Privacy Policy

Data you provide us with

Scope. We may collect or obtain personal data from you when you use the Services. As a rule, this occurs when you expressly provide us with your information via “Contact us” form on the Website. The personal data that we collect or obtain includes your name; e-mail address; your phone number; project budget and the description.

In addition, we may receive your personal data when you send us an application to become a member of our team via the “Career” form on the Website. In this case, we require you to disclose your name, email address, phone number, position, level and your CV or message as well as job application details. You are also free to share with us your website, blog, portfolio, LinkedIn profile, and/or College/University, which we may use during selection of applicants.

In both cases, other data, such as your company name, private account on any social media or any personal data you disclose in your message body are unnecessary for us, but you can share them with us at your sole discretion. We may use them in order to better evaluate your request and prepare an appropriate response. We kindly ask you not to provide us with any excessive personal data, including sensitive data.

Purpose and use of data. We collect such data because you provide us with them through the forms on the Website and you reasonably expect us to collect and use such data. We process the data you provided us through the “Contact us” form to provide the Services you requested, including to provide customer care and support, detect, prevent and address technical issues, or simply to answer to your requests. We also process the data you provided us via the “Career” form to provide you with all needed information, as well as to be aware of our potential employee, and to contact you.

Legal grounds. We mostly use your personal data for the purposes, defined above, either to perform contract or enter into the contract with you (to provide you with our Services), or upon your consent. We could also use some personal data in view of our legitimate interests. Legitimate interests are a possibility to lawfully use your personal data without your explicit consent. This is possible insofar such interests are not outweighed by your interests. In our case, we have legitimate interests, for instance, in the effective delivery of the Services or in building the relationship with potential employees and contractors/subcontractors and communicating with them regarding possible cooperation with us. We believe that our legitimate interests correspond to your interest in obtaining the Services and enter into possible cooperation.

In all such cases, we ensure your right to object against our use of your personal data for such purposes.

Newsletters and similar communication

Scope. When you subscribe to our newsletters on our Blog page, you give us your email address.

Purpose and use of data. We may use this data, as well as your data that you previously provided us through the Website forms, which is your email and name and relevant business information, in order to send you messages with some useful information about software development or with some information of promotional nature.

Legal grounds. We send you relevant useful information based on the legitimate interests pursued by the Teplin – e.g. to propose our Services, develop our brand and public image and set up relationships with potential clients. You may always opt-out from our newsletters by clicking the respective link in each message.

We consider that you’re interested in receiving our emails until you unsubscribe from the mailing list.

Automatic collection (cookies and similar web technologies)

Scope. We may also collect or obtain personal data from you because we observe that data about you from the way you interact with the Website. We use analytical web technologies to collect the cookies identifiers in the manner explained below. In such cases, we collect the details of how you like to interact with us and other similar information.

Purpose. We collect such data to improve your experience when you use the Website and ensure that the Website is functioning effectively.

Legal grounds. We process such data based on your explicit consent, enabling us to collect the cookies identifiers.

Use of data. We use such data to assess the Website performance, customize our Website to provide you with a more personalized experience and draw your attention to information regarding the Services.

• In both cases, we may process your personal data to comply with the legal requirements, particularly to respond to the requests from competent authorities, as well as to send you details about our Services that may be of interest to you, ensuring your right to object

Children’s privacy

We understand the importance of protecting children's privacy. Our Services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or store information about children.

Other processing ‍

Note that we may process any of your personal data not only on the bases indicated above, but also when the processing is necessary:

• to protect your vital interests or vital interests of another natural person;
• for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
• for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Teplin or by a third party (e.g. to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Website or to protect ourselves, our sub-contractors, partners and affiliates against liability)

If we decide to change the purposes of processing specified above, we will inform you on such changes prior to the use of your personal data within the newly set purposes. Where applicable, you will have to provide your consent for the amended purposes (unless additional purpose of processing is compatible with those listed above).

Please note that we do not sell your data or make any decision based solely on automated processing that may produce legal effects or similarly significant effects.

Access by our employees and contractors

We may share your personal data with the people we hired or with whom we entered into services agreements. For the purposes stated above, we may share your personal data with such individuals. We secure such processing by taking the necessary security and organizational precautions. We engage both companies and individual entrepreneurs from the EU and other countries such as the US, Ukraine and Poland.

Some of the recipients of your personal information may be in the countries, outside of the European Union. Laws of such countries may not provide the same level of data protection. In such cases, we will ensure that there are adequate safeguards in place to protect your personal information that comply with our legal obligations – a data transfer agreement with the recipient based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers of personal information to third countries.

Third parties

We may use certain external services, including cloud storage and analytical services, in the course of the Services provision. As a rule, we share non-personal, de-identified and aggregated information with third parties, including data analytics services. The list of the external services which we use could change from time to time.

If you want us to provide you with the complete list of such external services, please contact us via gdpr@teplin.agency.

As regards the engagement of the service providers, Teplin takes all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the applicable data protection laws such as GDPR. In particular, we make sure that your personal data is being protected and used only within the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. This is achieved by using only certified services and products, signing agreements on protection of personal data with contractors and partners, as well as taking technical measures to ensure the information is protected when stored, used and while being processed and transferred. No transfer of your data will be carried unless appropriate safeguards are in place.

You also have to know that Teplin may disclose your personal data to enforce and comply with the laws. In other words, Teplin may disclose information necessary for the investigation or legal process on official request or the official bodies acting within their powers.

Also, our Website may contain links to third-party websites such as social media sites (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, GoodFirms). If you choose to use these sites, you might disclose your personal data to those third parties. We are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites or services. The collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third-party websites or services, and not this Privacy Policy. We urge you to read the privacy and security policies of these third parties.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may amend or update this Privacy Policy from time to time, updating “Last modified” date at the top of this Privacy Policy and adding the details to the “Key changes” section below. Your further use of this Privacy Policy will confirm your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. Should you disagree with this document, you must stop using the Services. In case there is an important change that we want to highlight to you, we will also inform you in another appropriate way (for example via a pop-up notice or statement of changes on our website).

We hope this Privacy Policy helped you to understand how your personal data will be dealt with here at the Company. We will take care of it, so you can explore our Application and not be concerned about your privacy.
