Why does the Administrator process my data?

Conducting business activity

If we have obtained your personal data in connection with business operations, your personal data will be used for the purposes of sales and purchasing processes. This includes, in particular, receiving contact details from you that will allow us to establish and maintain contact with you in the course of cooperation.

We also use your address and registration data to deliver goods to the place you specify, issue sales documents, or settle our accounts. We also need your personal data if you want to exercise your rights related to our cooperation, e.g., filing a claim or complaint, making use of warranty, or - where applicable - from guarantee.

If you are a sole proprietor or represent a company or organizational unit - we also process your personal data for tax, legal and accounting purposes. We need to enter them in a contract or invoice, as well as to use them in our tax records. However, the processing of your personal data will always be connected with our business activity.
If you are an employee of our client or supplier, we will need your personal data particularly to establish and maintain contact with the entity in which you work - again, for economic purposes only.

Your personal data that we use for purposes related to business cooperation will not be used by us for other purposes without your consent. The exception is the use of your data for marketing purposes, based on our legitimate interest. We want to maintain a relationship with you, so we want to be able to keep you updated on our new offers and promotions. If you do not like it - you can submit an objection at any time, on the terms described herein below.

Operating website

We process your personal data to ensure functionality of our website http://airtrans.com.pl, in accordance with the applicable Website Regulations. We use your personal data in particular to provide you with the opportunity to contact us and to track shipments, as well as to provide you with the forms of our service orders.
Your personal data that we use for the purposes of operating the website will not be used for other purposes without your consent. In particular, we will not process your data for marketing purposes without your express consent.

Management of employment relationship

If you are our employee or contractor, we use your personal data for purposes related to your employment. As your employer or ordering party, we must fulfil a number of obligations - both in terms of the proper management of our cooperation as well as in HR and payroll matters. As an employer, we also have certain rights - we use your personal data to, e.g., establish contact with you or control the results of your work.

We also need your personal data to provide you with access to benefits and rights.
We also use your personal data to provide you with benefits and support in the event of your illness or maternity, as well as in the event of an accident at work. Again, the purpose of processing your personal data is to properly handle our employment or contract relationship and to protect your vital interests.

We may also use your personal data to provide information about you to third parties, e.g. to a bank where you apply for credit, to an insurer or to a public authority which will contact us with such an request. In these situations, your personal data will be disclosed for your benefit, upon your request or subject to our legal obligations.
Your personal data that we use for purposes related to an employment or contract relationship will not be used for any other purposes without your consent. In particular, we will not process your data for marketing purposes without your express consent.

Recruitment

If you apply for employment with us, we use your personal data solely for the purpose of conducting the recruitment process. We use your data to get acquainted with your education and professional experience, assess your suitability for work with us, and finally - to contact you and invite you to an interview.

If, after completing the recruitment process, we decide to employ you, the personal data provided in the course of recruitment may be used for future employment purposes so that you will not have to provide them again. Most often, the personal data you provide in your CV and cover letter are stored in your employee file.
Your personal data that we use for recruitment purposes will not be used for marketing purposes without your consent.

Establishing contact

If you send us an e-mail or make contact with us via the contact form on the website https://airtrans.com.pl, we use your personal data to correspond with you and answer your questions, inquiries or message.

If you contact us for commercial purposes (e.g. to order goods or use our services), your personal data may then be used to present you a commercial offer - but only to the extent requested and with reference to your inquiry.

Notwithstanding the above, even if we communicate for commercial purposes, we will not use your personal data without your consent for marketing purposes in connection with offers other than the ones you explicitly asked for when contacting us.

Enforcement and defense of rights

It may happen that we will need to use your personal data to enforce our rights, also in court. We hope that this will not happen, but if any dispute arises between us, we may need to use your personal information in the course of court, arbitration or mediation proceedings.

In that case, we will use your personal information only to the extent necessary and in connection with the ongoing discussions or proceedings. We may use your personal information to call you to witness a case or, if you are our customer or supplier, to be a party in the case.

Your personal data that we use for the purpose of pursuing or defending a claim will not be used by us for any other purpose without your consent. In particular, we will not process your data for marketing purposes without your express consent.

Marketing purposes

While operating our marketing database, we process your personal for marketing purposes, i.e. to promote and offer our products and services. As part of our marketing, we want to be able to present you our new range of products or services as well as our new commercial or business solutions.

We process your personal data for marketing purposes with reference to the so-called legitimate interest of the personal data controller (Article 6.1.(f) of the General Data Protection Directive (GDPR)). Regular feedback on our activity is necessary and desirable for us to keep our standing customers and acquire new ones. Thus, we have a legitimate interest in maintaining our marketing base and sending information to customers. The provision and processing of your personal data in this respect is entirely voluntary and does not result from any legal obligation. You have the right to object to the processing of your data in this regard at any time.

In some cases we would like to publish your image on our social networks, including Facebook. The purpose of publishing your image is to build our company's reputation as a trusted entrepreneur who cares about clients. When publishing your image, however, we try to minimize your data that are published, and always publish it only on the basis of your consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent in this regard at any time.

On what basis does the Administrator process my personal data?

The Administrator assures that your personal data will be processed only in accordance with the law. This means that we will always process your personal data on a specific legal basis that we are able to indicate. The basis for processing your personal data may vary depending on the purpose for which we process your personal data.

Conducting business activity

If we have obtained your personal data in connection with business activity, we will first process your data in order to fulfil the cooperation agreement between us and to enable you to exercise your warranty or guarantee rights.

Processing will therefore be based on the need to use your personal data to carry out a transaction. If the party to the agreement is an entity other than you (e.g. we have obtained your data from your employer or you act as a representative of a company or organization unit in your communication), the processing of your personal data will be based on the use of your data for purposes resulting from legitimate interests pursued by us and by this entity (third party), e.g. to ensure the proper performance of the delivery or service.

Using the website

Cookies

Data concerning your use of the website, which we obtain through the so-called cookies, are processed on the basis of your consent, expressed in accordance with Article 173 of the Telecommunications Law.

The so-called "cookies" are IT data, in particular text files, which are stored in the final device of Service User and are intended to use the Service website. Cookies usually contain the name of the website from which they come, the time of storing them on the terminal equipment and a unique number.

We use "cookies" to optimize the use and customize our Web pages, create statistics on their visits or to save site login information (so that you will not have to re-enter login and password for a certain period of time).

Processing of your personal data in this respect is carried out for the purpose of our legitimate interest, i.e. subject to Article 6.1.(f) GDPR and on the basis of your consent given in an online form for our collection and use of cookies.

Messages in social networks

If you contact us via social networks, we process your personal data on the basis of your consent given in connection with your enquiry and contact.

In both cases we need to process your personal data in order to contact you and to provide you with a satisfactory response or solution to your problem.

Handling of the employment relationship

All personal data processed by the Administrator in connection with the already established cooperation on the basis of an employment or commission contract are used in order to meet employer obligations. The use of such data is necessary to fulfill our obligations under the Polish law regulating a given form of employment or cooperation, as well as to enable us to exercise our rights as an employer.

Sometimes, your sensitive (health) data will also be used as necessary to comply with obligations imposed under social security laws or preventive healthcare or occupational medicine regulations.

Thus processing of your personal data is required in order to properly perform the employment contract legally binding us as the employer and you as the employee and to fulfil all our legal obligations under labor or civil law. In terms of your health data, the basis for their processing is the requirement for their use in order to fulfil obligations and exercise special rights by the controller or the concerned party with respect to labor law, social security and social protection, as well as for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, assessment of the employee's ability to work, medical diagnosis, provision of health care or social security.

Recruitment

In the recruitment process, we try to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of recruitment, wherever possible, by asking you to include consent in your CV or cover letter. This avoids any doubt as to whether we have the right to use all personal data you have disclosed in the submitted documents or in the recruitment process.
However, even if you do not agree to the processing of your personal data for recruitment purposes (e.g. you send us your CV without the necessary consent), we will still be able to process your personal data to the extent necessary for the recruitment process.

Therefore, the basis for processing your personal data will be your consent, and in the absence thereof - the necessity to use your data to undertake recruitment activities aimed at concluding an employment or commission contract.

In this case, the basis for processing your personal data will therefore be the consent given by you, or the need to use your personal data to take action in accordance with your request, prior to the conclusion of the contract. If your personal data are processed on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, which, however, does not deprive the lawfulness of personal data processing in the period in which your consent was in force.

Your consent in this respect is voluntary, but necessary to carry out the recruitment process. Without your consent to process your data in this regard, we will not be able to contact you and carry out the recruitment process.

Establishing contact

If you contact us via e-mail, telephone or social networks, we can process your personal data:

  • based on your consent - if you expressed it in the course of completing the contact form;
  • because it is necessary to answer your request – either to reply to your enquiry, conclude a contract, clear doubts, etc. This applies, for example, to an e-mail contact, where the processing of your personal data is necessary for us to take action, at your request, to meet your inquiry or message.

In this case, the processing of your personal data will be based on your consent or the necessity to use your personal data to answer your request, prior to the conclusion of the Agreement. If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, but this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing of personal data during the period in which your consent was in force.

Your consent in this respect is voluntary, but it is necessary to contact you. We will not be able to contact you without your consent to process your data in this respect.

Enforcement and defense of rights

If we use your data in connection with the enforcement or defense of claims, the processing of your personal data will be based on the legitimate legal interest of the Administrator as the controller of personal data. The use of your data will be necessary to protect our interests, e.g. in the field of debt collection, defense against unjustified allegations, etc.

Marketing purposes

We will process your personal data for marketing purposes in reference to the so-called legitimate interest of the personal data administrator (Article 6.1.(f) GDPR), entitling us to send you commercial and marketing messages. As a part of our marketing activities, we will provide you with up-to-date information about our new range of products or services, as well as new commercial or business solutions used in our operations.

However, we sometimes use your data (including your image) to advertise our actions and to show you that we have met your expectations as a customer. For this purpose, we publish specific messages on our social network. In this case, your consent will always be the basis for processing your personal data.

Providing and processing your personal data in this respect is entirely voluntary and does not result from a legal obligation. You have the right to object to the processing of your data in this regard at any time.

How long does the Administrator keep my personal data?

  • if you are our customer or supplier or act on their behalf - we process your personal data for the duration of the contract or the period of cooperation After this period, we will process your data for the purposes of accountability for our activities within the scope of personal data protection, as well as for the period of limitation of claims related to cooperation under the relevant provisions of law, but not longer than for a period of ten (10) years.
