and the repeal of the directive 95/46/WE) provides for several types of legal grounds for data
processing, in our case:
- The necessity of processing to conclude or perform the contract to which you are a party.
For us, the agreement is primarily the Terms and Conditions of Sale as well as the License
Agreement. If, therefore, we conclude an agreement with you for the implementation of a
specific service, we can process your data to the extent necessary to implement this
contract. Their processing serves, among others, the fulfillment of statutory obligations (e.g.
archiving for tax and accounting purposes).
- The necessity of processing for purposes arising from our legitimate interests. They include,
among others, the need to ensure the security of our services, proper customer service,
technical assistance, statistical measurements, improvement of our services, matching them

express two consents – consent to receive instructional materials and notifications about

about special offers for Starline services via e-mail. Granting such consent is entirely
voluntary, and you do not have to give it if you do not want to. You can change your
consents at any time.
Until when will we store your data related to registration in our system and use of our services?
Below you will find regulations regarding the length of storing your data:
- In the event of the necessity of data for the performance of the contract, your data will be
processed for the duration of the contract and archived for one year from the date of its
termination. Archiving this data is in your best interest – it enables you to quickly restore
deactivated services. Due to the necessity of fulfilling tax and accounting obligations, some
of this personal data will be stored for a period of 6 years from the date of execution of
individual sales contracts.
- Where the basis for data processing is the legitimate interest of the controller, until such
justified interest exists.
