Privacy policy
This document explains how personal data is processed on umelalabs.com under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
Data controller
The controller of your personal data is Vitalii Tsys, a sole trader who runs this website and the partner programme under the UMELA Labs brand.
- Controller
- Vitalii Tsys
- Address
- ul. Hoża 86/410, 00-682 Warszawa, Polska
- NIP
- 5273099589
- REGON
- 527831871
- E-mail for data matters
- umelalabs@gmail.com
We have not appointed a data protection officer: the law does not require us to. For any question about your data, write to the e-mail address above.
What data, why and for how long
- Request form. Data: name, Telegram username or phone number, e-mail, the company’s line of business, your role, team size, approximate recording hours, page language, time of sending and traffic source (the UTM tag of the link you came from, or the website that referred you). Purpose: to contact you, answer your request and prepare the company’s connection to the programme. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or, if you act on behalf of a legal entity, our legitimate interest in business contact with it (Art. 6(1)(f)). Retention: up to 12 months after the last contact if no connection takes place; if it does, for the duration of the cooperation. The request arrives in our team chat on Telegram, and a copy is stored in a table on our server in the European Union. The technical record of its handling is deleted automatically within a day.
- Messages. If you write to us on Telegram or by e-mail, we see your name, username or address and whatever you choose to tell us. The purpose, legal basis and retention are the same as for a request.
- Defence against claims. We may keep request and message data for longer where this is needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). Retention: until such claims become time-barred.
- Visit statistics. Which pages were opened, the referring site, device and browser type, language, country and button clicks. We use Umami on our own server in the European Union: it sets no cookies, does not store IP addresses and builds no visitor profile, so these statistics cannot identify a specific person. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding how the site performs (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Operation and security of the site. To display a page, the server receives your IP address and browser details. We keep no visit log with IP addresses; such details may end up in technical server logs in the event of a failure or an attempted attack and are deleted automatically. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running the site securely (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Data in your browser. The calculator and the request form remember what you enter in your browser’s storage so that your answers are not lost. Form answers reach us only after you press “Send request”. Calculator figures are never sent to the server. Until you close the tab, the site also remembers which link brought you here (the UTM tag or referring website) and sends it with your request, so we know which ad or post worked.
Whether you have to provide data
No, it is voluntary. However, without a name and a contact we cannot answer your request. We receive data only from you: we do not buy databases or collect information about you from other sources. Please do not include other people’s data or information about health, beliefs and the like in your request or messages: we do not need it.
Who we share data with
- The programme’s technology partner. A company based in Germany that operates the app and platform used for recording. We pass on your request data so that the company can be connected: this is what your request is about. The partner processes the data as a separate controller under its own privacy policy. We give you the partner’s name and contact details at first contact, and at any time on request.
- Providers without which the site and communication would not work. Our hosting provider Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany, servers in the European Union): the site, the statistics and the request table run on its servers. Our e-mail provider Google Ireland Limited. The Telegram messenger: requests arrive in our team chat there, and that is where we correspond. They receive data only to the extent needed for their service.
- Public authorities. Only where the law requires it.
Providers’ privacy policies: Hetzner, Google, Telegram, Meta.
We do not sell data, do not pass it to advertising networks and do not use it for mailings you have not agreed to.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
The site, the statistics, the request intake and the table holding copies of requests run on servers in the European Union. Telegram and our e-mail provider may process data outside the European Economic Area. Our e-mail provider relies on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) and on standard contractual clauses. The transfer via Telegram is necessary to carry out your request (Art. 49(1)(b) GDPR). If you do not want your request to pass through Telegram, do not submit the form and write to us by e-mail instead.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can:
- access your data and obtain a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have data erased or its processing restricted;
- receive your data in a portable format or ask us to send it to another controller;
- object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interest;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on it. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, write to the controller’s e-mail address. We will reply without undue delay and within one month at the latest. We may ask you to confirm that the request comes from you.
If you believe your rights have been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, uodo.gov.pl). You can also contact the authority of the EU country where you live or work.
Automated decisions
We make no decisions based solely on automated processing of data and do not carry out profiling.
Data during video recording
This website does not accept or store video. Work is recorded in the technology partner’s app. The partner is the controller of that data and processes it under its own rules, which the participant reads in the app. We do not receive video recordings. We and the partner process data as separate controllers, each responsible for its own part.
How we protect data
The connection to the site is encrypted. Only the controller and people authorised by the controller and bound by confidentiality have access to requests and messages.
Minors
The site is intended for business owners and companies. We do not knowingly collect data from people under 18.
Changes and language versions
We update this policy when the site or the law changes. The current version is always on this page, with the date of the last update at the top. If the language versions differ, the Polish version prevails.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that a website saves in your browser. Without your consent umelalabs.com does not use cookies. On your first visit we ask whether we may turn on advertising analytics. If you decline, the site works the same and the pixel is not loaded.
- Statistics run without cookies (Umami).
- Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel). It is turned on only after you press “Allow”. This is code from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.: it sets cookies (such as _fbp) and sends Meta information about the visit: page address, time, IP address, browser and device data, and the fact that a request was sent. We use it to measure our advertising on Facebook and Instagram and to show it to people who have already visited the site. Meta also processes this data under its own policy and may transfer it outside the EU. Legal basis: your consent.
- Fonts, videos and images load from our own domain, with no third-party services.
- Browser storage. The calculator remembers the figures you enter, and the request form remembers your answers until you send them. This is necessary for features you choose to use, so no consent is required. The data stays in your browser and can be deleted in its settings. In addition, until you close the tab the site remembers the traffic source (the UTM tag or the website you came from) and sends it only together with your request.
You can withdraw your consent at any time: the pixel will then stop loading, and cookies already stored can be deleted in your browser settings. Change your choice
