Privacy Policy and Cookies
Hello, good day!
If you’ve landed here, it’s a clear sign that you value your privacy. I completely understand that, which is why I present you with this document, where you will find all the rules regarding the processing of personal data and the use of cookies and other tracking technologies in connection with the operation of the website www.dreamersland.eu.
A formal note to begin with – the website is administered by DREAMERSLAND Sp. z o.o., headquartered in Warsaw, ul.

This privacy policy has been structured in the form of a Q&A format. This choice was made to ensure transparency and clarity of the information provided to you. Below, you will find a table of contents of this policy, corresponding to the questions that are answered in order.
# 1: Who is the administrator of your personal data?
The administrator of your personal data is DREAMERSLAND Sp. z o.o., headquartered in Warsaw, ul. Żegańska 21/23, 04-713 Warsaw, registered in the Register of Entrepreneurs maintained by the District Court for the capital city of Warsaw, XIV Economic Department of the National Court Register under the number 0000990809, NIP: 9522231708.
# 2: Who can you contact regarding the processing of your personal data?
As part of our personal data protection efforts, we have decided not to appoint a Data Protection Officer, as it is not required in our case. For any matters related to data protection and privacy, you can contact us via email at hello@dreamersland.eu.
# 3: What information do we have about you?
Depending on the purpose, we may process the following information about you:
We process this data as described in detail in each section of this policy.
Additionally, we use tools that collect data about your usage of our website, including:
These are collectively referred to as Anonymous Information in this policy.
Anonymous Information, in my opinion, does not constitute personal data in itself, as it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I combine it with the typical personal data I collect about you. However, considering the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the divided opinions among legal experts, as a precaution, in case Anonymous Information is deemed to have the nature of personal data, this privacy policy also includes detailed explanations regarding the processing of such information.
Since Anonymous Information is collected through external tools that I use (which are discussed in detail in a later section of this privacy policy), it is also processed by the tool providers in accordance with the terms and privacy policies they establish.
Anonymous Information is also used by the providers of these tools to deliver and improve services, manage them, develop new services, measure advertising effectiveness, prevent fraud and abuse, as well as personalize content and advertisements displayed across various services, websites, and applications.

# 6: For what purposes do we process your personal data?
We process data for various purposes, including:
User Account – Details
When creating a user account, you must provide the necessary information: an email address and a password. Providing this data is voluntary but essential for account creation.
As part of editing your account details, you may provide additional information, particularly data that may be used when placing orders, such as your full name, residential or business address, tax identification number (NIP), and phone number. You may also set up an avatar for your account, such as a profile picture including your image.
If you create an account through integration with a social media service, I will gain access—based on your prior authorization—to certain data stored within your social media account (such as your name, email address, and profile picture).
Additionally, my system, which manages user accounts, records the IP address you used when registering your account.
At any time, you can modify the information provided during your account registration. However, if you registered via social media integration, the data retrieved from the social media service cannot be modified.
The data you provide in connection with account creation is processed for the purpose of providing you with an electronic service that enables you to use a user account. This service is provided under an agreement governed by the terms described in the regulations, meaning that the legal basis for processing your personal data in this regard is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
The data will be stored for the duration of the account’s existence and subsequently until the expiration of any claims related to the user account service.
Orders – Details
When placing an order, you must provide the necessary data to process it: your email address, full name, and billing details.
Additionally, the system used to process orders records the IP address you used when placing the order.
Each order is saved in the database, meaning that the personal data associated with the order is accompanied by additional order-related information, such as the date and time of the order, order ID, transaction ID, order contents, price, payment method and deadline, and the date and time of downloading purchased digital content.
The data collected in connection with an order is processed for the following purposes:
Order data is processed for the time necessary to fulfill the order and subsequently until the expiration of claims related to the contract.
Please note that I am legally required to retain accounting documentation, which may include your personal data, for the period required by law.
At any time, you may access information about your orders. However, correcting this data is not possible, except in the case of a corrective note or invoice issued due to an error. Until the expiration of claims from the contract, I consider retaining order data to be my legitimate interest.
Abandoned Cart Recovery – Details
If you begin the order process but do not complete it, my system will register this and activate the abandoned cart recovery mechanism. This mechanism means that for a certain period, I will send you reminders about the possibility of completing your order. This is based on my legitimate interest, as referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which consists of marketing my products and services.
You can object to receiving abandoned cart recovery messages by clicking the appropriate link in the received message.
Complaints and Withdrawal from the Contract – Details
If you submit a complaint or withdraw from a contract, you provide personal data included in the complaint or withdrawal statement. This may include your full name, residential address, phone number, email address, and bank account number. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to process the complaint or withdrawal.
The data provided in connection with a complaint or withdrawal is used to process the complaint or withdrawal procedure and subsequently for archival purposes, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The data will be processed for the time necessary to complete the complaint or withdrawal procedure. Complaint documents will be retained until the expiration of warranty rights. Withdrawal statements will be stored along with accounting documentation for the period required by law.
Newsletter – details
By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide your name and email address. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.
Additionally, the system used to manage the newsletter records your IP address at the time of subscription, determines your approximate location, identifies the email client you use, and tracks your interactions with the emails sent to you. As a result, I also have information on which emails you opened and which links you clicked within them.
The data you provide when subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) given during the subscription process.
Regarding the processing of information that was collected automatically by the mailing system and not directly provided by you, I rely on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in analyzing subscriber behavior to optimize email marketing efforts.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the designated link in any newsletter email or by contacting me directly.
Even after unsubscribing, your data will remain stored in the database to identify returning subscribers and to defend against potential claims related to newsletter mailings. This particularly includes proving your consent to receive the newsletter and the date you withdrew it, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
You can modify your newsletter subscription details at any time by clicking the relevant link in any newsletter email or by contacting me.
Comments / Reviews – Details
When adding a comment, you must provide at least a username that will be assigned to the comment (this may include personal data, such as your first or last name) and an email address. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to submit a comment.
The comment system is operated by an external provider—Disqus, Inc. Using the comment system is subject to Disqus’s terms of service and privacy policy. Disqus is an independent entity that provides electronic services to you and processes your personal data in connection with these services. You may use Disqus without creating an account or as a registered user after signing up—it’s your choice.
Your submitted comment, along with any data made public based on your Disqus settings, will be visible on the website. You can edit or delete your comment at any time.
The legal basis for processing your personal data in the comment system is a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in managing the commenting system.
Handling Correspondence – Details
When you contact me via email, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the message, particularly your email address and name. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to establish contact.
Your data is processed to communicate with you, based on a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). After communication ends, your data may also be stored for archival purposes to provide evidence of specific interactions in the future (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The content of your messages may be archived, and I cannot definitively state when they will be deleted. You have the right to request access to the history of our correspondence (if archived) and to request its deletion unless archival retention is justified by overriding interests, such as defending against potential claims.
Tax and Accounting Obligations – Details
If I issue an invoice in your name, it becomes part of my accounting records and will be stored for the legally required period. Your personal data in this case is processed to fulfill my tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR) in accordance with applicable tax and accounting laws.
Data Archiving – Details
The retention periods for personal data are specified in the descriptions of different processing purposes. These retention periods often relate to data archiving to ensure the ability to prove specific events, reconstruct the history of interactions with customers, track correspondence, or handle potential claims. This is based on a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Audience Targeting – Details
Your email address stored in the newsletter or store database may be sent to Facebook to create an advertising audience using this email address.
Before sending, your email is hashed for security. The email address is then used in Facebook’s matching process to create a custom audience for advertising.
Facebook does not share your email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes it immediately after the matching process is complete.
Facebook has implemented procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address and the user identifiers used for audience targeting, including technical and physical security measures.
Creating a Facebook advertising audience using your email address constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). You can object to the use of your email for this purpose at any time by contacting me at hello@dreamersland.eu.
Social Media – Details
If you follow my profiles on social media or interact with my content, I can naturally see your publicly available data from your social media profile. I process this data only within the respective social media platform and solely for managing my presence there, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Your use of social media is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the platform administrators, who provide their services independently and process your personal data accordingly.
I encourage you to be mindful of your privacy on social media, particularly by carefully selecting the content you make public and managing your privacy settings.
Analysis and Statistics – Details
I conduct analytical and statistical activities using tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within these analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data since it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and differing legal opinions, as a precaution, this privacy policy includes detailed explanations regarding the processing of such information.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which involves creating, reviewing, and analyzing user activity statistics to derive insights for optimizing the website.
I cannot provide you with access to Anonymous Information related to you because it is not assigned to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregate statistics and data that are not linked to any individual.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the appropriate link in the footer of the website.
Own Marketing – Details
I conduct marketing activities using external tools, which are described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within these marketing tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As previously mentioned, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, considering the strict EU court rulings and differing legal perspectives, this privacy policy also includes explanations regarding the processing of such information as a precaution.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which involves creating Custom Audiences based on Anonymous Information and targeting advertisements using Anonymous Information. These activities fall within the scope of marketing my own products and services.
I cannot provide access to Anonymous Information about you because this data is not linked to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregated statistics and data that do not identify individuals.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the relevant link in the website footer.
Additional Tools – Details
I embed YouTube videos, SoundCloud audio recordings, social media plugins, and Disqus comments on the website. All of these tools process Anonymous Information.
As previously mentioned, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, given the strict EU court rulings and varying legal interpretations, this privacy policy also includes detailed explanations of the processing of such information as a precaution.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which, in this case, is to ensure the availability of additional website features.
I cannot provide access to Anonymous Information about you because this data is not linked to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregated statistics and data that do not identify individuals.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the relevant link in the website footer.
# 7: How long will we store your personal data?
The data retention period varies depending on the purpose of processing. Most data is deleted after the relevant legal retention period has expired.
# 8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
We use third-party services that require data processing, such as:
All entities mentioned above process your data based on data processing agreements and guarantee an appropriate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be shared with a legal advisor or attorney who is bound by professional confidentiality. This need may arise from the necessity of obtaining legal assistance that requires access to your personal data.
Your personal data may also be transferred to tax authorities to the extent necessary to fulfill tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations. This specifically includes any declarations, reports, statements, and other accounting documents that contain your personal data.
Furthermore, if such a necessity arises, your personal data may be shared with entities, authorities, or institutions authorized to access the data under legal provisions, such as law enforcement agencies (police, security services), courts, and prosecutors’ offices.
Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver the order. These companies become independent controllers of your personal data.
Additionally, I participate in the Ceneo Trusted Reviews Program.

If you give this consent, your data will be shared with Ceneo.pl Sp. z o.o., which will then become the controller of your personal data.
For more details on how Ceneo processes your data, refer to their terms and conditions: 🔗 Ceneo Terms and Conditions
Furthermore, regarding Anonymous Information, external tool providers and plugin providers that collect such information have access to it. These providers act as independent data controllers of the information they gather and may share this data based on their own terms and privacy policies, which I have no control over.
# 9: Do we transfer your data to third countries?
Yes, some of the operations involving the processing of your personal data may include transferring it 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 the United States (USA).

The providers of these tools often store the collected information on servers worldwide, particularly in the United States of America (USA).
# 10: Do we use profiling?
I do not make any decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects concerning you or significantly affect you in a similar manner.
Yes, I do use tools that may perform specific actions based on information collected through tracking mechanisms, but I believe that these actions do not significantly impact you. They do not differentiate your status as a customer, affect the terms of any contract you may enter into, or impose any legal consequences.
For example, by using certain tools, I may display personalized advertisements based on your past interactions with the website or suggest products that might interest you. This is known as behavioral advertising. I encourage you to learn more about behavioral advertising, especially regarding privacy-related aspects. Detailed information, along with options for managing your behavioral advertising settings, can be found here.
I emphasize that within the tools I use, I only have access to Anonymous Information. This data is stored on the servers of the respective tool providers, and these servers may be located worldwide.
# 11: Your Rights Regarding the Processing of Your Personal Data
The GDPR grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:
The rules regarding the exercise of the rights mentioned above are detailed in Articles 16–21 of the GDPR. I encourage you to review these provisions. However, I find it necessary to clarify that these rights are not absolute and may not apply to all processing activities involving your personal data.
I emphasize that one of the rights mentioned above always applies—if you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (President of the Personal Data Protection Office).
You may also request information about what data I hold about you and the purposes for which I process it at any time. Simply send a message to hello@dreamersland.eu.

You may also set up an avatar for your account, such as a profile picture including your image.
If you create an account through integration with a social media service, I will gain access—based on your prior authorization—to certain data stored within your social media account (such as your name, email address, and profile picture).
Additionally, my system, which manages user accounts, records the IP address you used when registering your account.
At any time, you can modify the information provided during your account registration. However, if you registered via social media integration, the data retrieved from the social media service cannot be modified.
The data you provide in connection with account creation is processed for the purpose of providing you with an electronic service that enables you to use a user account. This service is provided under an agreement governed by the terms described in the regulations, meaning that the legal basis for processing your personal data in this regard is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
The data will be stored for the duration of the account’s existence and subsequently until the expiration of any claims related to the user account service.
Orders – Details
When placing an order, you must provide the necessary data to process it: your email address, full name, and billing details.
Additionally, the system used to process orders records the IP address you used when placing the order.
Each order is saved in the database, meaning that the personal data associated with the order is accompanied by additional order-related information, such as the date and time of the order, order ID, transaction ID, order contents, price, payment method and deadline, and the date and time of downloading purchased digital content.
The data collected in connection with an order is processed for the following purposes:
- Fulfilling the contract concluded by placing an order (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR),
- Issuing an invoice (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in relation to applicable regulations on invoicing),

Order data is processed for the time necessary to fulfill the order and subsequently until the expiration of claims related to the contract.
Please note that I am legally required to retain accounting documentation, which may include your personal data, for the period required by law.
At any time, you may access information about your orders. However, correcting this data is not possible, except in the case of a corrective note or invoice issued due to an error. Until the expiration of claims from the contract, I consider retaining order data to be my legitimate interest.
Abandoned Cart Recovery – Details
If you begin the order process but do not complete it, my system will register this and activate the abandoned cart recovery mechanism. This mechanism means that for a certain period, I will send you reminders about the possibility of completing your order. This is based on my legitimate interest, as referred to in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which consists of marketing my products and services.
You can object to receiving abandoned cart recovery messages by clicking the appropriate link in the received message.
Complaints and Withdrawal from the Contract – Details
If you submit a complaint or withdraw from a contract, you provide personal data included in the complaint or withdrawal statement. This may include your full name, residential address, phone number, email address, and bank account number. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to process the complaint or withdrawal.
The data provided in connection with a complaint or withdrawal is used to process the complaint or withdrawal procedure and subsequently for archival purposes, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The data will be processed for the time necessary to complete the complaint or withdrawal procedure. Complaint documents will be retained until the expiration of warranty rights. Withdrawal statements will be stored along with accounting documentation for the period required by law.
Newsletter – details
By subscribing to the newsletter, you provide your name and email address. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to subscribe to the newsletter.
Additionally, the system used to manage the newsletter records your IP address at the time of subscription, determines your approximate location, identifies the email client you use, and tracks your interactions with the emails sent to you. As a result, I also have information on which emails you opened and which links you clicked within them.
The data you provide when subscribing to the newsletter is used to send you the newsletter, and the legal basis for its processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) given during the subscription process.
Regarding the processing of information that was collected automatically by the mailing system and not directly provided by you, I rely on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in analyzing subscriber behavior to optimize email marketing efforts.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the designated link in any newsletter email or by contacting me directly.
Even after unsubscribing, your data will remain stored in the database to identify returning subscribers and to defend against potential claims related to newsletter mailings. This particularly includes proving your consent to receive the newsletter and the date you withdrew it, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
You can modify your newsletter subscription details at any time by clicking the relevant link in any newsletter email or by contacting me.
Comments / Reviews – Details
When adding a comment, you must provide at least a username that will be assigned to the comment (this may include personal data, such as your first or last name) and an email address. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to submit a comment.
The comment system is operated by an external provider—Disqus, Inc. Using the comment system is subject to Disqus’s terms of service and privacy policy. Disqus is an independent entity that provides electronic services to you and processes your personal data in connection with these services. You may use Disqus without creating an account or as a registered user after signing up—it’s your choice.
Your submitted comment, along with any data made public based on your Disqus settings, will be visible on the website. You can edit or delete your comment at any time.
The legal basis for processing your personal data in the comment system is a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) in managing the commenting system.
Handling Correspondence – Details
When you contact me via email, you naturally provide your personal data contained in the message, particularly your email address and name. Providing this data is voluntary but necessary to establish contact.
Your data is processed to communicate with you, based on a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). After communication ends, your data may also be stored for archival purposes to provide evidence of specific interactions in the future (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
The content of your messages may be archived, and I cannot definitively state when they will be deleted. You have the right to request access to the history of our correspondence (if archived) and to request its deletion unless archival retention is justified by overriding interests, such as defending against potential claims.
Tax and Accounting Obligations – Details
If I issue an invoice in your name, it becomes part of my accounting records and will be stored for the legally required period. Your personal data in this case is processed to fulfill my tax and accounting obligations (Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR) in accordance with applicable tax and accounting laws.
Data Archiving – Details
The retention periods for personal data are specified in the descriptions of different processing purposes. These retention periods often relate to data archiving to ensure the ability to prove specific events, reconstruct the history of interactions with customers, track correspondence, or handle potential claims. This is based on a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Audience Targeting – Details
Your email address stored in the newsletter or store database may be sent to Facebook to create an advertising audience using this email address.
Before sending, your email is hashed for security. The email address is then used in Facebook’s matching process to create a custom audience for advertising.
Facebook does not share your email address with third parties or other advertisers and deletes it immediately after the matching process is complete.
Facebook has implemented procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of the email address and the user identifiers used for audience targeting, including technical and physical security measures.
Creating a Facebook advertising audience using your email address constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). You can object to the use of your email for this purpose at any time by contacting me at hello@dreamersland.eu.
Social Media – Details
If you follow my profiles on social media or interact with my content, I can naturally see your publicly available data from your social media profile. I process this data only within the respective social media platform and solely for managing my presence there, which constitutes a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
Your use of social media is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the platform administrators, who provide their services independently and process your personal data accordingly.
I encourage you to be mindful of your privacy on social media, particularly by carefully selecting the content you make public and managing your privacy settings.
Analysis and Statistics – Details
I conduct analytical and statistical activities using tools described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within these analytical tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As mentioned earlier, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data since it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, given the strict case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and differing legal opinions, as a precaution, this privacy policy includes detailed explanations regarding the processing of such information.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which involves creating, reviewing, and analyzing user activity statistics to derive insights for optimizing the website.
I cannot provide you with access to Anonymous Information related to you because it is not assigned to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregate statistics and data that are not linked to any individual.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information about you by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the appropriate link in the footer of the website.
Own Marketing – Details
I conduct marketing activities using external tools, which are described in detail later in this privacy policy. Within these marketing tools, I only have access to Anonymous Information.
As previously mentioned, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, considering the strict EU court rulings and differing legal perspectives, this privacy policy also includes explanations regarding the processing of such information as a precaution.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which involves creating Custom Audiences based on Anonymous Information and targeting advertisements using Anonymous Information. These activities fall within the scope of marketing my own products and services.
I cannot provide access to Anonymous Information about you because this data is not linked to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregated statistics and data that do not identify individuals.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the relevant link in the website footer.
Additional Tools – Details
I embed YouTube videos, SoundCloud audio recordings, social media plugins, and Disqus comments on the website. All of these tools process Anonymous Information.
As previously mentioned, Anonymous Information does not, in my opinion, constitute personal data, as it does not allow me to identify you, nor do I associate it with the personal data I collect about you. However, given the strict EU court rulings and varying legal interpretations, this privacy policy also includes detailed explanations of the processing of such information as a precaution.
The processing of Anonymous Information is based on my legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), which, in this case, is to ensure the availability of additional website features.
I cannot provide access to Anonymous Information about you because this data is not linked to any specific user. External tools only provide access to aggregated statistics and data that do not identify individuals.
However, you can object to the processing of Anonymous Information by disabling cookies from external tools in the cookie settings, which can be accessed via the relevant link in the website footer.
# 7: How long will we store your personal data?
The data retention period varies depending on the purpose of processing. Most data is deleted after the relevant legal retention period has expired.
# 8: Who are the recipients of your personal data?
We use third-party services that require data processing, such as:
- Hosting providers
- Cloud storage providers
- Email marketing platforms
- Customer relationship management (CRM) systems
- Accounting and invoicing services
- IT support and security providers
- External subcontractors
All entities mentioned above process your data based on data processing agreements and guarantee an appropriate level of personal data protection.
If necessary, your data may be shared with a legal advisor or attorney who is bound by professional confidentiality. This need may arise from the necessity of obtaining legal assistance that requires access to your personal data.
Your personal data may also be transferred to tax authorities to the extent necessary to fulfill tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations. This specifically includes any declarations, reports, statements, and other accounting documents that contain your personal data.
Furthermore, if such a necessity arises, your personal data may be shared with entities, authorities, or institutions authorized to access the data under legal provisions, such as law enforcement agencies (police, security services), courts, and prosecutors’ offices.
Your data is shared with courier companies to the extent necessary to deliver the order. These companies become independent controllers of your personal data.
Additionally, I participate in the Ceneo Trusted Reviews Program. During the order process, you may provide consent for sharing your order-related data to evaluate customer satisfaction with the purchase. If you give this consent, your data will be shared with Ceneo.pl Sp. z o.o., which will then become the controller of your personal data.
For more details on how Ceneo processes your data, refer to their terms and conditions: 🔗 Ceneo Terms and Conditions
Furthermore, regarding Anonymous Information, external tool providers and plugin providers that collect such information have access to it. These providers act as independent data controllers of the information they gather and may share this data based on their own terms and privacy policies, which I have no control over.
# 9: Do we transfer your data to third countries?
Yes, some of the operations involving the processing of your personal data may include transferring it 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 the United States (USA). The providers of these tools ensure an appropriate level of personal data protection through compliance mechanisms as required by the GDPR, specifically by implementing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
Personal data is stored on servers located in third countries within the framework of the following tools:
- MailChimp email system, provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA – in relation to your name, email address, IP address, and statistical information regarding your interactions with emails sent to you.
Rocket Science Group LLC ensures an appropriate level of personal data protection by implementing compliance mechanisms required under the GDPR, particularly Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
I also remind you that I use external tools that may collect Anonymous Information. I have already mentioned this several times throughout this privacy policy, including in response to previous questions. The providers of these tools often store the collected information on servers worldwide, particularly in the United States of America (USA).
# 10: Do we use profiling?
I do not make any decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that would produce legal effects concerning you or significantly affect you in a similar manner.
Yes, I do use tools that may perform specific actions based on information collected through tracking mechanisms, but I believe that these actions do not significantly impact you. They do not differentiate your status as a customer, affect the terms of any contract you may enter into, or impose any legal consequences.
For example, by using certain tools, I may display personalized advertisements based on your past interactions with the website or suggest products that might interest you. This is known as behavioral advertising. I encourage you to learn more about behavioral advertising, especially regarding privacy-related aspects. Detailed information, along with options for managing your behavioral advertising settings, can be found here.
I emphasize that within the tools I use, I only have access to Anonymous Information. This data is stored on the servers of the respective tool providers, and these servers may be located worldwide.
# 11: Your Rights Regarding the Processing of Your Personal Data
The GDPR grants you the following potential rights related to the processing of your personal data:

- Right to restrict data processing (you may request that the processing of your data be limited solely to storage or the execution of actions agreed upon with you if, in your opinion, I have incorrect data or am processing it unlawfully)
- Right to object to data processing (you have the right to object to the processing of your data based on a legitimate interest; you should indicate a specific situation that, in your opinion, justifies stopping the processing to which the objection applies; I will stop processing your data for these purposes unless I can demonstrate that the grounds for processing override your rights or that your data is necessary for establishing, pursuing, or defending legal claims)
- Right to data portability (you have the right to receive, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, the personal data you provided based on a contract or your consent; you may request that this data be transferred directly to another entity)

- Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you determine that I am processing your data unlawfully, you may submit a complaint to the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) or another competent supervisory authority)
The rules regarding the exercise of the rights mentioned above are detailed in Articles 16–21 of the GDPR. I encourage you to review these provisions. However, I find it necessary to clarify that these rights are not absolute and may not apply to all processing activities involving your personal data.
I emphasize that one of the rights mentioned above always applies—if you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (President of the Personal Data Protection Office).
You may also request information about what data I hold about you and the purposes for which I process it at any time. Simply send a message to hello@dreamersland.eu.

Facebook Connect & Other Social Media Plugins – Details
My website uses plugins, buttons, and other social media tools (hereinafter referred to as “plugins”) provided by social media platforms such as:
When you view a webpage containing a social media plugin, your browser automatically sends a request to the social media provider, notifying them of your visit. Since the plugin is an integrated part of the social media service, the browser requests content from the social media site to be displayed on the webpage.
The plugins collect certain information about you, including:
- Your user ID
- The website you visited
- Date and time of visit
- Other browser-related information
Social media administrators use some of this data to personalize your experience on my website. For example, when you visit a page with a “Like” button, Facebook may need to identify you to show which of your friends also liked my page.
Social media providers may also use the collected data for their own purposes, including:
- Improving their products
- Creating user profiles
- Analyzing and optimizing their services
- Targeting ads
I do not have control over how social media platforms use data collected through plugins. You can find more details in their respective privacy policies:
- 🔗 Facebook Privacy Policy

- 🔗 LinkedIn Privacy Policy
- 🔗 Instagram Privacy Policy
⚠ Even if you are not logged into your social media account, these plugins may still collect and transmit data to the respective platforms. However, in such cases, the information transmitted is more limited.
If you are logged into a social media account, the provider may directly associate your visit to my website with your social media profile.
How to Prevent Social Media Tracking?
If you do not want social media platforms to link data collected on my website to your social media profile:
- Log out from the respective social media account before visiting my site.
- Use browser extensions that block scripts and plugins to prevent them from loading (e.g., script blockers).
Additionally, some plugins may automatically share specific activities to your social media profile. For example, clicking the “Like” button may be displayed on your Facebook timeline. If you share any content from my website using social media plugins, that content will naturally become visible on your social media profile.
