Privacy policy

The Privacy Policy outlines the principles of how we process information about you, including personal data and cookies.

1. General Information

This policy applies to the website www.datgrowth.com.

The website operator and data controller is: Jarek Siekierski, 49 Liberty Dr, 6030 Clarkson, WA, Australia.

Contact email for the operator: admin@datgrowth.com

The operator is the controller of your personal data regarding the data you voluntarily provide on the website.

The website uses personal data for the following purposes:

• Operating a newsletter
• Running a comment system
• Hosting a web forum
• Providing online chat support
• Handling inquiries via a contact form
• Fulfilling ordered services
• Presenting offers or information

The website gathers information about users and their behavior in the following ways:

• Through data voluntarily entered in forms, which are stored in the operator’s system.
• By saving cookies (so-called “cookies”) on end devices.

2. Selected Data Protection Methods Used by the Operator

Login and data entry points are secured at the transmission layer (SSL certificate). This means that personal data and login details entered on the site are encrypted on the user’s device and can only be read on the target server.

Personal data stored in the database is encrypted in a way that only the operator with the key can read it, ensuring protection against data theft.

User passwords are stored in a hashed form. The hashing function is one-way and cannot be reversed, which is a modern standard for storing user passwords.

The operator periodically changes their administrative passwords.

To protect data, the operator regularly backs up data.

A key element of data protection is the regular updating of all software used by the operator to process personal data, including regular updates of software components.

3. Hosting

The website is hosted (technically maintained) on servers by: seohost.pl

To ensure technical reliability, the hosting company logs at the server level. This may include:

• Resources identified by URL (addresses of requested resources – pages, files),
• The arrival time of the request,
• The time of response,
• The client’s station name – identified by the HTTP protocol,
• Information about errors that occurred during the HTTP transaction,
• The URL of the page previously visited by the user (referer link) if the transition to the website occurred via a link,
• Information about the user’s browser,
• Information about the IP address,
• Diagnostic information related to the self-service ordering process through forms on the website,
• Information related to handling email directed to and sent by the operator.

4. Your Rights and Additional Information on Data Use

In certain situations, the administrator has the right to transfer your personal data to other recipients if necessary to perform a contract with you or to fulfill obligations of the administrator. This includes:

• The hosting company on a contract basis
• Comment system operators

Your personal data will not be processed longer than necessary for the purposes defined by specific regulations (e.g., accounting). For marketing data, processing will not exceed 3 years.

You have the right to request from the administrator:

• Access to your personal data,
• Rectification,
• Erasure,
• Restriction of processing,
• Data portability.

You have the right to object to processing specified in section 3.2 regarding data processing to fulfill legitimate interests pursued by the administrator, including profiling, though this right may not apply when there are overriding legitimate grounds, rights, and freedoms of the administrator, especially for establishing, asserting, or defending claims.

You have the right to lodge a complaint to the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw.

Providing personal data is voluntary but necessary for the service’s operation.

Automated decision-making, including profiling, may apply for contract fulfillment and direct marketing by the administrator.

Personal data will not be transferred to third countries in the sense of data protection regulations. This means that it will not be sent outside the European Union.

5. Information in Forms

The website collects information provided voluntarily by the user, including personal data, if provided.

The website may save information about connection parameters (time, IP address).

In some cases, the website may save information linking data in the form with the email address of the form-filling user. In such cases, the user’s email address appears within the URL of the page containing the form.

Data provided in the form is processed for purposes resulting from the specific form’s function, such as servicing a support request or business contact, service registration, etc. The form’s context and description clearly indicate its purpose.

6. Administrator Logs

User behavior on the website may be logged. These data are used to administer the website.

7. Important Marketing Techniques

The operator uses statistical analysis of website traffic via Google Analytics (Google Inc., USA). The operator does not transfer personal data to this service operator but only anonymized information. This service uses cookies on the user’s end device. Users can review and edit cookie-derived preferences via: Google Ad Preferences.

The operator applies remarketing techniques to match advertising messages to user behavior on the site, giving the impression of personal tracking. However, no personal data is transferred from the operator to advertisers. Cookies are necessary for this function.

The operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology allows Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA) to know that a registered user is on the website, based on data for which Facebook is the controller. The operator does not share additional personal data with Facebook. This service also relies on cookies on the user’s end device.

The operator employs solutions that analyze user behavior by creating heat maps and recording user actions on the website. These data are anonymized before being sent to the service provider, ensuring no identification of the individual.

The operator uses automated solutions to operate the website for users, such as sending emails after visiting specific subpages, provided the user has consented to receive commercial correspondence.
