Privacy policy

Personal data protection as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

This information applies to the personal data collected by Medcom Sp. z o.o. as the personal data controller, the ways in which the data is used and the rights of natural persons related to collection and use of the data. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact us at info@medcom.com.pl.

To operate its business activity, the Controller collects and uses information which identifies natural persons (also referred to as “the personal data”), which includes information about the customers of Medcom Sp. z o.o.

As we are committed to protect your personal data, we want to inform you how the Controller collects, uses and retains the personal data, what the legal basis for the processing is, and what your rights and our obligations are as regards the processing.

Scope of information

This is to inform you about the forms of use of the personal data (“processing”) in Poland, in respect of natural persons including:

  • the current or potential Customers of the Controller,
  • the statutory representatives, attorneys or agents of customers and other persons whose data are processed for the purposes of issuing or paying for invoices in the course of cooperation with customers.

Categories of personal data

Data provided by the Customers

Our cooperation with the Customer, which may in particular consist of supply of devices manufactured by Medcom Sp. z o. o., cooperation intended to sell and advertise such products and cooperation by intermediaries, may give rise to the processing of the following personal data of the Customer:

  1. name and surname, business name, business address and mailing addresses,
  2. the numbers recorded on the relevant registers (such as the tax ID number (NIP) or the statistical ID number (REGON)),
  3. the personal Number PESEL,
  4. contact details, such as email addresses or phone and facsimile numbers,
  5. the position you hold in your organisation,
  6. the bank account number.

If a contract is to be concluded, provision of the data referred to above is voluntary, but necessary for the purpose of conclusion of the contract and its completion.  Failure to provide the data may lead to incorrect cooperation or may prevent performance of the contract (e.g. if you do not provide your data, payment for an invoice may not be possible).

Data collected from other sources

We may obtain your personal data from publicly available sources such as business registers (business activity register - CEIDG, or the National Court Register - KRS) with the aim of verifying Customer-provided data. The scope of the processed data will then be limited to the data held in the relevant registers available to the public.

We can also collect your personal data from entities that employ you or which you represent. In this case, the scope of the processed data will include the information necessary to perform the contract between the Company and such an entity, e.g. information about termination of your employment with the entity, change of your contact data or change of your position.

We can also obtain your data from internal databases maintained by Medcom Sp. z o. o. This applies to data which enables us to contact individual Customers who have already purchased our devices - which includes requests for repairs.

Legal basis for personal data processing

We cannot process the personal data unless a valid legal basis exists. We therefore process the personal data only if:

  • the processing is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you if you are a party to a contract concluded with the Company or you place an order for the Controller’s devices.
  • the processing is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling our legal obligations, e.g. the obligation to issue an invoice or other documents required by law, or we are expressly required to do so by law (this applies to situations where the Customer’s data is made available at the request of the competent authorities or courts);
  • the processing is necessary for the Company or a third party to pursue legitimate interests, and it does not unduly affect your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Please note that when processing the personal data on this basis, we always strive to balance our legitimate interest and your privacy.

The “legitimate interests” include:

  • conclusion and performance of contracts with Customers who are organisational units with no legal personality or legal entities,
  • establishment or exercise of legal claims by the Company in the course of its business, as well as defence of such claims,
  • verification of Customers in public registers,
  • contacts with Customers, which includes keeping internal registers of Customer to enable the Company to contact them,

Purposes and periods of data processing

We have implemented the appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised, accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, inappropriate use, disclosure of, or access to personal data and any other illegal forms of processing.
