Data controller

The controller of your personal data is DragonFly · Jarosław Wasiński, with its registered office in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland (42-612), ul. Srebrna 47, entered into the commercial register under number KRS , tax ID NIP , REGON . For any matter related to the processing of personal data please contact us at [email protected].

Purposes and legal bases of processing

We process the personal data of forex-basics.com users for the purposes described below. First: providing the service electronically — making the portal's content available — on the basis of GDPR Article 6(1)(b) (performance of a contract for the supply of content). Google Analytics is not currently loaded on forex-basics.com. The Polish site has separate analytics consent settings, described in its cookies policy. Additionally: handling correspondence — when you write to us by email — on the basis of GDPR Article 6(1)(f).

Categories of data we collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect the following data. For a regular visit: IP address, browser type, operating system, time of visit, pages visited, referral source. If you send a question by email: your sender address and the content of your message. For an error report sent to the editorial team: email address and the message body.

We do not collect special categories of data (Article 9 GDPR) — no health data, no religious beliefs, no political opinions, no biometric data. We also do not collect financial data — we do not process transactions, accept payments or maintain accounts.

Retention periods

Emails received by the editorial team are stored for 3 years from the date of arrival, for correspondence management and continuity of conversation. Anonymised Google Analytics statistics are stored according to the Google Analytics 4 settings — by default 14 months, after which they are automatically deleted. Technical data (server logs) are kept for a maximum of 90 days, for security and diagnostic purposes.

Your rights regarding personal data

Under GDPR Articles 15–22, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data. The right of access (Article 15) — you can ask which of your data we process and request a copy. The right of rectification (Article 16) — you can request correction of inaccurate data. The right of erasure (Article 17, "right to be forgotten") — you can request that your data be deleted when there is no basis for further processing. The right of restriction of processing (Article 18) — in defined situations you can require that we stop actively using the data, although we may continue to store it. The right of data portability (Article 20) — you can receive your data in a machine-readable format (such as JSON) for transfer to another controller. The right of objection (Article 21) — you can object to processing carried out on the basis of the controller's legitimate interest. To exercise any of these rights, simply write to [email protected].

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority — in Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (uodo.gov.pl). We do, however, encourage you to write to us first — most issues are resolved directly and considerably faster than through the authority.
