Providing data in the form is voluntary but necessary for us to respond. Without an email address or phone number, we will not be able to contact you.

4. Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use two categories of cookies.

On your first visit, we display a banner allowing you to accept all cookies or limit use to necessary cookies. Analytics tools remain disabled until you give consent.

You can change your choice at any time by clicking the Cookie settings link in the website footer. You may also delete stored cookies or block their storage in your browser settings. Restricting necessary cookies may affect form operation.

5. Analytics tools

After you give consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The tool collects aggregate data about how the website is used. It is not used to identify specific individuals or display advertising. IP addresses are truncated before storage, and event data is retained for no longer than 14 months.

We use Google Consent Mode. This means that Google scripts do not store data on your device until you accept analytics cookies.

You may block Google Analytics independently of our banner by installing the browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Data recipients

Data is accessible only to entities that support our business operations, to the extent necessary to perform their assigned tasks:

• the hosting and email provider whose servers store the website and correspondence,
• Google Ireland Limited, for visitor statistics after consent is given,
• providers of software used to operate the website and forms,
• our accounting office and legal advisers,
• public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

We enter into data processing agreements with entities that process data on our behalf. We do not sell data or disclose it to third parties for marketing purposes.

7. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Form data and correspondence are stored on servers located within the European Union.

Google Analytics data may be transferred to the United States. Such transfers are based on the European Commission adequacy decision under the Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

8. Your rights

In connection with the processing of your data, you have the right to:

• access your data and receive a copy,
• correct inaccurate or incomplete data,
• request deletion where there is no basis for further processing,
• restrict processing,

• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise these rights, email biuro@mercenarywelders.pl. We respond without undue delay and no later than one month after receiving the request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: President of the Personal Data Protection Office, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, Poland.

9. Job candidate data

If you apply for employment with us, we process the data provided in the recruitment form or correspondence, including your full name, contact details, professional experience, certifications and qualifications, and any documents you provide.

We process this data to conduct recruitment for our company under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for data required by employment law and under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, your consent, for additional data you provide on your own initiative.

We retain candidate data for the duration of the applicable recruitment process. If you give separate consent, we may also retain it for future recruitment for no longer than 12 months from the date of application. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing biuro@mercenarywelders.pl.

We do not charge candidates any fees. We hire directly into our own company and do not provide employment placement services for third parties.

10. Automated decision-making

Your data is not used for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

11. Security

The website uses an encrypted connection (SSL certificate). We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including access controls for the administration panel and regular software updates.
