1. Who is responsible for your data
Personal data processed on informacjapolonijna.com (the "Site") is controlled by Pixelmesh, based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, USA. Contact: info@informacjapolonijna.com.
2. What data we collect
Data you provide:
- when creating an account – your name, email address, phone number and password (stored only in encrypted form);
- when adding or claiming a listing – business name, address, phone, email, website, logo, description and categories;
- when using the contact form or reporting a listing – your name, email, phone and the content of your message.
Data collected automatically: IP address, browser and device type, the pages of the Site you visit, date and time of the visit, and cookies (see section 6).
Location: only when you click "Locate me", your browser – with your permission – sends us your approximate coordinates, which we pass to a Google service to determine your city and show businesses nearby. We do not store the coordinates.
3. Why we process data
- running the directory and displaying business listings;
- managing user accounts, adding and claiming listings, and verifying them;
- handling paid plans and payments;
- responding to messages and reports;
- keeping the Site secure and preventing abuse and automated submissions;
- usage statistics and improving the Site;
- meeting legal obligations, including accounting requirements.
4. Business data in the directory
The directory is public by nature: a business's name, address, phone, email, website and description are visible to every visitor. This data comes from the businesses themselves, from publicly available sources and from users of the Site. If your data appears in the directory, you can claim the listing, or ask for it to be corrected or removed by writing to the address in section 1.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell personal data. We use external service providers only as needed to run the Site:
- Stripe – payment processing for paid plans; you enter card details directly with Stripe and they never reach our servers;
- Google Maps / Google Geocoding – displaying maps and determining locations; subject to Google's privacy policy;
- Cloudflare Turnstile – protecting forms against automated submissions;
- our hosting and email providers.
Data may also be disclosed where required by law or by a competent authority.
6. Cookies
The Site uses cookies:
- necessary – keeping you logged in, securing forms, remembering your chosen language and your cookie decision;
- third-party – set by Google when maps are displayed.
On your first visit you can choose "Accept all" or "Necessary only". You can also delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings; some features of the Site may then not work correctly.
7. How long we keep data
- account data – until the account is deleted;
- business listings – for as long as they are in the directory (outdated listings may be archived);
- payment records – for the period required by tax and accounting law;
- contact form messages – for as long as needed to handle them;
- server logs – for a limited time, for security purposes.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including the GDPR for people in the European Economic Area and state privacy laws in the USA), you may have the right to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, and receive a copy of it. To exercise these rights, write to info@informacjapolonijna.com. You can also update your account and listing details at any time from your dashboard.
9. Security
Connections to the Site are encrypted (HTTPS), passwords are stored in encrypted form, and access to data is limited to the people who need it to run the Site.
10. Children
The Site is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
11. International transfers
The Site runs on servers in the United States. If you use it from outside the USA, you acknowledge that your data will be processed in the USA.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy. The current version, with the date of its last change, is always available on this page.
