PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING POLICY

Pursuant to 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 and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, hereinafter referred to as the “Regulation”, we inform you that:

3. Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of your personal data: identification data, address data, and contact data, including payment card and cryptocurrency wallet numbers used to carry out the process related to operations conducted through the Platform located at www.rpms.pl hereinafter referred to as the “Platform”. 

In terms of social media communication, we process data provided by the User within the portal.

The Company processes both personal data and certain types of information that cannot be clearly classified as personal data, as they do not allow for clear identification of the User. This kind of information allows us to keep statistics and adapt the Platform to the User’s preferences. We analyze the User’s activities on the Platform, e.g. the order in which the page is viewed, the device from which the User logs in. 

When using the Platform, the User leaves his/her IP address on the server. It is not possible for the owner of the Platform to identify a specific person on the basis of knowing only the IP address, and the Company does not take such actions.

When it is necessary to provide the Platform to Users, or it is a legitimate interest of the Company or third parties (which is, for example, to ensure the security of IT resources or the safety of other Users), the Company is authorized to obtain and record data transmitted to the server by Web browsers or Users’ devices. Such data include: IP address, parameters of software 

and hardware used by the User, pages viewed, mobile device identification number, and other data on devices and use of systems. However, the collection of the above information usually does not identify the User.
