For what purpose and on what basis do we process your data?
For what purpose and on what basis we process your data depends on how you use our services or contact us and what your role is. We have described each of the situations below.
Use of the site without registration
We process your data in order to provide the functionality of our site. These functionalities are mainly the ability to browse the content of the site, the ability to use the web chat and contact forms, customizing the content of the site according to your preferences.
In such case, we do this to enable you to use the site and its functionality.
We process data about your use of the site, which we obtain through essential cookies and similar technologies and use to ensure the proper operation of the Site, in particular the ability to navigate the Site and use its basic functions.
We process data about your use of the site, which we obtain through functional cookies and similar technologies and use to “remember” the settings you have selected and to personalize the site, on the basis of our legitimate interest in enabling us to “remember” the settings you have selected and to personalize the site.
We process data about your use of the site, which we obtain through analytical cookies and similar technologies and use to provide analytics and statistics on users’ use of the site in order to improve its performance – which involves, for example, analyzing how users navigate the site to understand how users use the site and make it more intuitive and convenient to use in the future, on the basis of your consent to the processing of personal data.

For details on cookies, see below under Cookies.
Registration on the site and provision of services
Registration is required for the user to use our services via the NapoleonCat application.
Due to the nature of the social media platforms for which we provide services, registration is always performed by a specific individual. It can be an individual user on such individual’s own behalf (a “user”), or it can be an individual on behalf of a user (e.g. an employee or agent of a user) (an “associate” of the user).
As such, we may process your personal data if you are our user or an associate of the user registered on our site.
When registering, you will be asked to provide your personal data. In the case of a user who is an individual, this will be such user’s personal data. If, however, registration is performed by an associate of the user on behalf of the user, the associate will be asked to provide personal data of both the associate and the user.
In both cases, data is processed for the purpose of entering into and performing a services agreement between us and the user, in connection with registration.
Business contacts – users, business partners and their associates
Whether you register on our site or not, in the course of our business we interact with current or potential users (customers), business partners, suppliers, as well as individuals who are their associates (e.g., members of bodies, proxies, employees, contractors, associates, etc.). Such communication can take place through various channels – for example, in the form of emails or by telephone, and in such a case we process personal data of individuals involved in such communication. In addition to this, the data of such individuals may be provided, for example, in our commercial agreements (as the data of signatories or contact persons).
As such, we may process your personal data if you are one of the above-named individuals.
Where a commercial agreement is entered into with an individual, we process data to establish, exercise or defend potential legal claims that may arise in connection with the performance of such agreement. As regards associates of our users, business partners, suppliers, etc., we process data for day-to-day contacts in the course of business and the conclusion and performance of agreements and the possibility of establishing, exercising or defending potential legal claims that may arise in connection with the performance of agreements.
Marketing
We process your data for our own marketing purposes—i.e. promoting our services.
Marketing purposes include presenting you with offers and promotions, offering you additional functionalities, including but not limited to, broadcasting advertisements on third-party sites (such as Facebook or Google).
If you consent, we may also send you commercial information about our products in the manner of your choice – e.g., via email, SMS/MMS, telephone, push notifications or other electronic communications. In such case, we will use your data to send you commercial information in the manner of your choice.
Contact forms
We provide contact forms and web chat on the site to make it easier for you to contact us. To use a form, you need to provide your personal data necessary to be contacted and to receive a reply to your inquiry. You may also provide other data to facilitate contact or handle your inquiry. In such case, we process your data in order to identify you and handle your inquiry.
Profiles on social media platforms – owned by the user
As part of our services, we provide our users with an interface and IT tools that enable them to communicate on their profiles on the social media platforms included in our site. Users (or, on their behalf, their associates) may post content on these social media platforms and communicate with other end users of these social media platforms. This includes direct communication platforms like Facebook Messenger.
As such, in providing our service, we process all data that our users (or their associates, respectively) post to or receive from such social media platforms or communication platforms through us – we act as a passive intermediary transferring the data between the user (or the user’s associate) and the social media platform operators. This information may include personal data about you or your associates and third-party visitors to your profiles on the social media platforms covered by our service (e.g., identifying information on the social media platforms), as well as the content of communications (posts, comments, etc.)
We process the data in order to provide our services to the user and to perform our agreement with him/her.

Profiles on social media platforms – owned by NapoleonCat

This data is processed in connection with the maintenance of our profile, including for the purpose of informing users about our activities and promoting various events, services and products, as well as communicating with users through these social media platforms. If you communicate with us on such social media platforms, we may process your data contained in such communications in order to promote our own brand and building and maintaining a brand-related community.
In addition, we would like to inform you that the operators of the social media platforms on which we have profiles process the personal data of their users and visitors to those profiles, including through the use of cookies. For details on the processing of personal data by operators of social media platforms, please refer to their published privacy policies or terms of use.
Controller’s other own purposes
We also process your data for other purposes that constitute our legitimate interests, such as:
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, including in connection with the provision of our services;
- contacting you – to respond to your notifications and requests for contact, complaints, to be able to contact you on matters related to the provision of our services, to inform you of any amendments to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy;
- verifying accounts, investigating suspicious activity, detecting and preventing fraud and other violations of law or the Terms and Conditions;
- for the purpose of monitoring, testing and improving our services and resolving any related issues;
In addition to this, we process our users’ data for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations, arising in particular from tax and accounting regulations, including to ensure accountability (to demonstrate our compliance with legal obligations). We cooperate with law enforcement agencies and other institutions authorized to request access to your data based on applicable laws.
From whom we collect your personal data
Data collected directly from the data subject or the user
We collect your personal data mainly from you. You provide data to us, for example, when you create an account on the site, sign up for newsletters or other forms of marketing.
If you are an associate of our user or business partner, we may have received your data from the user or business partner or from other of their associates – for example, if you are a contact person in respect of a particular agreement or involved in a particular project, or if you interact with the user on the social media platforms covered by our service.
You can also provide us with your personal data by communicating with us – e.g. asking questions about services, submitting complaints – on the site via e-mail, on social media platforms, by phone or by mail.
In addition, we process your data on how you use the site from our offers and services.
Registration and login using your Facebook account
Your personal data may also be provided to us by the social network Facebook, at your request. This applies if you want to register with us using Facebook functionality. Using this option, you will first be asked by Facebook to confirm that it can provide us with your data to the extent necessary to register with us. With your consent, Facebook will provide us with some of your data for registration purposes. To complete the registration process, you may need to complete your profile with additional personal data. Once you have created an account with us, you will be able to log in to our site using the functionality offered by Facebook.
Sending commercial information by electronic means
If you consent to receiving commercial information by electronic means (e.g., via e-mail or through tools such as push notifications, web chat or chatbot), sending such information shall mean sending commercial information by electronic means and may also constitute direct marketing through the use of telecommunications terminal equipment conducted using automatic calling devices – depending on the device on which you receive such communications.
If you consent to being contacted by phone or SMS for marketing purposes, commercial information shall be transmitted by phone to the phone number provided by you for this purpose. Such contact will constitute direct marketing using telecommunications terminal equipment and may be conducted using automated calling devices.
You can withdraw such consents at any time, or restrict the manner which we use to send you such information – for details see below under “Withdrawal of consent and objection to processing” section.
Profiling for marketing purposes
In some cases, for marketing purposes, we make automated decisions based on profiling, i.e. automatic processing of your personal data. Profiling is a way of processing personal data that involves, among other things, using personal data to analyze or predict personal preferences, interests, etc. The use of profiling makes it possible to customize advertising and content presented to the user.
The profiling we use involves using computer algorithms to analyze your personal data (your behavior on the site, how you use the application, data collected through cookies, as well as the personal data you provide) in order to display to you directly on the site, or in direct marketing (emails, SMS/MMS, phone marketing, push notifications, web chat or chatbot, etc.), as well as on third-party websites (so-called remarketing), customized offers based on your potential preferences and interests that may relate to our services.
As a rule, the basis for profiling is our legitimate interest in marketing our own services in a way that matches your hypothetical preferences. However, in some cases we ask you to give consent to selected forms of marketing or automated decision-making towards you on the basis of profiling.
How long do we retain your data?
The period of time for which we may retain your personal data depends on the purpose for processing and compliance with applicable law. More specifically:
- where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent – until you withdraw such consent;
- in the case of processing for the purpose of performing an agreement with you – for the term or performance of the agreement, and thereafter, for the period of limitation of claims that may arise in connection with the performance of the agreement under the law;
- in the case of processing for the purpose of complying with our legal obligations – for a period of time resulting from generally applicable laws;
- in the case of processing on the basis of our legitimate interest – until such interest ceases to exist (e.g., the period of limitation for claims) or until you object – in situations where such an objection should be accepted in accordance with the law.
However, the data processing period may be extended where the processing is necessary to establish, exercise and defend any legal claims, or for the purpose of complying with obligations relating to the accountability of the processing, and thereafter only if and to the extent permitted by law.
Whom do we share your data with?
Entities processing data on our behalf
We share personal data with companies whose services we use to comply with our obligations to you or to conduct our business, in accordance with the purposes of the processing. Accordingly, your personal data that is required for the relevant purpose may be shared with the following recipients:
- in the case of payments for our services – entities that act as intermediaries in processing payments, for the purposes of such service, banks;
- companies that provide us with technology solutions and services required to provide the functionality of our site;
- marketing, analytics and statistical service providers that help us understand what our customers are interested in and create offers, promotions, as well as customize marketing;
- companies that conduct direct marketing on our behalf (e.g., sending emails) or other advertising services;
- companies that provide ongoing customer service – to provide such service;
- companies that provide accounting, legal, auditing, consulting or tax advisory services for us;
- providers of standard services related to handling and storage of information – providers of hosting, email, IT infrastructure, database maintenance and other IT services.
We also share your data with our authorized employees and associates.
Operators of social media platforms
In addition to the above, as specified under “Profiles on social media platforms – owned by the User” section above, to the extent that we provide a data transfer tool between the user (or the user’s associate) and the social media platforms, we share information relating to users their associates which may contain their personal data, with the operators of those social media platforms, and we transfer to the user (or user’s associate), from the operators of the social media platforms information relating to third parties who contact the user via those platforms, which may contain personal information.
However, given the principles of integrating our service with social media platforms, each of our users (or user’s associate) and a third party has his or her own account with a social media platform, and the operator of the social media platform is also the controller of his or her data under a separate agreement entered into by the operator directly with the user (or the user’s associate, respectively) or the third party. As such, in terms of such data transfer, we act only as a passive intermediary providing a tool for data transfer between our user (or user’s associate) and a separate controller, which is the operator of the social platform in question.
Public authorities
We may also be required to share personal data with entities authorized to obtain them under applicable laws, such as law enforcement agencies and other public institutions.
Transfer of data outside the United States
Data in the NapoleonCat application are processed outside of the United States. In the course of providing our services, we use third-party services and therefore your personal data may be transferred outside the United States. In order to adequately safeguard personal data, we use the standard contractual clauses that comply with applicable laws in our relationship with the aforementioned entities, and we have assessed the planned transfer of personal data to ensure compliance with the law. The standard contractual clauses apply basic data safeguards, such as the obligation to process data in accordance with the transferor’s instructions and clauses, the obligation to suspend the transfer of data, the provision of technical and organizational security measures, the obligation to notify requests for disclosure of personal data, the obligation to notify accidental or unauthorized access, and the obligation to provide inspection facilities.

How to exercise additional rights
You can withdraw your consent or object by sending an e-mail to [email protected].
You may exercise these rights at no charge.
