The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform users visiting the “handelmaterialami.eu” website (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) about the rules adopted by HANDEL MATERIAŁAMI Sp. z o.o. regarding the protection of personal data, emphasizing the company’s commitment to and care for protecting the privacy of those who visit the Website. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully. It applies both when you visit the website and choose to simply browse it and use our services without making a purchase, and when you decide to purchase products.

If you haven't already done so, please also review the Site Terms of Use, as they contain important information about the security measures in place on the site.

Browsing the Website is free and does not require registration, with the exception of certain areas where the user may voluntarily and explicitly provide certain personal information in order to access specific services (e.g., to make purchases, subscribe to the newsletter, submit an inquiry, etc.). In situations where a user intends to provide their personal data to access such services, they will be explicitly informed of this fact in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (…) (“GDPR”) and applicable national laws, including (for example) the purposes and methods of data use by HANDEL MATERIAŁAMI Sp. z o.o., as well as the right to request the deletion or updating of such data at any time.

With regard to data concerning browsing of the Website, please also refer to Section 6 below regarding the profiling tools used on the Website.

Providing personal data is, as a general rule, voluntary.
