Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how Birega ("we", "us"), operating from Ogrodowa 8, Łódź, Poland, collects and uses personal data when you visit birega.info or contact us directly. Birega is an informational platform covering warehouse automation trends. It is not a data broker and does not sell personal data to third parties.

2. Legal framework

We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR") and the Polish Act of 10 May 2018 on the Protection of Personal Data, which implements GDPR obligations at national level.

3. What data we collect

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. When you browse the site, cookies may collect technical information such as browser type and pages visited, depending on the cookie preferences you set. We do not knowingly collect special categories of data (health, religion, biometric data, etc).

4. Why we collect it

Contact form data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Cookie data, where consented to, helps us understand which content is read and improve the site accordingly. We do not use personal data to build advertising profiles.

5. Legal basis for processing

Contact form data is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), given by checking the privacy consent box before submission. Analytics or preference cookies are processed on the basis of consent given through the cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in operating a functional website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

6. How long we keep data

Contact form messages and associated email addresses are retained only as long as needed to address the inquiry and are then deleted or archived in a manner that limits access. Cookie preference records are typically retained for up to twelve months unless you clear your browser storage sooner.

7. Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. Limited technical processors (such as hosting providers) may process data strictly to keep the site operational, under data processing agreements consistent with GDPR requirements. We do not transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area without appropriate safeguards.

8. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, restrict or object to processing, and request data portability where applicable. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the Urząd Ochrony Danych Osobowych (UODO), if you believe your data has been mishandled.
