Privacy policy

CIRCLE-T Project informs that the privacy of users and compliance with GDPR regulations is its priority. The following privacy policy outlines how we process collected data, to whom it is disclosed, and how it is secured.

The data controller is the Varsztatovnia Foundation, headquartered at ul. Dzielna 5, Warsaw (KRS 0000740077, NIP: 1182177063).

All individuals whose personal data is in our database have the right to withdraw their consent to data processing at any time. To withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data or to request its deletion, please contact us at: [email protected].

The website may uses cookies to collect usage data for analytical and optimization purposes, as well as for targeting marketing content. These are cookies from services such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel. This site also uses external cookies – we integrate third-party tools and services on the website to improve user experience. These tools include services that allow us to embed multimedia on the website – e.g., we may use YouTube to embed videos and may use services like Spotify or Vimeo for sharing audio or other media content. These tools and services often include cookies from those third parties. CIRCLE-T Project nor Varsztatovnia Foundation is not the data controller for information collected via such cookies and does not have access to it. You can learn more about third-party cookie policies and how to opt out by reviewing the privacy policies of those services. Cookies collected by the website during an anonymous browsing session do not enable direct identification of the user (they do not include name, email address, phone number, or other personal data). Disabling cookies in your browser is possible but may result in limited functionality of our website.

The website also collects usage data such as system information, IP addresses of visitors, and referring or source links. We use this data for diagnostics, technical problem solving, and demographic research related to website usage. Unless required by law, we do not link IP addresses with personal data. This means that user sessions may be tracked via IP addresses, but the user’s identity remains anonymous. Additionally, we generally do not disclose individual usage data linked to specific IP addresses to third parties, but we may do so in very limited circumstances when required by law or when cooperating with consultants assisting in resolving technical issues or conducting security audits of our systems and protocols.

Data may be collected via online registration forms, contact forms, or email communication. All personal data shared with the data controller is provided voluntarily; however, refusal to consent to data provision may result in a refusal to provide services.

Personal data stored in the data controller’s databases is protected in accordance with required security procedures and good IT security practices. Unauthorized persons do not have access to the data we store, and our systems’ security is regularly updated and improved. However, due to the nature of internet communication, no data transmission over the Internet can be completely secure. Despite our commitment to protecting user privacy, we cannot guarantee 100% security of all stored information. Individuals providing data do so at their own risk.

The data controller does not share users’ personal data with third parties. However, we reserve the right to disclose such data in exceptional cases where a legal requirement arises, a court order is issued, or when disclosure is necessary to protect the rights of the project’s consortium, including intellectual property rights.

The data controller may share collected personal data with authorized members of staff when necessary to perform their duties and with event coordinators when necessary to implement events.

We inform you that as part of our online activities we may use the following services which may process collected data:
– Online advertising & marketing analytics services (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads)
– Group mailing services (MailerLite)
– Analytics services (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar)
– Data storage and management services (Google Docs, Google Sheets, Dropbox)
– Video conferencing and online meeting services (Google Meet, Google Classroom)
– Website and system management tools (CMS WordPress)

Please note that due to regular updates and modernization of the IT systems this privacy policy may change. If so, all changes will be reflected on this page. Such changes will not affect our overall commitment to protecting the privacy of our users.
