email address, declaring that they want to receive the newsletter. Failure to provide data for this purpose is equivalent to not providing such a service.

7. Direct marketing

The ELMIKO Group conducts direct marketing, understood as the advertisement and promotion of provided services, in the form of mailing and telephone campaigns.

The user receives marketing information if they have consented to receive it via email, SMS, and other means of electronic communication. In such cases, the user’s personal data is used to send such information.

a) companies providing us with database software delivery and maintenance services, suppliers of systems/programs that enable us to achieve Elmiko’s goals and function properly;

b) entities providing hosting services;

c) consulting or service companies that support us from time to time in our daily operations, including, for example, law firms, accounting offices;

For entities in each category, as the Administrator, we transfer only the data that is necessary to achieve the purposes of our cooperation with the given entity.

DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA AUTOMATICALLY (INCLUDING THROUGH PROFILING) IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS?

Your personal data will not be subject to profiling. However, Elmiko may process your personal data in an automated manner. This will not have any legal effects on you or similarly significantly impact your situation.

HOW DO WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA?

We process personal data in accordance with applicable law, particularly the GDPR. We adhere to the following principles when processing your personal data:

  1. Adequacy Principle. We process only the data that is necessary to achieve the given processing purpose; for each process, we have conducted an analysis to ensure compliance with this principle.

  2. Transparency Principle. You should have full knowledge of what happens to your data. This document, in which we strive to provide you with complete information about the rules for processing your personal data, is a manifestation of this principle.

  3. Accuracy Principle. We endeavor to ensure that the personal data we collect and process is up-to-date and accurate.

  4. Integrity and Confidentiality Principle. We use necessary measures to secure the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data. We continuously improve these measures in line with the changing environment and technological advancements. Security measures include physical and technological means to limit access to your data, as well as appropriate measures to prevent data loss.

  5. Accountability Principle. We aim to be accountable for all our actions on personal data so that if you inquire, we can provide you with complete and reliable information regarding what actions we have performed on your data.

1WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?

The data protection regulations grant you several rights that you can exercise at any time. As long as you do not abuse these rights (e.g., by making unreasonable daily requests for information), exercising them will be free of charge and should be easy to implement.

Your rights include:

  1. Right to access your personal data. This means you can request that we export the information we have about you from our databases and send it to you in one of the commonly used formats (e.g., XLSX, DOCX, etc.);

  2. Right to rectify data. If you find that the data we process is incorrect, you have the right to ask us to correct it, and we are obliged to do so. In such cases, we may ask you to provide a document or other proof to support the change;

  3. Right to restrict data processing. If, despite our adherence to the adequacy principle, you believe that we process too broad a range of your personal data for a specific process, you have the right to request that we limit this scope. As long as your request does not conflict with the legal requirements imposed on us, we will comply with your request;

  4. Right to request data deletion. Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” this right allows you to request that we delete all information containing your personal data from our databases and documentation. Remember that we cannot do this if we are legally obliged to process your data (e.g., for tax purposes or to ensure the accountability of our actions). In each case, however, we will delete your personal data to the fullest extent possible, and where this is not possible, we will ensure its pseudonymization (which means that the data cannot be linked to an individual without an appropriate key), so that your data, which we must retain according to the law, will be accessible only to a very limited group of people;

  5. Right to data portability to another data controller. According to GDPR, you can ask us to export the data you have provided to us during all our interactions into a separate file for transfer to another data controller;

  6. Right to withdraw consent. If we process your personal data based on consent, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the legality of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. However, we inform you that your personal data within the scope of the withdrawn consent, i.e., for the purpose to which the consent applied, will no longer be processed for that purpose. Nevertheless, your personal data will continue to be processed to fulfill our legal obligations, including primarily the obligation to account for the correctness of personal data processing, or for purposes based on our legitimate interest.

You can exercise the rights mentioned above by contacting us at the email address rodo@elmiko.pl or by mail to our office address at ul. Jeżewskiego 5c/7, 02-796 Warsaw, with the note: “Personal data.”

For matters related to personal data, you can also write to us if any action or situation you encounter raises concerns about whether it is compliant with the regulations or whether it might infringe on your rights or freedoms. In such cases, we will respond to your questions and concerns and promptly address the issue.

If you believe that we have violated the rules for processing your personal data in any way, you have the right to file a complaint directly with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office. To exercise this right, you should provide a full description of the situation and indicate what action you consider to be infringing on your rights or freedoms. The complaint should be submitted directly to the supervisory authority.

13. Right to Object

We also want to inform you separately that you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. You have the right to object when the processing of your personal data is based on a legitimate interest or for statistical purposes, and the objection is justified by your particular situation.

In such a case, we will continue to process your data for other purposes (different objectives), but not for the purpose for which you have objected. You can exercise your right to object by contacting us via email at rodo@elmiko.pl, or by mail to our address at ul. Jeżewskiego 5c/7, 02-796 Warsaw, with the note: ‘Personal data’.

14. Is providing data obligatory for you?

Your personal data is provided to us voluntarily. There is no legal requirement that obligates you to provide them.

However, if you wish to collaborate with us (for example, to expand your knowledge through training or participate in research), you must provide the necessary data to enable such interaction.

Personal data provided, for instance, for contact purposes, are essential for us to communicate with you. If you do not provide them, our communication with you may either be difficult (for example, if you provide only a phone number but not an email address) or practically impossible (if you provide no contact information at all).

15. Do we transfer your data outside of the EU?

No, we will not transfer your data to a third country or international organization.

ELMIKO Biosignals cooperates solely within the EU territory and abroad in the scope of achieving its objectives. Elmiko participates in conferences, trade fairs, and other events within the scope covered by its activities.
