This Notice constitutes a comprehensive regulation and declaration of compliance concerning the digital service providing access to the website located at https://talea.com.pl (the “Website”), operated by KANCELARIA ADWOKACKA TALEA ADW. DR TOMASZ WELANYK, with its registered seat in Kraków, Poland (“We,” “Us” or “Talea”).

Operator’s particulars: Tomasz Welanyk, attorney-at-law, entered on the list of advocates maintained by the Kraków Bar Association under number KRA/ADW/4223; address: ul. Karola Szymanowskiego 14/28, 30-047 Kraków, Poland; telephone: +48 509 403 969; e-mail: contact@talea.com.pl.

This Notice has been compiled as of 6 September 2026 and may be amended from time to time. Any material amendment shall require renewed acknowledgement at the Website’s entry screen.

By continuing to use the Website, You declare that You have acquainted Yourself with and understood this Notice and agree to abide by the terms in force at the time of Your use, notwithstanding Your acceptance at the entry screen.

Characteristics of the Website.

The Website provides information about TALEA’s legal practice. No information contained on the Website shall, by itself, establish a legal relationship between You and Us or create a privileged Client–Attorney relationship, and shall at no time, by itself, constitute informed legal advice.

The Website may contain legal information. TALEA uses reasonable efforts to ensure its legal correctness but does not ensure, warrant or otherwise guarantee that such information is correct, complete or current. The standard of diligence applicable to formal legal advice shall not apply to the Website’s content.

Initiating contact with Talea shall not by itself establish a Client–Attorney relationship. You shall not provide confidential, privileged or time-sensitive information before Talea confirms its ability to consider the matter and the absence of any conflict or other impediment to accepting the engagement.

The above applies to any and all contact channels and to any unsolicited materials or documents provided to Talea.

2. GDPR

Talea shall be the Controller of the personal data processed as described in this Notice.

Processing Activities:

Processing of technical data required for delivery, availability and security of the Website shall be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interest in operating and protecting the Website, preventing abuse and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, as well as Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and compliance with obligations arising from generally applicable law, wherever applicable.

Processing of personal data provided when You contact Talea shall be based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, insofar as You consent to such processing through the clear affirmative act of voluntarily providing the data for the purpose of receiving a response before establishment of a legal relationship; Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as processing is necessary to take steps at Your request before entering into a contract; and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interest in receiving and responding to communications, assessing the proposed engagement, conducting conflict and impediment checks, and establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. Article 6(1)(c) GDPR shall apply wherever processing is required by generally applicable law.

Following establishment of a legal relationship between You and Talea, particularly a Client–Attorney relationship, processing of personal data shall be based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR to the extent necessary for performance of the relevant contract; Article 6(1)(c) GDPR to the extent necessary for compliance with legal, regulatory and professional obligations arising from generally applicable law; and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interests in administering and documenting the relationship, securing communications, pursuing or defending claims and protecting its legal rights.

The talea_consent Local Storage record is stored locally in Your browser and is not transmitted to Talea or any processor. To the extent that information contained in that record constitutes personal data, its processing shall be based solely on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and compliance with obligations arising from generally applicable law.

[Possible processing]

We shall apply the data-processing policies set out in this Notice, as applicable, to unsolicited data provided through any contact channel identified on the Website. Due to the nature of unsolicited materials, the provisions of this Notice may not apply in full, and this Notice may not expressly identify every possible processing activity or every category of personal data contained in such materials.

Any and all personal data regarding persons other than the actual sender contained in unsolicited materials shall be processed, mutatis mutandis, with the standard of care provided for in this Notice and in accordance with applicable attorney ethical standards. The applicable legal basis for such processing shall be determined by Us during the review of the materials.

Personal data shall be retained only for the minimum period necessary, Talea’s legal obligations notwithstanding. Data minimisation shall be applied at all times, with due regard to the nature and volume of data freely provided by You, and such data shall be minimised at the earliest possible moment at which the factual circumstances and/or their intended use become clear.

Technical Website-request data and hosting or security logs shall be retained for no longer than necessary to deliver and secure the Website, prevent or investigate technical and security incidents and establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Such processing and retention shall be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interests in operating and protecting the Website and its legal rights, as well as Article 6(1)(c) GDPR wherever retention is required for compliance with obligations arising from generally applicable law, taking into account the retention periods applicable under the hosting service.

Where no legal relationship is established, personal data contained in preliminary communications shall be retained for no longer than necessary to respond to the communication, assess the proposed engagement, complete conflict or impediment checks and establish, exercise or defend legal claims, unless longer retention is required by generally applicable law. Such processing and retention shall be based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where consent results from Your clear affirmative action of voluntarily providing the data after accepting this Notice, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interests in documenting communications, conducting conflict and impediment checks and protecting its legal rights, and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR wherever retention is required by generally applicable law.

Where a legal relationship, especially a Client–Attorney relationship, is established between You and Us, personal data shall be retained for the duration of that relationship and thereafter for the periods required by generally applicable law, professional obligations and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Such processing and retention shall be based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR to comply with applicable legal, regulatory and professional obligations, and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and Talea’s legitimate interests in documenting the relationship and protecting its legal rights.

The acknowledgement recorded in the talea_consent Local Storage record shall remain effective for no longer than 12 months and shall cease to be effective earlier where renewed acknowledgement is required due to a material amendment of this Notice. The record itself may remain stored locally in Your browser until it is replaced or removed by the Website, cleared by You or deleted through Your browser settings. To the extent that the record constitutes personal data, its storage shall be based solely on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and compliance with obligations arising from generally applicable law. It shall not be retained by Talea or transmitted to Talea or any processor.

All applicable data-subject rights, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection and withdrawal of consent, where applicable, may be exercised by sending an e-mail to contact@talea.com.pl.

Where processing is based on consent, You shall have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal and shall not prevent further processing where such processing is required under another applicable legal basis.

Before establishment of a legal relationship, providing personal data through any contact channel identified on the Website is voluntary. Failure to provide data necessary to understand or respond to Your communication may prevent Us from responding, assessing the proposed engagement or conducting required conflict and impediment checks. Following establishment of a legal relationship, provision of specified personal data may be required by the relevant contract, generally applicable law or applicable professional obligations; failure to provide such data may prevent or restrict the establishment, performance or continuation of that relationship.

Acknowledgement of this Notice at the Website’s entry screen shall be voluntary. The sole consequence of refusing to provide such acknowledgement shall be the inability to access or use the Website, or the relevant part thereof, respectively.

The same rights shall apply to personal data contained in any and all materials provided to Us, unless generally applicable law or this Notice expressly provides otherwise.
