Data controller
The controller of personal data processed on Ogonio (ogonio.pl) is [NAZWA OPERATORA], [ADRES]. For anything related to personal data, email kontakt@ogonio.pl. This policy describes processing under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR).
Server and logs
The site runs on a VPS from Contabo GmbH in the European Union. Like almost every web server, it keeps technical logs: IP address, browser information, the address of the page visited and the time of the visit. We use them only for security and to detect outages, and keep them for up to 14 days. Contabo processes this data on our behalf as a processor.
Quizzes and calculators
Your answers in the breed quizzes and the data you enter into the calculators (weight, age, mating date) are processed only in your browser. We do not send them to the server and we do not store them.
Contact form
When you send a message through the contact form, we receive your name, email address, topic and message. The message is emailed to the editorial mailbox. We use this data only to reply, and keep it as long as the correspondence requires, for a maximum of 2 years.
Comments on the guide
You can leave a comment under articles in our guide (in Polish). We store the name or signature you give and the text of the comment. To limit spam we also store a one-way hash of your IP address, from which the address itself cannot be recovered. We never publish IP addresses. We will delete a comment at your request.
What your browser stores
We save a few settings in your browser's storage (localStorage) so the site remembers them. These are not cookies and they never reach our server. The full list is in the cookie policy: accessibility settings, the parts of a guide series you have read, the name you entered with a comment, and your choice in the consent banner.
Analytics and ads
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 (through Google Tag Manager) to measure traffic: which pages are visited, where readers come from and how they use the site. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Data is kept in Google Analytics for no longer than 14 months. Google may transfer data to Google LLC in the USA under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Article 45 GDPR) and standard contractual clauses.
You can withdraw consent at any time with the "Cookie settings" button in the footer. Until you consent, Google receives no cookies or identifiers.
We show no ads.
Third-party content
- Breed photos come from Wikimedia Commons (license and author with every photo, full list on the photo credits page). We serve them from our own server, so your browser does not connect to Wikimedia.
- Fonts are hosted locally, without Google Fonts.
Affiliate links
There are currently no active affiliate links on the site. If we add them, the store's own privacy policy applies once you go to the store. Details: affiliate links.
Legal bases
- Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest): replying to messages, moderating comments, protecting against spam and keeping the site secure.
- Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), together with Article 399 of the Polish Electronic Communications Law: analytics, if we turn it on. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Recipients
Data may go only to providers who run the site on our behalf: the hosting company Contabo GmbH (servers in the EU), which also runs our mail server. With your consent, analytics data goes to Google Ireland Limited. We do not sell data or share it for marketing.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with the Polish data protection authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, uodo.gov.pl), or with the authority in your own EU country. To exercise these rights, email kontakt@ogonio.pl. We will reply without undue delay and within one month at the latest. We make no automated decisions and do not profile users.
Changes
When the way we process data changes, we will update this page. The date of the last change is shown at the top.
