Data entrustment – Google as a processor

Google Tag Manager (GTM)

Technical data: IP address, online identifiers (container loading logs, tag activation condition data)

Managing and activating tags (e.g. GA4, Ads).

Data entrustment – Google as a processor

Google Ads

Online identifiers (e.g. cookie identifiers, device identifiers, IP addresses), conversion data, demographic data, data from advertising campaigns

Displaying ads on the Google advertising network, conversion tracking, remarketing, i.e. displaying ads to users who have interacted with our Website. As part of using Google's advertising services, our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons). As a result, other companies, including Google and advertising partners, may, depending on the consents given by the user, place cookies in the user's browser, read them or use web beacons to collect information about interactions with advertisements and website content. Detailed information about Google's data processing is available here: How Google uses data from sites and apps that use Google services and Questions about ads and your privacy. Users can withdraw their consent to Google's use of cookies or device identifiers in the Google Ads Settings section. Users can also withdraw their consent to the use of cookies by other third-party providers on the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page and control device identifiers in the settings of individual devices.

Data sharing – Google as administrator

Google Signals

Google IDs, demographic data, data from multiple devices (for logged-in Google users)

Cross-device reporting, remarketing, enriching GA4 data with data from Google accounts. When users enable ad personalisation in Google services, Google is able to develop a holistic view of how those users interact with an online service across multiple browsers and devices. Google Signals is session data from websites and apps that is linked to users who are logged into their Google accounts and have ad personalisation enabled. Linking this data enables reporting on user activity across devices, remarketing, and conversion export to Google Ads.

In order for Google to collect such data, the user must give their consent in the ad personalisation settings in their Google account. The Google Signals mechanism compares the data collected by the website with the data that Google has within its own services (e.g. location, browser, device, search history). If this data matches, the user is identified as the same person and included in the reports. This data is anonymised and aggregated, and the reports provided by Google do not allow for the identification of specific individuals. Any user with a Google account can disable ad personalisation in Google Ads Settings.

In addition, Google Signals is only activated on our website if the user consents to the use of cookies for marketing purposes via our consent management tool, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Otherwise, no data is sent to Google via this mechanism.

Data sharing – Google as administrator

 

Users logged into Google can also export all records from Google in the ‘My Activity’ section (including those related to advertisements) using the ‘Download Your Data’ feature provided by Google.

Due to our use of Google tools, your personal data may be transferred to third countries, including the United States. The basis for such transfer is Google LLC's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which has been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection.

 

Google may also transfer data to other countries outside the European Economic Area. In such cases:

The rules for data processing in Google advertising services, where Google acts as a processor, are set out in the Google Ads Data Processing Terms. A list of services covered by these rules can be found at: https://business.safety.google/adsservices/. This document provides for the use of both standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (SCC) and UK SCCs (compliant with the GDPR regulations applicable in the United Kingdom), depending on the needs of the specific data transfer.

Similarly, the Terms of Service between data controllers, applicable when Google acts as a data controller, also include the relevant European Commission SKUs and UK SKUs, depending on the nature of the data transfer in question.

  1. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA

The above sections of the Policy generally indicate the periods for which personal data is stored, where applicable, or the criteria for determining those periods. General information on the rules for determining storage periods is provided below.

Personal data that we process based on your consent we are entitled to process until you withdraw your consent or until the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data is processed, and when the purpose of the processing has been achieved and completed, whichever occurs first.

We will process data that we process on the basis of our legitimate interest until you object (unless we demonstrate that our interests override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms or the grounds for establishing, pursuing or defending claims), or until the processing of your personal data is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data is processed, and when the purpose of processing is achieved and completed, whichever occurs first.

Detailed information on the durability of individual cookies is provided in the tool used on the Website, which allows you to manage your preferences and consents regarding the use of cookies (link available at the bottom of our Website after clicking on the paperclip icon).

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

In connection with the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights, within the limits specified by law and where applicable:

  1. access to their data and rectify, delete or restrict the processing and transfer of their data,
  2. in situations where we process your data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time, but this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal,
  3. object at any time to the processing of personal data based on our legitimate interest, for reasons related to your particular situation,
  4. to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (or the supervisory authority responsible for personal data protection in another country, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement) if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the provisions of the GDPR. A list of competent authorities for Member States can be found here.

You can exercise some of the above rights yourself:

  • You can opt out of receiving commercial information from us (including newsletters) by using the unsubscribe function available in the footer of every commercial message we send, which will be equivalent to withdrawing your consent to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of sending commercial information.
  • You can withdraw your consent to the installation of cookies in connection with the processing of personal data for the purposes specified by the function of such files in the tool that allows you to manage your consent to the installation of cookies, which can be found at the bottom of our Website by clicking on the paperclip icon.

You can exercise your other rights by sending an email to: admin@multichem.pl.

We will make every effort to respond to your request and answer your questions about the processing of your data without delay. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request at the latest. If this period needs to be extended due to the complexity of the request or the number of requests we have received, we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it. 

In the event of reasonable doubts as to the identity of the person making the request, we may request additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the person making the request. Providing such data is not mandatory, but failure to do so will result in the refusal of the request.

We store information about the requests we receive in order to demonstrate compliance with the principle of accountability referred to in the GDPR, and to establish, protect and pursue claims based on our legitimate interest – Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – for a period of 5 years from the date of completion of the request
(i.e. providing a response or ending further correspondence). This period may be extended in the event of ongoing court, administrative or inspection proceedings, as well as in the event of the need to protect against potential claims or pursue claims. In such cases, the data is stored until the proceedings are legally concluded or the claims become time-barred.

  1. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO THIRD COUNTRIES

Notwithstanding the information on the transfer of your personal data to third countries contained in section 4 above, your personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area in connection with our use of the following services:

  • Microsoft 365, including email services, e.g. in connection with your use of the contact form available on the Website. Microsoft declares the location of data at rest depending on the country of the customer's registered office. For entities from the European Union, data is stored in European data centres (including Ireland and the Netherlands). However, in cases where data transfer is required on the part of Microsoft's infrastructure, Microsoft relies on compliance with European law through Microsoft Corporation's participation in the EU-US Data Protection Framework. Microsoft Corporation may also transfer data to entities outside the European Economic Area in connection with the use of those entities' services. When Microsoft Corporation uses the services of entities from countries that are subject to a European Commission decision finding an adequate level of protection in accordance with European data protection legislation, such a decision forms the basis for the transfer of data to a third country. In the case of entities from countries that are not subject to a European Commission decision finding an adequate level of protection, the basis for Microsoft Corporation's transfer of data to a third country is the relevant standard contractual clauses in accordance with the European Commission's decision (‘SCC’). For more information about the SCCs used by Microsoft, click here.
  • Automation of newsletter delivery with GetResponse. In the case of transferring personal data of newsletter subscribers and persons who have consented to receiving commercial information to the provided e-mail address outside the European Economic Area (EEA): a) if the data is transferred to third countries that ensure an adequate level of protection in accordance with the implementing decisions of the European Commission, the transfer is carried out on this basis; b) if the data is transferred to third countries that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection within the meaning of the GDPR, we use standard contractual clauses (SCC). The content of the SCC is available here.
  1. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
