Privacy policy

Your personal data are necessary for the provision of legal advice and for communications preceding arrangements concerning the conduct of a case. Personal data include, for example, your first name, surname, telephone number, email address and other information that makes it possible to identify a particular person. When you provide me with such data, I will process them for the purpose of performing the agreement, including providing legal advice, conducting court proceedings and making settlements, as well as for protection against possible claims. Detailed information on processing is set out in the information notice below. The following information is provided in order to comply with the GDPR, that is, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 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 (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ EU L 119, 2016, p. 1).

  1. The controller of your personal data is Beata Olejnik, conducting business under the name Kancelaria Radcy Prawnego Beata Olejnik, with its registered office in Smolec at ul. Chłopska 38, 55-080 Smolec, Poland.
  2. You may contact the data controller by email at kancelaria@beataolejnik.pl or kancelaria.beataolejnik@gmail.com, by telephone at 601384959, or in writing at the controller's registered-office address.
  3. The data you provide in connection with an agreement for legal advisory services will be processed in order to enter into and perform that agreement, including, among other things, establishing the facts, formulating legal advice, preparing a pleading and representing you in court and/or administrative proceedings. The processing of your data is necessary for the performance of an agreement to which you are a party (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  4. In addition, your data will be processed so that the controller can comply with obligations arising under tax law. The legal basis for processing is compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with the provisions of the Tax Ordinance Act of 29 August 1997, the Accounting Act of 29 September 1994, the Goods and Services Tax Act of 11 March 2004, the Personal Income Tax Act of 26 July 1991, and other generally applicable legislation).
  5. Where applicable, your data may be processed in order to pursue claims connected with the agreement entered into with you or to defend against such claims. In that case, the legal basis for processing is that processing is necessary for the purposes of the controller's legitimate interest, namely the ability to pursue and defend against claims (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  6. Your personal data being processed will be retained:
    • until claims arising from the agreement for legal advisory services become time-barred, which is generally three years, effective at the end of the calendar year, from the date on which I finished providing services if you are an entrepreneur, or six years, effective at the end of the calendar year, from the date on which I finished providing services if you are not an entrepreneur;
    • until the obligation to retain accounting and tax documents expires, which is generally five years, effective at the end of the calendar year.
  7. Your data may be disclosed to entities processing personal data on the controller's behalf, under an agreement with the controller and solely in accordance with the controller's instructions, for example an accounting firm, hosting company or software provider. The data may also be disclosed to courts, public administrative authorities, mediators and other public and private entities where this is necessary for the proper provision of legal advisory services.
  8. Your data will not be transferred to recipients located outside the European Economic Area unless this is necessary for the proper provision of legal advisory services. In such a case, the legal basis for transferring the data will be that the transfer is necessary for the performance of the agreement for legal advisory services entered into with you.
  9. You have the right to access your data and to request their rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. To the extent that the processing of your personal data is based on the controller's legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular to processing for direct-marketing purposes, including profiling; in that case, the objection is binding on the controller.

    To the extent that your data are processed for the purpose of entering into and performing an agreement, you also have the right to data portability. This means the right to receive from the controller your personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format, which you may then, for example, transmit to another data controller.

    You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for personal-data protection, which in Poland is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office, if you believe that the processing is unlawful.
  10. Providing personal data in connection with entering into an agreement for legal advisory services is voluntary, but is necessary in order to enter into and perform that agreement.
