  • We use remarketing tools, such as Facebook Pixel and Google Ads, to target advertisements to you. This involves the use of cookies from Facebook and Google. 
  • We also use other cookies to ensure you can comfortably use the site. 

If the above information is not sufficient for you, you will find more detailed information below. 

1.Who we are and how to find us 

We are DOTLINKERS, and we process your personal data in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. 

We operate a website located at: https://dotlinkers-itrecruitment.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”). 

We function as a group of companies. The details of these companies are as follows: 

  • DOTLINKERS Limited Liability Company based in Kraków (address: ul. Przemysłowa 12, 30-701 Kraków, Poland) 
  • DOTLINKERS Limited Liability Company Limited Partnership based in Kraków (address: ul. Przemysłowa 12, 30-701 Kraków, Poland) 

Both of our companies are co-administrators of your personal data, which means that:

  • both companies jointly decide how and why your personal data is processed, 
  • this Privacy Policy applies to both companies. 

You can contact either of them to obtain information or exercise your other rights under the GDPR. We have established a common contact point for this purpose – that is, an email address at rodo@dotlinkers.pl and a phone number +48 505 184 303. 

We have decided not to appoint a data protection officer, as it is not mandatory in our case. For any matters related to personal data protection, you can contact us using the contact details provided above. 

2. How and why we process Your personal data 

USERS OF THE SERVICE 

We process data from every user of the Service that characterizes their usage of our website (these are known as operational data, mostly anonymous). This processing includes the automatic reading of a unique identifier marking the end of the telecommunications network or the IT system you are using (i.e., your IP address), as well as the date and time on the server, information about the technical parameters of the software and device you are using (e.g., whether you are browsing our site using a laptop or a phone), and the location from which you connect to our server. This information may be used by us for marketing purposes (more details can be found below), market research, and to improve the functioning of the Service. Data recorded in server logs are not associated with specific individuals using the Service. Server logs serve solely as auxiliary material for administering the site. 

The legal basis for processing operational data is Article 6(1)(f) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), (i.e., processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party). This legitimate interest is to enable error diagnostics in the Service and improve its quality. 

CONTACT 

To make it easier for you to contact us, we have created a dedicated contact form in the Service. 

When you contact us (via the form or using other contact details provided in the Service), you provide us with your personal data, including the data contained in the correspondence, specifically: your email address, phone number, and name. Providing this information is voluntary but necessary to establish contact with us. 

The legal basis for processing your personal data that you provide when contacting us (including the data you enter in the contact form provided in the Service) is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (i.e., processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party). This legitimate interest is the desire to establish contact with individuals interested in our services. 

PURSUING CLAIMS  

The content of the correspondence may be subject to archiving, and we cannot definitively determine when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of the correspondence you have conducted with us (if it has been archived) and to request its deletion, unless the archiving is justified by our overriding interests. 

The legal basis for processing your personal data after the conclusion of contact with us is also our legitimate interest in archiving correspondence for the purpose of ensuring the ability to demonstrate specific facts in the future. We may therefore process your personal data to pursue and defend against claims based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party). 

COOKIES 

In connection with the operation of the Service, we use cookies, but this does not involve the processing of your personal data. 

Like almost all other websites, we use cookies for this purpose. Cookies are small text files stored on your end device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) that can be read by our IT system.

We use cookies based on your consent, except in cases where cookies are necessary for the proper provision of electronic services to you. 

In the situations described in points 1, 2, and 3, the information contained in cookies is processed based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (i.e., processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party). This legitimate interest is to ensure the proper functioning of the Service (in this regard, cookies are essential for proper functioning), as well as to monitor and analyze traffic and maintain statistics on visits to the Service. 

In the situation described in point 4 (i.e., when processing your personal data for marketing purposes, such as advertising, market research, and analyzing your behaviors and preferences for improving the quality of our services), the information contained in cookies is processed based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (i.e., the consent of the data subject), in accordance with Article 18(4) of the Act on Electronic Services. 

During your first visit to the Service, the following information regarding the use of cookies is displayed: 

“DOTLINKERS Limited Liability Company based in Kraków and DOTLINKERS Limited Liability Company Limited Partnership based in Kraków (hereinafter collectively referred to as “DOTLINKERS”) use cookies in connection with the operation of this website, i.e., technology for storing and accessing information on the user’s end device.

First-Party Cookies 

Cookies can be divided into first-party and third-party cookies. Regarding first-party cookies, we use them to improve the functionality of the Service. 

Third-Party Cookies 

Our Service, like most modern websites, utilizes features provided by third parties, which involves the use of third-party cookies. The use of such cookies in our Service is as follows: 

Analytics and statistics 

We use cookies to track Service statistics, such as the number of visitors, the type of operating system and web browser used to browse the Service, the time spent on the Service, visited subpages, etc. 

In this regard, we utilize the following tools: 

– Google Analytics 

The information collected by this tool is completely anonymous and does not allow for your identification (online identifiers, including cookie identifiers, internet protocol addresses, device identifiers, and user identifiers). For this purpose, we use cookies from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) related to the Google Analytics service. The use of Google Analytics services involves implementing a tracking code provided by Google in the code of our website (known as tracking code). This code is based on cookies but may also use other tracking technologies. The Google Analytics service has obtained certification for the independent security standard ISO 27001 (which certifies compliance with the relevant requirements by the systems supporting Google Analytics). Detailed information about Google Analytics can be found at: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/. 

You can prevent the processing of your personal data by Google Analytics by installing a browser add-on that blocks this tool. You can download it, among others, here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. 

Marketing 

We use the following marketing tools: 

  • We have implemented the so-called Facebook Pixel in the code of our Service, which remembers your visits. For this purpose, Facebook cookies are used. As a result, you will see our advertisements on the Facebook platform. To learn about the purpose and scope of personal data collection, further processing, and use by Facebook, as well as your rights and options for changing the relevant privacy settings, please review Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. 

If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you through our Service, you should log out of Facebook before visiting our Service. 

  • We have also implemented the Google Ads tool in the code of our Service to target ads to you when you browse the Internet for some time after visiting our Service. To learn how Google processes data obtained through Google Ads, please review the information available here: https://policies.google.com/. 

You can prevent Google from using advertising cookies by visiting the Google Ads settings page available at this link: https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous?hl=pl&sig=ACi0TCjysCz_2c55-8aTgrGOfFb9p5z7cWGbBgTjMaiQzFAFgyWRfmgc8jnOUTVOmFbxEcXGw6V1VnUXJWrhBZzHzvk7ACCIvEp92RNqXJCqGHtJ2F6iAXM. 

  • We have also implemented the LinkedIn Insight Tag code in the code of our Service to receive campaign reports and obtain information about individuals visiting our Service. The LinkedIn Insight Tag creates a unique LinkedIn cookie in the visitor’s browser and allows the collection of the following data for that cookie: metadata such as IP address, timestamp, and page events (e.g., page views). 

To learn about the purpose and scope of personal data collection, further processing, and use by LinkedIn, as well as your rights and options for changing the relevant privacy settings, please review the information provided by LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. 

  • The Service also contains links to external social media platforms, allowing you to quickly access our pages on those platforms. This includes the following sites:

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPFmNoe2JTs0Ql7UwPAQHHw 

Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/pl-PL/Dragon-Valley-Tech-Talks/ 

These are called social plugins, which activate only after being clicked when your browser connects to the respective platform. At that point, information, including your personal data, is transmitted to that platform. If you click the plugin while logged into that platform, information about your visit to our Service may be shared through your account on that social platform and recorded there. 

When displaying a page containing such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the social media platform administrators (service providers). The content of the plugin is sent directly by the service provider to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration allows service providers to receive information that your browser has displayed our page, even if you do not have a profile with that provider or are not logged in at the time. Such information (along with your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to the server of the respective provider and stored there (some servers are located in the USA). If you are logged into one of the social media platforms, the provider can directly associate your visit to our Service with your profile on that social network. 

To learn about the purpose and scope of personal data collection, further processing, and use by Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Meetup, as well as your rights and options for changing the relevant privacy settings, please review the appropriate privacy policies:
