In accordance with the accepted practice of most of web services, we keep HTTP enquiries sent to our server. This means that we public IP addresses from which Users browse information content of our service. The browsed resources are identified by URL addresses. We also know the following:

  • time taken to send the reply;
  • name of client station – identification is executed by the HTTP protocol;
  • information on errors that occurred while executing the HTTP transaction;
  • URL address of the site previously visited by the User (referrer link) – if the transfer to the Office’s page was made through a link;
  • information on User’s browser.

Regardless of the above, circumstances can be when information other than the above concerning the User, including personal data, will be indispensable to execute the requested service or process.

The data provided will be processed for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the provision, unless the law provides otherwise.

In a situation when the User reveals personal data of a third person in the form/questionnaire, it is assumed that the User has an appropriate consent of the person whose data he/she has revealed.
