Profiling
On the Website, we carry out profiling - we will profile you if you allow such activities. This profiling involves automatically assessing what products or services you may be interested in, using information about the content you view. In this way, advertisements for products or services displayed as part of the online services used by you will be more tailored to you and your needs.
The profiling we perform does not result in decisions that produce legal effects for you or affect you in a similarly significant way.
Analytical activities
As part of the Website, we perform analytical activities to make it more intuitive and accessible - we will do so if you allow such activities. As part of the analysis, we will take into account the way in which you navigate the Website, for example, how much time you spend on a particular subpage, or where on the Website you click. This allows us to optimize the layout, appearance and content of the Website as we work on its development, in order to improve its functionality.
In addition, if you wish to receive marketing messages or newsletter from us, as well as a bonus digital content, we may analyze the effectiveness of the mailing we have conducted. For example, we can check whether and how it affected activity on our Website. Such activities will help us establish general rules for sending such messages and offering a free bonus in our business activity - for example, in terms of optimal sending hours or determining how to formulate effective content.
