Please be informed that Bearstone Global sp. z o.o. with its registered seat in Warsaw as the Data Controller is committed to protecting Your privacy and ensuring the security of personal data, which it processes.
This information sets out how personal data are collected and used in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, i.e. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016). In particular, it fulfils the obligation to provide a data processing notice under Article 14(5)(b) of the GDPR and national legislation.
We may process Personal Data under the following conditions:
Consent: You have given Your consent for processing Personal Data for one or more specific purposes.
Performance: of a contract: Provision of Personal Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with You, a third party and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof.
Legal obligations: Processing Personal Data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Company is subject.
Vital interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary to protect Your vital interests or of another natural person.
Public interests: Processing Personal Data is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Company.
Legitimate interests: Processing Personal Data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company.
In any case, the Company will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision or obtaining of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
The controller of personal data, i.e., the entity which decides how personal data entrusted and processed in connection with its activities will be used, is the Company.
In the course of its business activity and for the purpose of proper performance thereof, the Data Controller processes, among others, publicly available personal data, in particular data extracted from public registers. Such data shall be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes of performance of agreements concluded by the Data Controller.
Referring to the exceptions indicated in Article 14(5)(b) and (d) of the GDPR, We inform You that it may occur in Your case that We waive some of the rights with regard to the obligation to provide a data processing notice when We obtain personal data by means other than from the data subject.
This is the case if providing You with such information would be impossible or would require a disproportionate effort, or if complying with the obligation to provide a data processing notice would make it impossible or significantly more difficult to achieve the purpose for which We process Your personal data, or if it would involve a breach of professional secrecy binding for licensed detectives.
In Our activity, such cases will primarily, but not exclusively, involve the processing of data obtained in the course of provided detective services or from publicly available sources, where the fulfilment of the obligation to provide a data processing notice would negate the purpose of the processing of Your data, i.e., the purpose of Our clients commissioning Us with particular activities as part of Our activity, or would even violate the statutory obligation to maintain professional secrecy.
Cases in which there is an exemption from the information obligation may be frequent. Given the specific nature of Our business, in the course of executing agreements with Our clients, it often happens that data originating from detective services is combined with data from publicly available sources and reported to the client. As a rule, the data does not originate from the subject. In such a situation, fulfilment of the obligation to provide a data processing notice would defeat the purpose of the entire agreement, the legitimate interest of Our client and would violate the obligation of professional secrecy.
The impossibility to fulfil the obligation may also be related to the lack of sufficient data to fulfil the obligation to provide a data processing notice. In this case, the data minimisation principle of Article 5(1)(c) of the GDPR applies, as to comply with the information obligation, We would have to obtain more personal data than it is necessary for Us to fulfil the purposes for which We process the data, beyond the scope of Your data processed by Us.
We assure You, however, that We treat and analyse each case of exemption from the obligation to provide a data processing notice individually.
In the event that You are the subject of detective activities, or We process Your publicly available data as part of Our services, We will only process some of Your data for as long as We provide the service to the client associated with You. In each case this period should not exceed a few months. We will subsequently pass on Your data to the client and permanently delete it ourselves. If the client does not receive the data, We will archive the data in an encrypted form for a period of 5 years of the date of termination of the service.
If You are Our client or client's representative, We will process Your data for the duration of the performance of the agreement on Your behalf or on behalf of the entity You represent and until expiry of the statute of limitations for mutual claims arising from the performance of the agreement.
If You are Our subcontractor, We will process Your data for the duration of the service provided to Us and until the expiry of the statute of limitations for mutual claims arising from the performance of the service. If You have given separate consent, We will include You in Our internal subcontractor database until You withdraw Your consent.
In performance of Our business activity, We process the following (non-sensitive) categories of personal data depending on the case: first name, surname, age, domicile, registered address, PESEL, ID card/other document series and number (e.g. passport), tax identification number, date and place of birth, telephone number, profession, salary, marital status, nationality, education, e-mail address, internet identifiers, IP addresses, cookie identifiers - generated by devices, applications, tools and protocols, voice recording of a telephone conversation, vehicle licence plates, gender, information about being in a specific place, image (not as biometric data).
We only ever process data that are necessary in a specific case and never as ‘back-up’.
The recipients of the personal data collected by Us as part of the services We provide as part of Our business activities are Our customers who use the services.
The Company undertakes to respect the confidentiality of Your Personal Data and to guarantee You can exercise Your rights. You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU, to:
Personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area, including within the group to which the Data Controller belongs, i.e. to Bearstone Global Ltd. with its registered seat in Great Britain.

Your personal data may also be transferred outside the EEA as part of the performance of contracts for Our customers outside the EEA - but always within the limits of and in compliance with the relevant data protection legislation, i.e. only if possible and in compliance with the relevant data processing rules.
