Privacy and cookie policy

We explain what data we collect, why we need it and what you can do about it.

Data controller

The controller of your personal data is Emtek, ul. Bojemskiego 10A, 42-200 Częstochowa, Poland, VAT ID 949 188 38 34. For matters concerning personal data, write to kartony@emtek-opakowania.pl.

What data we collect

Data you provide yourself in the contact form or in correspondence: your first name or company name, e-mail address or phone number, and the content of your message.

Technical data collected automatically by the server and by cookies: IP address, browser and device type, date and time of the visit, referring page address.

Purpose and legal basis of processing

Replying to your enquiry and preparing a quote — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in conducting business correspondence).

Fulfilling orders and handling settlements — Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR (performance of a contract and our tax and accounting obligations).

Keeping the website secure and working correctly — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Providing your data is voluntary, but without an e-mail address or a phone number we cannot reply to your enquiry.

How long we keep the data

We keep business correspondence for as long as it is conducted and for the period in which related claims may still be pursued.

Data related to order fulfilment and accounting records are kept for 5 years, counted from the end of the calendar year in which the tax obligation arose.

Recipients of the data

Data may be shared with entities that support us technically and organisationally: hosting and e-mail providers, our accounting office, carriers handling delivery, and software vendors. They process the data solely on our instructions, under data processing agreements.

We do not sell data and we do not transfer it outside the European Economic Area, except where this results from using providers covered by the safeguards required by the GDPR.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to rectify, erase or restrict its processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interest.

To exercise these rights, write to kartony@emtek-opakowania.pl.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device. We use them so that the site works correctly and so that we can understand how it is used.

Essential cookies — they provide the basic functions of the site and its security. They require no consent, because without them the site cannot work properly.

Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics 4 (provider: Google Ireland Limited) to count visits and check which pages are useful. The measurement script starts only after you give consent; until then we send no requests to Google. If you withdraw consent, we delete the analytics cookies already stored.

Third-party cookies — the Google map on the contact page loads from Google servers, which may store their own cookies in line with Google's privacy policy. The map starts only after you consent to external cookies or after you click the “Show map” button; until then a tile with our address stands in its place.

You can change the scope of your consent at any time — the “Cookie settings” link sits in the footer of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect how some features of the site work.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the law or the way the site works changes. The current version is always available at this address.
