3 Purpose and Legal Basis of Data Processing

Why we process your data

IVS processes personal data for the purpose of executing a contract to which the person whose data are processed is a party, or to take actions at the request of the data subject before concluding the contract (Article 6 par. 1 letter b of the GDPR).

In certain situations, IVS may process personal data based on legitimate interests (Article 6 par. 1 letter f of the GDPR), in particular for:

  • 1) Marketing of IVS products and services;
  • 2) Monitoring and improvement of the quality of services provided by IVS, including monitoring of telephone conversations and meetings, carrying out customer satisfaction surveys;
  • 3) If applicable, the conduct of disputable proceedings, as well as proceedings before public authorities and other proceedings, including carrying on enquiry and defence against claims.

Consent-based processing: In all other situations, personal data are processed solely on the basis of the consent granted for the purpose specified in its content (Article 6 par. 1 letter a of the GDPR). In all situations, sensitive personal data are processed solely on the basis of consent (Article 9 par. 2 letter a of the GDPR).

Who may receive your data

Payment processors

Entities that participate in the processes necessary to perform contracts concluded with clients, including banks, credit card operators, electronic and online payment agents.

Consent-based data

The client's personal data, including sensitive data provided on the basis of consent, are processed by IVS for the time necessary to achieve the objectives indicated in point 3, that is, until the contract is concluded. After that period, IVS may process the client's data for a period of time and to the extent specified by law, however, no longer than 10 years. Insensitive data processed on the basis of separate consent shall be kept until the consent is withdrawn.

7 Withdrawal of Consent

8 Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

How to escalate concerns

In any situation, when the client considers that IVS processes personal data contrary to the provisions of the GDPR, the client has the right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority. In Poland, the supervisory authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).

9 Transfer of Personal Data to Countries Outside the EEA

International data flows

IVS transfers personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area:

🇨🇦

Canada

The transfer is necessary for carrying out the contract of the service agency. The Commission decision of 20th December 2001 stated that the regulations in force in Canada ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data.

🌐

Other third countries (including the US)

The transfer of data takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses agreed with the recipient, the content of which has been adopted by the European Commission and ensures the highest standards of personal data protection applied on the market.

The client has the right to obtain a copy of the data transferred by IVS.

10 Obligation to Provide Personal Data

Is providing data mandatory?

Providing personal data is entirely voluntary. However, providing data is a condition for concluding a service contract with IVS or it is necessary to achieve the objectives arising from the legitimate interests of IVS. Failure to provide all the data will prevent conclusion and execution of the indicated contract.
