2. Data processed when you use this website

This website is informational. It contains no forms, offers no online registration and does not collect health data. When you visit, the server automatically records technical data: IP address, date and time of the request, the page visited and browser information. These data are used solely to keep the website secure and working properly (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and are kept for the hosting provider’s log retention period.

3. Booking and appointments

Appointments can be booked via ZnanyLekarz or by phone. Data entered on ZnanyLekarz are also processed by its operator under its own privacy policy. Data given by phone (name, phone number, appointment time) are used to arrange and manage your visit.

Medical data and medical records are processed for the purpose of providing healthcare (Article 9(2)(h) GDPR) and are kept for the period required by Polish law on patients’ rights.

4. Third-party services

• Hosting — Hostinger; processes the technical data needed to run the website.
• Network and security — Cloudflare; may process IP addresses to protect against attacks and speed up page loading.
• Map — the Appointments page includes an embedded OpenStreetMap map. Displaying it loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap Foundation servers, which receive your browser’s IP address for this purpose. The map does not set cookies.
• External links — links to ZnanyLekarz, Google Maps, Apple Maps and aero-medical.pl open services that apply their own privacy rules.

Fonts are served from our own server — the website does not connect to Google Fonts. We do not use analytics or advertising tools.

5. Transfers outside the EEA

Some technical service providers (e.g. Cloudflare) may also process data outside the European Economic Area. Such transfers are based on standard contractual clauses or a European Commission adequacy decision.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish supervisory authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw. Some rights may be limited by the law on medical records.
