– regarding personal data of clients and suppliers –
1. Who we are and how to find us
We are DOTLINKERS, and we process your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.
We operate as a group of companies. The details of these companies are as follows:

Both of our companies are so-called joint controllers of your personal data, which means that:

- This Privacy Policy applies to both companies.
You can contact either of them to obtain information or exercise your rights under the GDPR. We have established a common contact point for this purpose — namely, an email at rodo@dotlinkers.pl and a phone number +48 505 184 303.
