The Privacy Policy in brief – plain language
This summary is meant to help you understand quickly what we do with your data. It does not replace the Privacy Policy. If in doubt, the full Polish text applies.
Who is responsible for your data
- The controller is dioica Konrad Rzentarzewski, ul. Tadeusza Joteyki 13/44, Warsaw, Poland.
- For data matters, write to kontakt@pero.ro or call +48 505 431 337.
What data we collect
- For your account and bookings: name, e-mail, phone, company details for invoicing, booking history, and which version of the Terms you accepted.
- For payments: status, amount and transaction number. We never see full card details; the payment operator handles them.
- When you write to us, chat with the on-site assistant or send a request from the knowledge base: the content of your message and any contact details you give.
- Your recordings: they sit on the studio devices for at most 3 business days. We don't listen to them and don't use them for anything.
- Camera images from the entrance and inside the studio, without sound.
- On the website: IP address, browser data, server logs and cookies.
Why we need this data
- To run your account, accept a booking, remind you about a session, and handle rescheduling, refunds and complaints.
- To issue an invoice and settle taxes, because the law requires it.
- To answer a question asked via the assistant or the form.
- To protect people and equipment in the studio (cameras) and to pursue claims if something happens.
- To list your podcast's name or logo among our clients. You can say no at any time.
- Visit statistics, error reports and YouTube videos on the website work only with your consent in the cookie settings.
- We make no automated decisions about you. The assistant answers from our published content, and every quote is prepared by a human.
Who we share data with
- Paynow (payments), Google (e-mail, calendar, YouTube, Analytics with consent), Cloudflare (website hosting and security), Postmark (e-mails from the portal), wfirma.pl (invoices), Sentry (error reports, with consent), and the EU-based server provider that stores the camera footage.
- Some of them may process data in the USA. We rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision (Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses.
- We disclose data to public authorities only when the law requires it. We don't sell data.
How long we keep data
- Account: until you delete it or we delete it after prolonged inactivity, then until claims expire.

Cameras in the studio
- One camera is in front of the entrance, several are inside the studio, and two video doorbells record images and work as a video intercom.
- We record images only, no sound. Nobody watches sessions or judges your recordings. The footage is never made public.
- We look at footage only when something happens: damaged equipment, a breach of the Terms, a safety threat. We hand it over only to authorised authorities.
- A notice about the cameras is at the entrance. Tell your guests about them.
Your rights
- You can ask for access to your data, a copy of it, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or transfer.
- You can object to processing based on our legitimate interest, including the cameras and being listed among our clients.

- Who has access. The Controller and persons authorised by the Controller. We review footage only when a specific event requires it, e.g. damage to or loss of equipment, a breach of the Terms or a safety threat. We disclose it only to authorised authorities on the basis of legal provisions.
- Where and for how long. Recordings are automatically sent to a server located in the European Union and stored for no longer than 90 days, after which they are overwritten. If a recording constitutes evidence in proceedings, we keep it until those proceedings end.
- Your rights. You have the rights described in section 7, including the right of access, restriction, objection and complaint to the President of the Personal Data Protection Office. The right of access to footage may be limited where required to protect the data of other people visible in the footage, or for the pursuit of claims and proceedings conducted by authorised authorities.
