EPRD places great emphasis on protecting the confidentiality and privacy of entrusted information. One of EPRD’s core responsibilities is to ensure adequate protection and proper use of personal data collected via websites.
We collect only the personal data voluntarily provided by visitors to our websites, to deliver requested information and/or services, including employment opportunities. Please read this Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
We collect personal data when it is voluntarily provided by users, e.g., via contact forms or during registration for specific services. In some cases, personal data may have been provided previously (e.g., by former employees). If you choose to register and/or provide personal data on our websites, EPRD may use such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Data will not be used for purposes beyond those described herein unless we have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted.
For example, if you send us an email requesting information about EPRD, we will use your email address and provided data to fulfill your request. If you send us your CV for recruitment purposes, we will use it to match you with job opportunities at EPRD.
If a user registered for certain services, their email address may be temporarily stored until confirmation is received via email.
EPRD only collects the personal data necessary to fulfill user requests. Users are notified in advance when optional information is requested.
EPRD does not intentionally collect “sensitive” data unless legally required. Sensitive data includes racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, and data concerning health, genetics, biometrics, sexuality, or sexual orientation. Users should exercise caution before providing such data. For clarification, contact iod@eprd.pl.
