service available at
https://nerds.family
(hereinafter referred to as: „

By creating an account, you conclude a contract with us and become a

2. OTHER VISITORS OF OUR SERVICE
We process data of each user characterizes how the user uses our
Service (these are so-called operating data).
This processing includes an automatic reading of a unique identifier
that identifies the end of the telecommunications network or IT system
you use (i.e. your IP address), the date and time of the server,
information about the technical parameters of the software and the
device you use (e.g. whether you use your laptop or phone for browsing
our site and the place from which you connect to our server. We may
use this information for market research purposes and to improve the
performance of the Service. The data stored in the server logs is not
associated with specific people using the website. The server logs are
only auxiliary material used to administer the Service.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 section 1 letter f)
of the GDPR (i.e.
„processing is necessary for purposes arising from legitimate
interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party"
). This legitimate interest is to enable the diagnosis of errors in
the Service and the improvement of its quality.

3. CONTACT
By contacting us, you provide us with your personal data, including
those contained in the content of the correspondence, in particular
the e-mail address, name and surname. Providing this data is
voluntary, but necessary to contact us.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data that you
provide by contacting us is Article 6 section 1 letter f) of the GDPR
(i.e.
„processing is necessary for purposes arising from legitimate
interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party"
). The “legitimate interest for the processing of your personal data”
in this case is possibility for us to contact with Service Users and
answer questions asked by persons interested in the operation of the
Service.

4. DIRECT MARKETING
If we think we can help you with our services, we process your
personal data for marketing purposes. Therefore, processing is
necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the
controller of personal data, that is us (Article 6 section 1 letter f)
of the GDPR).
After obtaining a separate consent we may process your personal data
also for marketing purposes,
i.e. to present you commercial, advertising, promotional and
marketing information
regarding NERDS.FAMILY
(pursuant to article 172 section 1 of the Telecommunications Act of
July 16, 2004 and article 10 section 2 of the Act of July 18, 2002 on
the providing services by electronic means).
However, the legal basis for processing your personal data for direct
marketing purposes is Article 6 sec. 1 letter f) of the GDPR (i.e.
„processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests
pursued by the controller or by a third party"
).
According to Recital 47 of the GDPR: "
The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be
regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest
." Such a legitimate interest may exist in cases where there is a
substantial and appropriate relationship between the data subject and
the controller. Consent to the sending of commercial communications
under the Act on the providing services by electronic means is
precisely the link between the person giving consent and the
controller referred to in Recital 47 of the GDPR. The fact that you
have given your consent for the above mentioned marketing purposes
means that you have reasonable grounds to expect that your personal
data may be processed for such purposes.
You have the right to object at any time and free of charge to this
processing, whether primary or further - including profiling, insofar
as it is related to direct marketing. Once you have objected to the
processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes -
NERDS.FAMILY may no longer process your data for such purposes.
You also have the right to withdraw your consent to receive
commercial communications and marketing contacts at any time and free
of charge. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of
actions taken on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
When you leave your email address on an academy page to hear when
its next cohort opens, we store that address, the academy it was left
for, the time you asked, the time you confirmed the address from our
mail, and the time you leave the list. We use it for one thing: one
mail when a cohort of that academy opens for enrolment. Nothing is
sent before you confirm the address. Every mail we send to that
address carries a link that removes it from the list, and once you
use it we send nothing further to it.

5. PURSUING OF CLAIMS
The legal basis for processing your personal data after your contact
ends or the contract is terminated is our legitimate interest in
archiving correspondence for the purposes of ensuring that you can
prove certain facts in the future. So we can process your personal
data for the purpose of pursuing and defending against claims pursuant
to Article 6 section 1 letter f) of the GDPR (i.e.
„processing is necessary for purposes arising from legitimate
interests pursued by the administrator or by a third party"
).

6. COOKIES
We process completely anonymous data of each User of the Service,
which characterizes the way they use our Service (these are the
so-called exploitation data). This processing includes automatic
reading of a unique identifier identifying the termination of the
telecommunications network or ICT system you are using (i.e. your IP
address), as well as the date and time of the server, information
about technical parameters of the software and device you use (e.g.
whether you are using a laptop or a telephone while browsing our
Service) and the place from which you are connecting to our server.
Data stored in server logs are not associated with specific people
using the service. Server logs are only an auxiliary material used to
administer the Service.
Like almost all websites and applications, we use cookies. Cookies
are small text information stored on your end device (e.g. computer,
tablet, smartphone), which can be read by our ICT system.
Cookies allow us to:
-
ensure the proper functioning of the Service;
-
improve the speed and security of using the Service;
-
use analytical tools (Google Analytics), only after you consent
to it on the cookie banner;
-
measure which advertisements for our webinars end in a sign-up
(Google Ads), only on the webinar pages. Advertising cookies are
set only after you consent to it on the cookie banner there; what
the tag does before that is described under “Advertising” below.
The legal basis for point 1 and 2 above is our legitimate interest as
data controller (Article 6 section 1 letter f) of the GDPR). This
covers session cookies, security cookies (including the Cloudflare
Turnstile bot protection on our forms) and the cookie that remembers
your consent decision.
The legal basis for points 3 and 4 above is your consent (Article 6
section 1 letter a) of the GDPR). Analytics and advertising cookies
are not set until you give that consent.
Analytics cookies contain a random identifier which, under the GDPR,
counts as personal data. We do not combine it with your account
data and we do not use it to identify you. Strictly necessary
cookies carry no more than what running the Service requires.
Consent to cookies
During your first visit to our Service you will see a cookie banner
with two equal choices: “Accept” and “Reject”. Until you
accept, no analytics or advertising cookies are set and the
analytics tools stay off. On the webinar pages
(webinar.nerds.family) the banner asks about analytics and
advertising together and says so, and it asks again there even if
you have already answered elsewhere; the Google Ads tag on those
pages is described under “Advertising” below. Your
decision is stored in a cookie for 12 months, and we keep a record
of the decision itself: its date, your choice and a random
identifier, nothing that identifies you.
You can change or withdraw your decision at any time using the
“Cookie settings” link in the footer of the Service. Withdrawing
consent is as easy as giving it, and it removes the analytics and
advertising cookies. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing
before it. You can also delete cookies in your browser at any
time; cookies that keep you logged in are necessary for your
account to work.
Custom Cookies and third party cookies
Cookies can be divided into own and coming from third parties. As far
as our own cookies are concerned, we use them in order to improve the
functioning of the Service and to enable proper use of accounts
(session maintenance). The NERDS.FAMILY, like most of today’s web
services, uses functions provided by third parties, which involves the
use of cookies from third parties.
Analysis and statistics.
On the basis of your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (provided
by Google Ireland Ltd), loaded through Google Tag Manager, to track
website statistics such as the number of visitors, the type of
operating system and web browser, time spent on the site and
visited subpages. Google’s privacy information is available at
https://policies.google.com/privacy. Until you consent, and whenever you reject, these tools stay
off.
Advertising.
On the webinar pages we load a Google Ads tag (provided by Google
Ireland Ltd) together with the page. Until you consent on the
cookie banner there, and whenever you reject, the tag sets and
reads no cookies. It then sends Google a signal without them that
the page was opened or that a sign-up followed: the time, your
browser type, the address of the page and the address you came to
it from, whether an advertisement brought you there, the state of
your consent and a number drawn anew for each page. The identifier
of the advertisement click is left out of that signal. Once you
consent, the tag stores the identifier of the advertisement click
that brought you to the page, and tells the Google Ads account
that paid for that advertisement that a visit or a sign-up
followed it. The advertisements for the .NET webinars are bought
by our partner Szkoła Dotneta (szkoladotneta.pl), so that account
is theirs.
Importantly, you do not have to share the information contained in
cookies with us. You can prevent this by deleting cookies and changing
the cookie settings on your web browser. Opting out of cookies usually
only applies to a specific browser - this means that the same action
will have to be taken for any other browser you use on the same or a
different device.
You can also use tools that allow you to collectively manage your
cookie settings and browser plug-ins that allow you to control your
cookies. Web browsers also offer the option of using the so-called
"incognito mode", which allows you to visit websites without saving
information about the sites you have visited and the files you have
downloaded in your browser history. As a rule, cookies created in
incognito mode are deleted when you close all incognito mode
windows.
Please note, however, that disabling cookies may cause difficulties
in using the Service, as well as many other websites that use
cookies.
