# 1: Who is the controller of your personal data?
The administrator of your personal data is Little Dragon Żaneta Ogonowska Ul. Strzelców 1a/10 81-586 Gdynia NIP: 742-218-98-51
# 2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?
As part of the implementation of data protection in my organization, a decision was made not to appoint a Data Protection Officer due to the fact that it is not mandatory in my situation. You can contact office@littledragon.com.pl by e-mail on matters related to data protection and privacy more broadly .
# 3: What information do I have about you?
Depending on the purpose, I may process the following information about you:
- name,
- residential address,
- business address,
- tax ID number,
- email address,
- phone number,
- data contained in e-mail correspondence,
- details of orders placed in the online store,
- bank account number,
- IP address,
- approximate location,
- image (profile photo),
- Statistics related to newsletters received,
- favorite mail client,
- interest in specific topics,
- content of comments / opinions added to the site.
We have described the scope of the processed data precisely for each processing purpose. Information in this regard is provided later in this policy.
Moreover, I use tools that collect a range of information about you related to your use of my website. This includes, in particular, the following information:

- Your gender,
- Your approximate location limited to localities.
- Your interests determined by your online activity.
This information is referred to hereafter in this privacy policy as ” Anonymous Information“.
Anonymous information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal information, because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal information I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed to the nature of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.
Because Anonymous Information is collected by third-party tools I use (the tools are discussed in detail later in this privacy policy), Anonymous Information is also processed by tool providers under the terms of their terms of use and privacy policies.
Anonymous information is also used by providers of particular tools to provide and improve services, manage services, develop new services, measure the effectiveness of advertising, protect against fraud and abuse, and personalize content and ads displayed on particular services, sites and applications.
# 4: How did I get your personal information?
In most cases, you pass them on yourself. This happens when:
- You register a user account,
- placing an order,
- You send a complaint or withdraw from the contract,
- you sign up for the newsletter,
- add comment/feedback,
- You contact via email,
- You observe social media profiles or interact with content published on social media.
In addition, some information about you may be automatically collected by the tools I use:
- The mechanism of the site and the newsletter system collect your IP address,
- The newsletter system mechanism collects information about your activity with regard to the content sent to you within the newsletter, such as opening messages, clicking on links, etc,
- Third-party tools that use cookies (the tools are described in detail later in this privacy policy) collect Anonymous Information related to your activities on the Site.
# 5: Is your data safe?
I take care of the security of your personal information. I analyzed the risks involved in the various processes of processing your data, and then implemented appropriate security and data protection measures. I constantly monitor the state of the technical infrastructure, train staff, look at the procedures in place, and make the necessary improvements. If you have any questions about your personal information, I am at your service at office@littledragon.com.pl.

User account – details
When you create a user account, you will need to provide the necessary information for the account: email address and password. Provision of data is voluntary, but necessary to create an account.
Within the framework of editing your account data, you can provide your further data, in particular, data that can be used for placing orders, such as your name, address of residence or place of business, Tax ID number, telephone number.
If you create an account through integration with a social network account, based on your prior authorization, I will gain access to certain data collected within the social network account (name, email address, profile picture).
In addition, my system used for user accounts records your IP number, which you used when registering a user account.
You can modify the information about you provided in connection with your user account registration at any time. However, in a situation where you have set up an account using an integration with a social network account, the data retrieved from the social network cannot be modified.
The data provided by you in connection with the creation of an account is processed for the purpose of providing you with the electronic service of providing you with a user account. This service is provided on the basis of a contract concluded under the terms and conditions described in the regulations, which means that in this regard the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 paragraph. 1(b) RODO.
The data will be kept for the duration of the operation of the user account, and then until the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims related to the user account service.
Orders – details
When placing an order, you must provide the data necessary for its processing: e-mail address, name, invoice details.
In addition, the system used to handle the order process records your IP number, which you used when placing the order.
Each order is saved in the database, which means that your personal information assigned to the order is also accompanied by order information such as the date and time of the order, the order ID number, the transaction ID, the subject of the order, the price, the method and date of payment, the date and time of downloading the purchased digital content.
Data collected in connection with the order, are processed for the purpose:
- Performance of a contract concluded by placing an order (Article 6(1)(b) of the DPA),
- to issue an invoice (Article 6(1)(c) of the RODO in connection with the relevant regulations governing the issuance of invoices),
- inclusion of the invoice in the accounting records and fulfillment of other tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the DPA in connection with the relevant regulations governing tax and accounting obligations),
- inclusion in the archive for the possible need to defend, establish or assert claims (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).
Order data is processed for the time necessary for the execution of the order, and then until the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims under the contract.
Remember also that I am required to keep accounting records, which may contain your personal information, for the period required by law.
You can access your order data at any time. However, rectification of this data is not possible, except for a note or corrective invoice if it was issued in error. I am informing you that until the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims under the contract, I see my overriding interest in storing order data.
Recovering an abandoned shopping cart – details
If you start the ordering process but do not complete it, my system will note this fact, activating the abandoned cart recovery mechanism. The mechanism is that over a period of time I will send you messages reminding you to finalize your order. I am relying in this regard on my legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO. This business involves marketing its own products and services. You can object to receiving messages as part of the abandoned cart recovery mechanism by clicking on the relevant link contained in the message you received.
Complaints and withdrawals – details
If you make a complaint or withdraw from the contract, you will provide personal information contained in the body of the complaint or withdrawal statement, which includes your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address, bank account number. Provision of data is voluntary, but necessary to make a complaint or withdraw from the contract.
Data provided in connection with the filing of a complaint or withdrawal from the contract is used for the purpose of the complaint procedure or withdrawal procedure, and then for archival purposes, which is a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).
The data will be processed for the time necessary to carry out the complaint procedure or the withdrawal procedure. Claim documents will be kept until the expiration of warranty rights. Statements of withdrawal will be kept with accounting records for the period required by law.
Newsletter – details
When you sign up for the newsletter, you provide your name and email address. Providing data is voluntary, but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.
In addition, the system used for the newsletter records your IP number, which you used when signing up for the newsletter, determines your approximate location, the email client you use for email, and tracks your actions taken in connection with messages sent to you. Therefore, I also have information about which messages you opened, within which messages you clicked on links, etc.
The data provided by you in connection with signing up for the newsletter, is used for the purpose of sending you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) RODO) given when signing up for the newsletter.
As for the processing of information that does not come from you, but is collected automatically by the mailing system, I rely in this regard on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) RODO) to analyze the behavior of newsletter subscribers in order to optimize mailing activities.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the dedicated link included in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting me.
Despite the cancellation of the newsletter, your data will continue to be stored in the database for the purpose of identifying the returning subscriber and for the possible defense of claims related to the sending of the newsletter to you, in particular for the purpose of proving the fact that you gave your consent to receive the newsletter and the moment of its withdrawal, which constitutes the legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO.
You can modify your information provided for receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking on the appropriate link visible in each message sent as part of the newsletter or by simply contacting me.
Comments / feedback – details
When adding a comment, you must provide at least a username that will be assigned to the comment (the name may include personal information, such as your first or last name) and an email address. Providing this data is voluntary, but necessary to add a comment.
The comment system is operated by a third-party provider, Disqus, Inc. The use of the comment system is subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of Disqus. Disqus is a stand-alone, independent entity that provides electronic services to you and processes your personal data in connection with the use of these services. You can use the Disqus system either without creating a user account or as a registered user after registering – the decision in this regard is up to you.
The comment you add, along with your data made public within the Disqus settings, will be visible on the site. You can modify and delete the comment at any time.
The legal basis for processing your personal data in the case of the comment system is the legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) of the RODO, which in this case consists in the operation of a comment system.
Mail handling – details
When contacting via e-mail, you naturally provide your personal information contained in the body of the correspondence, in particular your e-mail address and name. Provision of data is voluntary, but necessary to make contact.
Your data in this case is processed for the purpose of contacting you, and the basis for processing is Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO, i.e. legitimate interest. The legal basis for post-contact processing is also the legitimate interest of archiving correspondence for the purpose of ensuring that we can prove certain facts in the future (Article 6(1)(f) RODO).
The content of the correspondence may be subject to archiving, and I am unable to determine clearly when it will be deleted. You have the right to request the history of correspondence you have had with me (if it was subject to archiving), as well as to request its deletion, unless its archiving is justified by overriding interests, such as defense against potential claims on your part.
Tax and accounting obligations – details
If I issue an invoice to you, it becomes part of your accounting records, which will be kept for the period of time required by law. Your personal data is then processed for the purpose of fulfilling my tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the RODO in connection with the relevant regulations governing tax and accounting obligations).
Archive – details
As part of the description of the various purposes of personal data processing, the time limits for storing personal data are indicated. These deadlines are often related to the archiving of certain data for the purpose of ensuring that we can prove certain facts in the future, reconstruct the course of cooperation with the customer, exchanged correspondence, defense, establishment or assertion of claims. I am relying in this regard on the legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO.
Recipient groups – details
Your email address stored in the newsletter database or in the store’s database can be sent to Facebook to create a group of ad recipients using that email address.
When using this feature, the email address is hashed before being sent to Facebook to create a group of recipients.
The email address will be used in the matching process conducted by Facebook.
Facebook does not share the email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes the email address immediately after the matching process.
Facebook has implemented processes and procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address sent to it and the set of Facebook user IDs that make up the group of recipients created using the email address, among other things, through the use of technical and physical safeguards.
The creation of a Facebook advertising audience using your email address constitutes a legitimate interest as referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO. You can object to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose at any time, just write to me about it at: office@littledragon.com.pl .
Social media – details
If you follow my social media profiles or interact with content I post on social media, I naturally see your data, which is publicly available in your social profile. I process this data only within the social network in question and only for the purpose of operating the social network in question, which is a legitimate interest referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO.
Your use of social networking sites is subject to the rules and privacy policies of the administrators of these sites, and these administrators provide electronic services to you, fully independently and autonomously.
I encourage you to use social networks consciously and take care of your privacy within them, especially by choosing the content you make public and managing your privacy settings prudently.
Analysis and statistics – details
I conduct analytical and statistical activities using the tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within the analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal information, because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal information I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and divided opinions among legal scholars, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.
I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interests referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO. Legitimate interest is to create, review and analyze statistics related to user activity on the site in order to draw conclusions that allow for subsequent optimization of the website.
I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we can only see a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party tool cookies in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on a relevant link in the footer of the page.
Self-marketing – details
I conduct marketing activities using third-party tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. As part of the marketing tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal information, because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal information I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and divided opinions among legal scholars, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is assigned the nature of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.
I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interests referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO. Legitimate interest consists in creating Custom Audience Groups based on Anonymous Information and targeting advertisements based on Anonymous Information, both of which fall within the marketing of our own products and services.
I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we can only see a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party tool cookies in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on a relevant link in the footer of the page.
Additional tools – details
We embed videos from YouTube, audio recordings from SoundCloud, use social plugins and Disqus comments. All of these tools process Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information by itself does not, in my opinion, have the character of personal information, because it does not allow me to identify you and I do not collate it with the typical personal information I collect about you. Nevertheless, given the strict jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among lawyers, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is attributed the nature of personal data, detailed explanations are also included in this privacy policy regarding the processing of such information.
I base the processing of Anonymous Information on the legitimate interests referred to in Art. 6 paragraph. 1(f) RODO. The legitimate interest in this case is to ensure that additional features on the site can be used.
I am unable to provide you with access to Anonymous Information about you because we are unable to attribute any of the Anonymous Information to any specific user. From external tools, we can only see a set of statistics and information not assigned to specific individuals.
You can, however, object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling third-party tool cookies in the cookie settings invoked by clicking on a relevant link in the footer of the page.
# 7: How long will I keep your personal information?
Data retention periods are indicated separately for each processing purpose. You will find this information under the details dedicated to each separate processing purpose. Most of the data is deleted after the expiration of the statute of limitations for claims.
# 8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
I would venture to say that modern business cannot do without third-party services. I also use such services. Some of these services involve the processing of your personal data. Third-party service providers that are involved in the processing of your personal data are:
- The hosting provider that stores the data on the server,
- cloud service provider, which stores files that may contain your personal information,
- the provider of the mailing system where your data is stored if you are a newsletter subscriber,
- provider of a CRM system in which I store your data to improve the customer service process and for archival purposes,
- provider of an invoicing system that stores your data for invoicing purposes,
- The accounting office that processes your data shown on invoices,
- a maintenance service provider who accesses the data if the technical work carried out concerns areas where personal data is located,
- other subcontractors who gain access to the data if the scope of their activities requires such access.
All the entities listed above process your data on the basis of personal data processing entrustment agreements and guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be shared with a legal advisor or attorney bound by professional secrecy. The need may arise from a legal necessity requiring access to your personal information.
Your personal data may also be transferred to the tax authorities to the extent necessary to carry out tax and accounting obligations. This includes, in particular, all declarations, reports, statements and other accounting documents that contain your personal data.
In addition, if necessary, your personal data may be shared with entities, authorities or institutions entitled to access the data under the law, such as police, security services, courts, prosecutors.
Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver your order. These companies become independent controllers of your personal data.
What’s more, when it comes to Anonymous Information, providers of tools or plug-ins that collect Anonymous Information have access to it. The providers of these tools are independent controllers of the data collected in them, and may share this data under the terms of their own regulations and privacy policies, which are beyond my control.
# 9: Do I transfer your data to third countries or international organizations?
Yes, part of the processing operations of your personal data may involve their transfer to third countries.
I transfer your personal data to third countries in connection with the use of tools that store personal data on servers located in third countries, particularly in the USA. The providers of these tools guarantee an adequate level of personal data protection through the relevant compliance mechanisms provided by the RODO, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
The storage of personal data on servers located in third countries occurs within the following tools:
- MailChimp mailing system, whose provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA – in terms of your name, email address, IP address and statistical information related to your responses to the messages sent.
Rocket Science Group LLC ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data by applying the compliance mechanisms provided for by the RODO, in particular through the use of standard contractual clauses.
I would also like to remind you at this point that I use third-party tools that may collect Anonymous Information. I have mentioned this several times within this policy, including in response to a previous question. Providers of these tools often use servers located around the world, particularly in the United States of America (US), to store the information they collect.
# 10: Do I use profiling? Do I make automated decisions based on your personal information?
I do not make decisions with respect to you based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which would produce legal effects with respect to you or similarly materially affect you.
Yes, I do use tools that I can take certain actions depending on the information collected by the tracking mechanisms, but I believe that these actions do not have a significant impact on you, as they do not differentiate your situation as a customer, do not affect the terms of the contract you may enter into, etc.
Using certain tools, I may, for example, target you with personalized ads based on previous actions you have taken on the site or suggest products that may interest you. We are talking here about the so-called. behavioral advertising. I encourage you to deepen your knowledge of behavioral advertising, particularly with regard to privacy issues. Detailed information, including the ability to manage your behavioral advertising settings, can be found here .
I emphasize that within the tools I use I only have access to Anonymous Information. This information is stored on the servers of the providers of the individual tools, and these servers can most often be located around the world.
# 11: What rights do you have in relation to the processing of your personal data?
The RODO grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:
- The right to access your data and receive a copy of it,
- The right to rectify (amend) your data,
– The right to erasure (if, in your opinion, there are no grounds for your data to be processed, you can demand erasure),
– The right to restrict data processing (you can request that I restrict data processing only to storing the data or carrying out activities agreed with you, if, in your opinion, I have incorrect data or am processing it unfoundedly),
– The right to object to processing (you have the right to object to processing on the basis of a legitimate interest; you should indicate the particular situation that you believe justifies the cessation of processing covered by the objection; I will stop processing your data for these purposes unless I demonstrate that the grounds for processing override your rights or that your data are necessary for me to establish, assert or defend claims),
– The right to data portability (you have the right to receive in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format the personal data you have provided under the contract or your consent; you can have this data sent directly to another entity),
– The right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data, if you have previously given such consent,
– The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you find that I am processing your data unlawfully, you can file a complaint about it with the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection or any other competent supervisory authority).
The rules related to the exercise of the rights indicated above are described in detail in Art. 16 – 21 RODO. I encourage you to take a look at these recipes. For my part, I consider it necessary to explain to you that the rights indicated above are not absolute and you will not be entitled to all processing activities of your personal data.
I would like to emphasize that one of the rights indicated above is always available to you – if you consider that there has been a violation of data protection regulations in the processing of your personal data, you have the opportunity to file a complaint with the supervisory authority (President of the Office for Personal Data Protection).
You can also always request access to information about what data I have about you and for what purposes I process it. Just send an email to office@littledragon.com.pl . However, I have made every effort to ensure that the information of interest to you is comprehensively presented in this privacy policy. You can also use the e-mail address provided above if you have any questions about the processing of your personal data.

Google Analytics – details
I use the Google Analytics tool provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. I carry out activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in creating statistics and analyzing them to optimize the website.
In order to use Google Analytics, a special Google Analytics tracking code is implemented in the code of the site. The tracking code uses cookies from Google LLC regarding the Google Analytics service. You can block the Google Analytics tracking code at any time by installing a browser add-on provided by Google .
Google Analytics automatically collects information about your use of the website. The information gathered in this way is usually transmitted to Google’s servers, which may be located around the world, and stored there.

I emphasize that within Google Analytics I only have access to Anonymous Information.
Google Analytics and Google Analytics 360 services have been certified to the independent ISO 27001 security standard.

Hotjar records every visitor to the site and enables the playback of a video recording of his or her movement on the site, as well as the generation of a so-called “video”. heat maps. Within the Hotjar tool, I do not have access to information that identifies you because Hotjar does not record the process of filling out forms.

I use remarketing features available within the Google AdWords system operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. I carry out activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in marketing my own products or services.
When you visit my website, a Google remarketing cookie is automatically left on your device to collect information about your activity on the site. With the information gathered in this way, I am able to display ads to you within the Google network depending on your behavior on the site. For example, if you display a product, the information about it will be noted by a remarketing cookie, making it possible for me to target you with advertising about that product or any other we deem appropriate. This advertisement will be displayed to you within the Google network when you use the Internet, browse other websites, etc.
I emphasize that when using Google Ads, I only use Anonymous Information.
Using Google AdWords, I am only able to define the audiences I want our ads to reach. Based on this, Google decides when and how it will present you with an ad.
Further processing of information only takes place if you have given your consent to Google to link your browsing history to your account and to use information from your Google account to personalize the ads that are displayed on the websites. In this situation, Google will use your data to create and define lists of target groups for remarketing on different devices. To do this, Google temporarily combines the information it collects with other data it has to create target groups.
If you do not want to receive personalized ads, you can manage your ad settings directly on Google’s website: https: //adssettings.google.com/ .

Facebook Custom Audiences – details
As part of the Facebook Ads system provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, I use the Custom Audience Groups feature to target specific groups of users with targeted advertising messages. I perform activities in this regard based on my legitimate interest in marketing my own products or services.
In order to target you with ads personalized to your behavior on the site, a Facebook Pixel has been implemented within the site, which automatically collects information about your use of the site. The information collected in this way is usually transmitted to Facebook’s servers, which may be located around the world, particularly in the United States of America (USA).
The information collected within the Facebook Pixel is anonymous, i.e. do not allow me to identify you. Depending on your activity on the site, you may reach a certain audience, but I do not in any way identify individual members of these groups.
Facebook’s Pixel can track and note, among other things. The following are your behaviors:
- display the contents of a specific page,
- The transition to checkout within the store,
- Finalize the purchase within the store,
- Filling out a specific form, such as signing up for a newsletter.
However, I am informing you that Facebook may combine the information it collects with other information about you collected through your use of Facebook and use for its own purposes, including marketing. Such actions by Facebook are no longer up to me, and you can look for information about them directly in Facebook’s privacy policy . From your Facebook account you can also manage your privacy settings. Here you will find useful information in this regard.
Facebook Connect and other social plugins – details
My website uses plug-ins, buttons and other social media tools, collectively referred to as “plug-ins”, provided by social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIN, Twitter.
When displaying a web page containing a plug-in of a particular social network, your browser sends information to the administrator of that social network about your visit. Since the plug-in is a fragment of a social network embedded in a page, the browser sends a request to download the content of a particular social network to the page.
The plug-ins collect certain information about you, such as your user ID, the site you visited, the date and time, and other browser information.
Social network administrators use some of this information to personalize the viewing conditions of my site. For example, when you visit a page with a “Like” button, the social network administrator needs information about who you are to show you which of your friends also like my page.
Information collected by plug-ins may also be used by social network administrators for their own purposes, such as improving their own products, creating user profiles, analyzing and optimizing their own activities, and targeting advertisements. I have no real influence on how the information collected by the plug-ins is then used by the social network administrators. You can look for details in this regard in the regulations and privacy policies of the individual social networks.
Social network plug-ins collect and transmit information to the administrators of these social networks even when you browse my site without being logged into your social network account. But then the browser sends a more limited set of information.
If you have logged in to one of the social networks, then the administrator of the site will be able to directly attribute your visit to my site to your profile on a particular social network.
If you do not want social networks to attribute the data collected during your visit to my website directly to your profile on a particular service, then you must log out of that service before visiting the website. You can also completely prevent plug-ins from loading on the site by using the appropriate extensions for your browser, such as script blocking.
In addition, the use of certain plug-ins may involve the publication of certain information within your social profiles. For example, information about clicks on the “Like” button can be available on your Facebook timeline. Of course, if you share some content on your social media using plugins embedded on my site, that sharing will naturally show up on your profile.
As for the details related to the processing by social network administrators of information collected by plug-ins, in particular the purpose and scope of data collection and its further processing and use by the administrators, as well as the possibility of contacting you and your rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to ensure the protection of your privacy, you will find everything in the privacy policies of the individual service providers:
