ENPrivacy and cookie policy
1. Data controller and contact
The controller of your personal data (the Controller) is Global Women Investment, Media & Insurance Group Sp. z o.o., with its registered office in Warsaw, Aleja Jana Pawła II 27, 00-867 Warsaw, Poland, KRS 0000929711, NIP 1133044391, REGON 520306222. The company runs Polish Investment Club (the Club) under the patronage of Polish Women Chamber of Commerce.
You can contact us about personal data matters:
- by email: biuro@polishwomenchamber.pl (please use the subject “Personal data”),
- by post: Aleja Jana Pawła II 27, 00-867 Warsaw, Poland.
We process data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR), the Polish Personal Data Protection Act and the Polish Electronic Communications Law.
2. Using the website
Simply browsing the website does not require you to provide any personal data. We do not run analytics on the website, we do not display ads and we do not profile visitors.
The website infrastructure may process your IP address, request time, page address and browser and operating system information to deliver content, maintain security and diagnose errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Technical data are needed to handle the connection; logs may be kept for as long as necessary to maintain security and investigate incidents, depending on the log type and provider’s policies.
Fonts are loaded from our own server, so the website does not connect to Google's or any other font provider's servers.
3. GDPR information notice: applying to the Club
Application and partner buttons lead to external Google Forms. The form is not embedded here and requires a Google account login. You enter data on Google’s service, not in a form on investmentclub.pl.
The form controller’s notice specifies required data, purposes, legal bases, recipients and application retention periods. Google separately describes account services, cookies and technical processing in the Google privacy policy. Signing in to Google is not marketing consent for the Club.
If you contact the Club organiser directly, we process contact details and message content to handle the enquiry or take steps prior to a contract, as described in section 4. Providing data is voluntary but necessary for a reply. We retain it while handling the matter and afterwards only as required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend claims. Sections 6–7 cover recipients and rights. This website does not make automated decisions producing legal effects or profile visitors.
Clicking a link or submitting an application is not marketing consent. Any marketing consent must be separate, voluntary and withdrawable without affecting prior lawful processing. Do not provide another person’s data without an appropriate basis and informing them about its processing.
4. Email contact
When you email us, we process your email address and the data contained in your message in order to answer your question and conduct correspondence. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, if your question concerns joining the Club, also steps taken prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We keep correspondence for as long as necessary to handle the matter and then for the limitation period for any claims.
5. Club members
We process members' data for the purposes of:
- delivering membership under the Club Rules and the Membership Declaration, including organising meetings, the Consultation Exchange and communication with members (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR),
- issuing invoices and handling settlements, including fees and the Community Contribution (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with tax and accounting laws),
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR),
- promoting members' companies and projects in the Club's and the Chamber's channels and publishing your image, solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time.
We keep data for the duration of membership and then for the limitation period for claims. Accounting records are kept for 5 years from the end of the year in which the tax payment deadline expired.
Your name, company and the information you share at meetings and in the closed Telegram group are visible to other Club members. All members are bound by the confidentiality rule set out in the Club Rules and the Club Code.
6. Data recipients and transfers outside the EEA
We do not sell personal data. To the extent necessary, recipients may include authorised Club staff, hosting, security and email providers, legal and accounting advisers, and legally authorised authorities. External Google Forms and Calendly services provide their own recipient information; merely visiting this website does not submit a form to them.
Any processing outside the EEA depends on the service used and its recipients. We do not attribute a single transfer basis to all providers. Transfers by the controller outside the EEA must meet Chapter V GDPR conditions, such as an applicable adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses, depending on the circumstances. Contact us using section 1 for recipients, processing locations and safeguards relevant to your matter. External providers’ policies are linked in section 9.
7. Your rights
You have the right to:
- access your data and obtain a copy of it (Art. 15 GDPR),
- rectification of your data (Art. 16 GDPR),
- erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR),
- restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
- data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
- object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21 GDPR),
- withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.
To exercise these rights, email biuro@polishwomenchamber.pl. We will respond without undue delay and in any event within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland, uodo.gov.pl.
9. External services
Links to Google Forms (applications and partner enquiries), Calendly (Polish Investment & Capital Academy event registration), Telegram, the Chamber and the Congress open separate services. They are not embedded forms or user sessions on investmentclub.pl. After following a link, the provider may process technical data, cookies and information you supply under its own rules; this may include processing outside the EEA.
Google Forms applications are subject to the PWCC notice displayed in the form (section 3) and the Google privacy policy. Event registration through Calendly is organised by Polish Women Chamber of Commerce; before submitting, review the organiser’s notice and the Calendly privacy notice. The relevant organiser describes booking data, purposes, legal bases and retention. If the information is unclear, ask the organiser before providing data.
10. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the law, our tools or the way the Club operates change. The current version is always available on this page, and the effective date is shown at the top.
