Recruitment 

Information on our processing of personal data of job applicants is available at http://www.benefitsystems.pl/o-nas/kariera/obowiazek-informacyjny-dla-kandydata/

Marketing 

General information  

The way in which we process personal data for marketing purposes depends on the type of relationship between us (e.g. whether you have signed up on our website or mobile application, whether you are our customer or counterparty) and the consents you have given us.

Our marketing activities may include displaying advertisements to you on websites or applications, presenting offers or advertisements via a communication channel such as e-mail or telephone (if you have authorised us to deliver marketing content to you via the communication channel of your choice, e.g. e-mail, SMS/MMS, telephone, push notifications), traditional marketing mailings, conducting analyses and statistics for marketing purposes and conducting service satisfaction surveys, including by contacting you by means of the communication channel of your choice. We can also perform profiling for marketing purposes.

 

Tailored marketing 

We may process your personal data for marketing purposes, including for profiling, in the following cases: 

  • if you consent to the storage of cookies or similar technologies on your device, we may use the information collected by means of those technologies to provide you with advertisements or offers tailored to your potential interests identified on the basis of the content you view and your activity. For example, if you browse pages related to MultiSport packages, we will be able to display you an advertisement for MultiSport or our other services on other websites and in applications; 

  • if you are a registered user of our website or application and you log in to your account, we will be able to associate information on the content you viewed with you, and use it for profiling purposes to better adjust our marketing communication and offer for you; 

  • if you have authorised us to deliver marketing content to you via the communication channel of your choice

  • if we concluded a contract or cooperate

  • if you agree to our use of information about the location of your device (e.g. smartphone), we will be able to display to you advertisements or offers relevant to your location. For example, we will be able to show you an invitation to an event held to celebrate the opening of our new fitness club nearby; 

  • to conduct analyses and statistics for our marketing needs and to test your satisfaction with the services we offer by contacting you via the communication channel of your choice. We can also present you with unprofiled advertisements and offers. 

What is profiling for marketing purposes? 

Our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes involves profiling.

Profiling is the use of automatic processing of your data to draw conclusions about your potential interests and preferences. By profiling, we can match products, offers and advertisements to you in the best way possible. As part of profiling, we can also combine information that you leave us when using our different products and services, such as information that you leave when visiting our website or application, using the MultiSport or MultiLife Programme, the Cafeteria, or the services of our Fitness Club.

For profiling, we use tools provided by specialised third parties. See our “Cookies Policy” for more information about our partners and the possibility of adjusting your advertising preferences. We seek to ensure that profiling brings you clear benefits: offers, promotions and advertisements that you may find interesting. In this way, we want to ensure we do not present you with content that might be inappropriate or unattractive for you. Example: if we determine that you are a woman and as part of the MultiSport Programme you regularly attend dance classes in a particular location, this will give us a signal that you may be interested in new dance classes in your favourite location, but you are probably not interested in martial art classes in another, distant city.

 

Our legitimate interest and your interests, rights and freedoms  

We process your personal data for marketing purposes, including profiling, based on our legitimate interest. For this reason, we have assessed whether your interests, rights and freedoms (e.g. the right to privacy) outweigh our interests. This assessment has shown that we can process your personal data in the indicated manner, because:  

  • we process your personal data for marketing purposes only when we find that you can reasonably expect that processing (e.g. you are a user of the MultiSport card or Fitness Club subscription, you sign up on our website or in our application, and consent to receiving marketing e-mails from us); 

  • we will send you marketing communications via e-mail, SMS/MMS or phone calls only with your consent; 

  • we will send you marketing communications about products or services of third parties not affiliated with Benefit Systems via e-mail, SMS/MMS or phone calls only if you separately consent to those communications; 

  • we enable you to easily object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and we inform you about this right; 

  • our profiling for marketing purposes does not excessively interfere with your privacy. We focus on what products or services available on our offer you may find interesting. We do not want to provide you with content that you might find unattractive. Based on our profiling, we do not take any decisions against you with adverse legal effects (e.g. refusal to conclude a contract) or that might significantly affect you in a similar way.  

  • we use technical and organisational measures that adequately protect your personal data. 

Social media

Depending on your privacy settings in the indicated external platform, we can also receive other data. Before using this service, read the terms and conditions for using the data by the external platform.

The data are also further processed for other purposes specified by those entities. This applies to all users of our websites, regardless of whether they are registered users of those social media portals.

We process and enable social media portals to access specified data based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). This consists in enabling you to share your content of interest on social media, facilitating your logging in, and promoting our business, services and products. Detailed information on the processing of your personal data and the method of exercising your rights related to data processing by social medial portals are described in the privacy policies of respective portals. Please read them.

Is providing data compulsory? 

As a rule, providing personal data is not compulsory, but may be necessary for you to use the services provided by Benefit Systems, e.g. to enter into an agreement with us, to participate in our competitions or to have a matter your raise examined. Therefore, your failure to provide your data may in some instances make it impossible for us to provide services or undertake other actions. Our forms used to collect data clearly indicate the data the provision of which is necessary.

Who do we disclose your data to? 

Your personal data may be disclosed to the following entities: entities from Benefit Systems Group companies [link], hosting and maintenance service providers for our websites and applications, ICT and IT support and security service providers, data storage and destruction service providers, providers of services that are in addition to the services we provide you with, our Partners (sports and recreation, entertainment, and cultural facilities, hotels, offices and tourist intermediaries), entities that have enabled you to use the MultiSport Programme, MultiLife, Cafeteria or other services (usually your employer or the employer of the person who reported you to the MultiSport or MultiLife Programme), card printers, social network operators, payment operators, firms supporting us in debt collection, entities providing services related to serving our clients, and to other stakeholders (e.g. couriers) and to those entities which support our marketing activities, as well as to legal advisors and auditors.

Your data may also be disclosed to public authorities in cases provided for by law.

Are your data transferred outside the European Economic Area? 

As a rule, your personal data are not transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Some of the parties to whom we may provide data are established outside the EEA. We make every effort for the provision of data to be lawful and that all relevant safeguards are in place. Such efforts include in particular application of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. You can contact us to obtain copies of the implemented safeguards. You can find contact details above in section How to contact us? [link]
