5. PROFILING IN THE ONLINE STORE

5.1. The GDPR requires the Controller to provide information concerning automated decision-making, including profiling as referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and – at least in those cases – relevant information about the principles of such processing and its significance and expected consequences for the data subject. Therefore, the Controller provides information regarding possible profiling in this section of the privacy policy.

5.2. The Controller may use profiling in the Online Store for the purpose of direct marketing, but decisions made based on it by the Controller do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a contract or the possibility of using Electronic Services in the Online Store. The effect of using profiling in the Online Store may be, for example, granting a discount, sending a discount code, reminding about unfinished purchases, or proposing a Product that may match the interests or preferences of the person. Despite profiling, the individual freely decides whether they want to take advantage of the received discount or promotional offer and make a purchase in the Online Store.

5.3. Profiling in the Online Store consists of the automatic analysis or forecast of a person’s behavior on the website, e.g. by adding a specific Product to the cart, browsing the page of a specific Product, or by analyzing the previous history of activity in the Online Store. The condition for such profiling is that the Controller possesses the personal data of the person (e.g. email address), so that later they can send, for example, a discount code.

5.4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.
