Data Controller
Dear Clients, I, Magdalena Pszczółkowska, operating a notarial firm on Emilii Plater Street in Warsaw, am the controller of your personal data within the meaning of the EU GDPR regulations. Ensuring the highest standards of confidentiality is the absolute foundation of practicing a profession of public trust. As a civil law notary in the Warsaw city center, I take unflagging care to ensure that all information entrusted to me is fully and properly protected against unauthorized access.
Purpose and Legal Basis for Data Processing
- Statutory obligation: Your personal data is processed primarily for the purpose of drafting notarial deeds and performing other acts regulated by the Law on Notaries. Pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation in this case. Regardless of whether you are interested in an apartment sale before a notary or a certificate of inheritance, the collected information serves exclusively the reliable execution of strict state procedures.
- No profiling: Under no circumstances does my firm use your data for marketing purposes, profile it using automated systems, or share it with third parties for commercial purposes.
Information Protection and Professional Secrecy
- Strict notarial secrecy: This is the inviolable basis of all my actions. While performing my daily duties as a civil law notary in the Śródmieście district, I am subject to extremely strict statutory requirements that mandate maintaining absolute secrecy regarding the circumstances of every case I learn about in connection with the performed acts.
- Retention period: According to the Law on Notaries, the generated notarial documentation must obligatorily be archived for a period of ten years from its creation. Even a seemingly simple sale of a plot of land before a notary requires the careful securing of physical files, which are transferred to the land and mortgage register archive of the competent district court after the aforementioned period has expired.
Data Subject Rights
- Rights under the GDPR: You have a number of rights related to the ongoing processing of your personal data. You have the full right to access your information, the right to rectify it, and the right to request the restriction of its processing. However, please keep in mind that the specific nature of the firm’s work and overriding regulations (the Law on Notaries) effectively exclude the possibility of exercising the right to erasure (the so-called right to be forgotten) before the statutory retention period expires.
- Privacy contact: Should you have any questions regarding the protection of sensitive information, I warmly encourage you to contact me directly. I will be happy to answer them during a visit to the office, by phone, or by email, guaranteeing full transparency and clarity regarding the rules of my work.
