3)
configuration data,
-
4)
metadata regarding information exchange,
-
5)
data transferred within a specific Integration, webhook or API call.
-
-
3.
This data is processed for the purpose of:
-
1)
launching and maintaining Integrations,

ensuring communication between Specteron and external services,
-
3)
performing functions requested by the User,

The legal basis for the processing of the data in this respect is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR and, in the scope of processing carried out on behalf of a business customer, also the relevant bases arising from the Controller-processor relationship.
-
5.
The Controller is not responsible for the data processing rules applied by independent external service providers acting as separate controllers. In such cases, the privacy policies and terms of those entities apply.
-
6.
If the User uses Integrations activated by the User, the User is responsible for assessing the appropriateness and lawfulness of linking data between Specteron and the given external service unless separate arrangements of the Parties provide otherwise.
§ 18. Marketing, newsletter and promotional activities
-
1.
The Controller may process personal data for the purposes of marketing its own products and services, sending commercial information, running a newsletter, promotional communications, remarketing, organising marketing campaigns, events, webinars, educational materials or building business relationships.

-
3.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) or (f) GDPR, taking into account the applicable provisions regarding electronic communications, marketing consents and the sending of commercial information.
-
4.
If marketing communication requires consent, granting it is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
-
5.
The Controller may also conduct its own marketing towards current customers or persons remaining in a business relationship with it, if permitted by the applicable provisions and there is an appropriate legal basis.
-
6.
Data processed for marketing purposes is stored until consent is withdrawn, an objection is raised, the purpose of processing ceases or the relationship with the Controller ends, depending on the legal basis and the nature of the activities.
§ 19. Data recipients and processors

-
4.
The current list of recipient categories may be expanded as Specteron develops, the infrastructure changes or the way the Services are provided changes, while maintaining compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
§ 20. Transfers of data outside the European Economic Area
-
1.
In connection with the use of infrastructure providers, payment tools, analytics tools, AI services, communication services or other technological solutions, personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area if this is necessary to carry out the purposes of the processing.
-
2.
Where data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the Controller applies appropriate safeguards required by applicable law, in particular:
-
1)
adequacy decisions,
-
2)
standard contractual clauses,
-
3)
other transfer mechanisms permitted by law.
-
-
3.
The data subject may obtain information about the safeguards applied with respect to transfers of data outside the European Economic Area by contacting the Controller using the details indicated in this Privacy Policy.
-

The Controller seeks to limit transfers of data outside the European Economic Area to cases justified from a functional, business or technical perspective and to apply solutions ensuring the highest possible level of data protection.
§ 21. Data retention period
-
1.
The Controller stores personal data for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the data was collected, unless a longer retention period results from applicable law, security requirements, the need to defend against claims or the pursuit of claims.
-
2.
The retention period depends in particular on the type of relationship with the Controller, the category of data, the purpose of processing, the legal basis and the nature of the Service used.
-
3.
Data related to the Account, Workspace, Subscription, Add-ons, Trial and the use of the Services is generally stored for the duration of the Agreement or the maintenance of the Account and, after its end, for the period necessary for:

Billing, accounting and tax data is stored for the period required by tax and accounting regulations and the rules on the limitation of claims.
-
5.
Data related to contact forms, inquiries, support, complaints and communication is stored for the period necessary to handle the matter and later for the period necessary for archiving, defence against claims or compliance with legal obligations.
-
6.
Data processed on the basis of consent is stored until the consent is withdrawn or until the purpose of processing ceases, unless further processing is permissible on another legal basis.
-
7.
Data processed on the basis of the Controller's legitimate interest is stored until an effective objection is raised or that interest ceases, unless further processing is permissible due to overriding legitimate grounds or the need to establish, pursue or defend claims.
-
8.
Technical data, security logs, diagnostic data and analytical data are stored for the period necessary to ensure security, stability, accountability of operation of the Services, incident detection, error analysis and the development of functionalities.
-
9.
Data contained in User Content, the Knowledge Base, files, integrations and other materials entered into the Service is stored for the period of using the given function or until it is deleted by the User, subject to periods resulting from backups, technical retention, security, legal obligations or separate arrangements of the Parties.
-
10.
After the relevant retention period expires, the data is deleted, anonymised or subjected to other operations limiting the possibility of identifying the person, unless further retention is required or permitted by law.
§ 22. Rights of data subjects
-
1.
The data subject has, within the limits laid down by applicable law, the following rights:
-

the right to rectify personal data,
-
3)
the right to erase personal data,
-
4)
the right to restrict processing,
-
5)
the right to data portability,
-
6)
the right to object to processing,
-
7)
the right to withdraw consent at any time if processing is based on consent,
-
8)
the right to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
-
-
2.
The right to withdraw consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
-
3.
A request concerning the exercise of rights may be sent to the Controller using the contact details indicated in this Privacy Policy.
-
4.
The Controller may ask for additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the person submitting the request if this is necessary for the proper execution of the request and the protection of personal data.
-
5.
The exercise of rights may be subject to limitations resulting from applicable law, in particular where further processing of data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, establish, pursue or defend claims, ensure security or protect the rights of other persons.
-
6.
If the Controller processes personal data solely as a processor acting on behalf of a business customer, the request concerning the data may be forwarded to the relevant controller or carried out in cooperation with that controller, depending on the nature of the relationship and the applicable law.
§ 23. Automated decision-making and profiling
-
1.
The Controller may use automation, classification, analytics, recommendation, semantic search, rule-based mechanisms or AI functions supporting the operation of the Service and the Services.
-
2.
As a rule, the Controller does not make decisions concerning data subjects that are based solely on automated processing and produce legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affect them, unless:
-
1)
this is permitted by applicable law,
-
2)
it is necessary to conclude or perform the Agreement,
-
3)
the data subject has given explicit consent,
and appropriate measures to protect that person's rights and freedoms have been ensured.
-
-
3.
If a specific Specteron function involves profiling or automated support of certain processes, the Controller seeks to ensure that the scope of such processing is adequate, proportionate and consistent with the purpose of the function.
-
4.
AI functions and automations used in Specteron are, as a rule, intended to support processes, generate content, classify, search, organise information or improve the operation of the Service and should not be treated as an independent basis for making decisions with significant effects for natural persons without appropriate human oversight.
-
5.
If the nature of a given function requires providing additional information about the logic of the automated processing, its significance and the envisaged consequences, such information will be made available to an appropriate extent with that function, in the documentation or in a message addressed to the User.
§ 24. Security of personal data
-
1.
The Controller applies appropriate technical and organisational measures aimed at protecting personal data against loss, destruction, unauthorised disclosure, modification, unauthorised access or other unlawful processing.
-
2.
Data protection measures are selected taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, the risk of infringement of the rights or freedoms of data subjects, the state of technical knowledge and the cost of implementation.
-
3.
The Controller may use in particular measures such as:
-
1)
access control to systems and data,
-
2)
encryption of data transmission,
-
3)
user authentication and session management,
-
4)
event monitoring and logging mechanisms,
-
5)
backups and measures ensuring business continuity,
-
6)
limiting the scope of access to data according to roles and need-to-know,
-
7)
procedures for responding to incidents and security breaches.
-
-
4.
Despite the use of appropriate security measures, use of the Internet and digital services is never completely risk-free. The Controller recommends that Users apply their own security measures, including strong passwords, 2FA, up-to-date software and a secure working environment.
-
5.
In the event of finding a personal data breach, the Controller will take actions required by applicable law, including, if necessary, making appropriate notifications and reports.
§ 25. Data of children and minors
-
1.
As a rule, the Specteron Service and Services are not directed to children or persons under 18 years of age, unless the nature of a given function or a separate offer indicates otherwise.
-
2.
The Controller does not intend to knowingly collect the personal data of children without an appropriate legal basis, including, where required by law, without the consent or authorisation of a legal representative.
-
3.
If the Controller receives credible information that the data of a minor has been obtained in breach of the law or without the required basis, the Controller may take appropriate actions, including deleting such data, restricting its processing or requesting additional explanations.
-
4.
Persons who believe that a child or a minor has provided the Controller with personal data unlawfully should contact the Controller using the details indicated in this Privacy Policy.
§ 26. Changes to the Privacy Policy
-
1.

-
1)
a change in the law or the manner of its interpretation,
-
2)
a change in the operation of the Service or the Services,
-
3)
implementation of new functions, technologies, Integrations, analytics tools or AI models,
-

-
3.
The new version of the Privacy Policy applies from the date indicated in its content, subject to the fact that changes resulting solely from a legal obligation, technical matters or changes beneficial to data subjects may apply from the date of publication or another date required by law.
-
4.
In the event of significant changes relating to the scope, purposes or legal bases of data processing, the Controller will take appropriate information measures adequate to the nature of the relationship with the data subjects.
