4. Why DG process your data and what are the legal basis?

We try not to process your data at all, but circumstances may arise when your personal information is required to perform a requested service. In such cases you will be informed about the necessity to provide the data and the ways in which it will be used, thus enabling you to decide whether to provide or refuse to provide your data e.g. in our contact form or if you wish to receive our newsletter.

Making your personal data available may be required when you are interested in requesting performance of a particular service (for example preparation of an offer, receiving information about subscription) or in situations when you are interested in taking part in a process or event (for example participation in a conference). You may then be asked to fill out and send a form/ questionnaire in which you will be clearly advised about what kind of personal data will be collected. In situations when you disclose your personal data of a third party (e.g. of a colleague) in a form/questionnaire, we shall assume you are in possession of an appropriate permission from the person whose data was disclosed.

We have to have a valid reason to use your data. It’s called the “lawful basis for processing”. Sometimes DG might ask your permission to do things, like when you subscrible to an email newsletter. Other times, when you’d reasonably expect us to use your personal information, we don’t ask your permission, but only when:

  • the law says it’s fine to use it, and
  • it fits with the rights you have

We may process your data:

  1. to perform the agreement (art. 6.1.b GDPR) – when we provide you with premium content after registration and logging into respective service, or to organize the event (i.e. conference);
  2. basing on our legitimate interests (art. 6.1.f GDPR) – when we process your data to contact you (deal with your requests, complaints and enquiries) for marketing purposes, to send you newsletter if you will provide us with you e-mail, as well as to research, analyze and improve the quality our services (profiling, data analytics);
  3. basing on your consent (art.6.1.a GDPR) – i.e. in the case of the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, send you marketing offers.

We use your personal data for these types of things:

  • to deliver our services and to provide you with information about them,
  • to deal with your requests, complaints and enquiries,
  • to personalise services and give you things more tailored to your tastes
  • If you don’t want to receive personalised emial you can always turn this option off. Email us: hello@digitalgateways.tech
  • to help us understand what kind of services you might use and sometimes how you might share things with other people
  • to recommend things we think might interest you
  • to research and innovate
  • to contact you about various things

You’re not a guinea-pig here, but knowing how you use our services could lead to the next big technology breakthrough. If you do not like it, you can always change your cookies options. We provide instruction on how you can do it in “Cookies and similar technologies” part of this Privacy Policy.

  • right to data portability (for e.g. transfering your data to another controller),
  • to change your mind and ask us to stop using your data. For e.g, unsubscribing from any marketing emails or turning off personalization,
  • withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before the withdrawal,

In order to do the above, please send an email to the following address: hello@digitalgateways.tech with your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Data protection supervisory authority in Poland is President of Personal Data Protection Office.

Bear in mind, that sometimes we might not be able to help. Like if the law tells us we have to process your personal data, or in cases when you object to processing and we will demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights or freedoms.
