Privacy policy

What this site knows about you, why, and for how long.

Last updated: September 14, 2026

Who is responsible for your data

The controller of personal data collected through this site is Strona dla hodowcy ("we", "us", "the operator").

For anything to do with personal data, write to pawel@stronadlahodowcy.pl.

This policy covers stronadlahodowcy.pl and nothing else. There is no shop, there is no account to create, and you need give us nothing at all in order to read the site.

What we collect

We ask you for nothing. Some information comes into being by itself the moment your browser fetches a page:

  • Technical data recorded by the server: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring page, and your browser name and version.
  • Visit statistics — only with your consent: which pages are read and for how long, from which country and kind of device. Google stores a random identifier in your browser to do it.
  • Your answer to the cookie question: the decision itself, when you gave it, and which version of the question it answered. It stays in your browser’s local storage and is never sent anywhere.
  • The content of any message you send us, together with the email address or phone number it came from.
  • What you type into the contact form: your name, email address, an optional subject, and your message.

We build no profiles, we make no automated decisions about you, and we sell your data to nobody.

Why we hold it, and on what basis

Each of the purposes above has its own legal basis under the GDPR:

  • Serving the site and keeping it secure — our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in running a working site that resists abuse.
  • Visit statistics — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without it Google’s script is never even fetched.
  • Measuring our advertising with Meta Pixel — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Until you give it, it is never loaded.
  • Measuring our advertising with Google Ads — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Until you give it, Google may not use anything about your visit for advertising.
  • Replying to your message — our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), and where your enquiry concerns an offer, steps taken before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • A message sent through the contact form — the same bases as replying above: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where your enquiry concerns an offer, steps taken before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

You can withdraw consent at any time, without giving a reason. Withdrawal does not undo what happened before it, but from that moment nothing further is collected.

Cookies and browser storage

This site has no login and no basket, so it keeps very little in your browser. What follows is exactly what the banner asks about on your first visit:

Necessary — the record of your cookie answer, in local storage, under the key "cookie-consent". It is not a cookie, so it is never sent to the server; it exists only so that we do not ask you twice. It survives even a refusal of everything else, because that refusal is the very thing it remembers.

Necessary — the language you picked from the menu, in a cookie named "firebase-language-override", for up to a year. It carries no identifier and exists so that our server can hand you the right page in the right language on your next visit, instead of guessing from your browser again.

Statistics — Google Analytics cookies: "_ga" (a browser identifier, up to 2 years) and "_ga_*" (the session). They are created only after you consent, and we delete them the moment you withdraw.

Advertising — Meta Pixel cookies: "_fbp" (a browser identifier) and, if you arrived from an ad, "_fbc". They are created only after you consent, and we delete them the moment you withdraw.

Advertising — Google Ads cookies: "_gcl_au" and, if you arrived from a Google ad, "_gcl_aw". They are written by the Google Analytics script, so they can only exist if you consent to both statistics and advertising. We delete them the moment you withdraw advertising consent.

Strictly necessary
Needed for the site to work and to remember this very choice. They do not identify you and they reach nobody but us.
Statistics
Google Analytics 4 — anonymous visit statistics: which pages get read and where visitors arrive from. Without this consent Google's script is never loaded at all. Cookies: _ga, _ga_*, up to 2 years.
Advertising
Measuring how our advertising performs: Meta Pixel and Google Ads. Without this consent nothing about your visit is passed on for advertising. Cookies: _fbp, _fbc, _gcl_au, _gcl_aw.

You can change your choice at any time:

You can also block cookies in the browser itself. Blocking them will not break this site — but we will ask you again on every visit, because there will be nowhere to keep your answer.

Who else sees it

We neither sell nor trade data. We do use services that process it on our behalf:

  • Google Ireland Limited (and Google LLC) — hosting, database and files: Firebase Hosting, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage. Server logs go there, and so do the photographs.
  • Google Ireland Limited (and Google LLC) — Google Analytics 4, only with your consent.
  • Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (and Meta Platforms, Inc.) — Meta Pixel, only with your consent, to measure our advertising.
  • Google Ireland Limited (and Google LLC) — Google Ads, only with your consent, to measure our advertising.

Google may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Such transfers rest on the European Commission’s adequacy decision (the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) and on standard contractual clauses.

We run advertising through Meta and use Meta Pixel to measure it, only with your consent. It is never loaded until you give it, and Meta’s own privacy policy describes what they do with what it sends.

Some of those events reach Meta from our own server rather than from your browser (the Meta Conversions API), which is why they still count if you block advertising scripts. That includes a message sent through the contact form: Meta is told that somebody got in touch, together with your email address and first name as an irreversible hash (SHA-256) — never in the clear, and never the content of your message. All of it only with your advertising consent; without it we send nothing, and your message reaches us either way.

We advertise on Google Ads. When you get in touch — send a message, or click our email address or phone number — we record that in Google Analytics as an event: without the content of your message, your address or your name. If you consented to advertising, Google Ads may link that event to a click on one of our ads, so we know which ad works. Without that consent the event goes to our statistics only — and only if you consented to those.

How long we keep it

  • Server logs — up to 30 days, per Google Cloud’s defaults.
  • Google Analytics data — at most 14 months from your last visit.
  • The record of your consent — 12 months, after which we ask again. You can remove it sooner by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
  • Correspondence — as long as it takes to deal with the matter, and afterwards until any related claims are time-barred.
  • A contact-form message — the same as correspondence above.

Your rights

In respect of your data you have the right:

  • to see it and to receive a copy,
  • to have anything inaccurate or incomplete corrected,
  • to have it erased (the "right to be forgotten"),
  • to ask us to restrict how it is processed,
  • to have it moved to another controller,
  • to object to processing based on our legitimate interest,
  • to withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you were asked for it.

To exercise any of them, simply write to us. We answer within a month; if the request turns out to be a complicated one we will tell you so, and it may take up to three.

If you believe we are handling your data unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us their data, write to us and we will delete it.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS only and hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. Its public half has no login and no forms, so there is no account here for anyone to take over. The panel where its content is edited is a separate application, open only to named accounts.

California residents

If you live in California, the CCPA (as amended by the CPRA) gives you these further rights:

  • to know which categories of data we collect, for what purpose, from which sources, and with whom we share them,
  • to access the specific pieces of data we hold about you,
  • to request their deletion,
  • to request their correction,
  • to equal service — exercising any of these rights costs you nothing here.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising within the meaning of the CCPA. We never have.

We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends it we treat it as a refusal and analytics never starts — wherever in the world you are. You can override it with an explicit choice in the cookie settings.

We respond to CCPA requests within 45 days.

Changes to this policy

If what the site does changes, this policy changes with it — the date at the top always says when it last did. Where the change touches what the cookie banner asks, we will ask you again: an answer to the old question is not an answer to the new one.
