PRIVACY

Privacy and cookies policy

This page explains who controls your data, why we process it, which analytics tools we use and what rights you have.

Data controller

The controller of your personal data is Maciej Lis Kancelaria Radcy Prawnego, NIP: 5020124707, Pl. Batorego 3/115, 70-207 Szczecin, Poland.

In this policy, we use the term "Controller" or "we".

Contact

For privacy and data protection matters, contact us at kontakt@lis.legal or by post: Pl. Batorego 3/115, 70-207 Szczecin, Poland.

The consultation form requires only your email address. Other answers and your description are optional. We use them to respond to your enquiry and arrange a call. Form contents, selected answers and the message preview are not sent to Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity. Clarity is not loaded on contact pages and is stopped before the form opens on other pages. The form also works when analytics cookies are rejected and does not store your enquiry in localStorage.

To limit spam and prevent duplicate sending, we store protected hashes of your IP address, email address and enquiry, together with the technical sending status. This state does not contain your enquiry text. Entries are valid for no more than 25 hours after the last operation recorded in them and are removed on the next request or by an hourly cleanup task. When that task runs as scheduled, entries remain in the live form state for no more than 26 hours. This period does not apply to email correspondence, hosting logs or hosting backups, which have separate retention rules. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the form secure and reliable (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
