Personal data in the membership declaration

Who is responsible for your data

The controller is Izba Gospodarcza Ziemi Myślenickiej (Myślenice Region Chamber of Commerce), ul. Drogowców 6, 32-400 Myślenice, KRS 0000353855. For questions about personal data or your rights, email biuro@igzm.pl or write to the Chamber’s postal address.

Why we use your data

We prepare the declaration, check the business’s details and the applicant’s authority to act, and contact you for any missing information. Once we receive the signed declaration, we consider the application and tell you our decision. If you become a Chamber member, we use the data we need to administer your membership and contact you about it. Separate rules apply to the public member directory and newsletter.

If you are an individual entrepreneur acting on your own behalf, we process the necessary data to take steps at your request before establishing membership and to administer it after admission (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). We process representatives’ and contact persons’ data for the Chamber’s legitimate interest in verifying authority, communicating and administering membership (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). On the same basis, we retain the documents needed to confirm how the application was handled and the period of membership. In the event of a specific dispute, we process the data needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

What data we receive and from whom

We receive identification and registration details of the business, details of authorised representatives and the contact person, and statements made in the form. Fields marked with an asterisk are necessary for identification, communication and handling the application. You must complete them to submit the form. You can leave the other fields blank. Please provide only the information requested in the form.

If someone else provided your details, we received them from the person completing the declaration. Depending on your role, this includes your full name, your position and the contact details provided.

Who can access your data

Authorised staff who handle membership matters have access. Providers of hosting, system maintenance and backups may access the data as needed to perform their services. We process data within the European Economic Area.

How long we keep your data

We retain data for as long as we need it to handle your declaration. When we delete it depends on the outcome.

• If you do not deliver a signed declaration, we delete the form record after 60 days from its creation or from the last contact about completing the application, whichever is later.
• If you withdraw your application, we delete it 30 days after receiving the withdrawal.
• If we reject your application, we delete it six months after the appeal deadline. If you appeal, the period starts when the appeal is decided.
• If you join the Chamber, we delete the working copy within 90 days of confirming that the documents have been transferred to the files. We keep the signed declaration and the decision for the duration of membership and for three years after it ends.

If a law requires longer retention or a specific case is ongoing, we keep only the data needed to meet that obligation or resolve the case.

The completed PDF is generated when you download it. Access to the download expires after 30 minutes. The standard rotation provides for a weekly backup and retention of the four most recent backups. Backups made outside this cycle are subject to separate retention rules.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you can request access to your data, its rectification or erasure, or restriction of processing. Where processing is based on a legitimate interest, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. The right to data portability applies in the cases set out in Article 20 GDPR. You may lodge a complaint with the President of Poland’s Personal Data Protection Office. The Chamber’s Board decides on membership.
