We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer, having established that we are not required to do so under Article 37 GDPR. The address above is the contact point for all data protection matters.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy covers personal data processed in connection with the website www.forza614.com — including member accounts, the newsletter, software downloads, contact channels and analytics.

Purchases of FORZA 614 hardware and subscriptions are made through our online store at www.cryptomotive.com, which has its own privacy policy governing orders, payments and delivery.

3. What we collect and why

3.1 Member account and newsletter

When you create a free account or subscribe to updates, we process your email address and, where you provide it, your name.

  • Purpose: to give you access to downloads and member content, and to send you product updates, new supported clusters and technical news.
  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR — performance of a contract for the provision of the service; and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR — your consent for direct marketing by electronic means, in connection with Article 398 of the Polish Act of 12 July 2024, Electronic Communications Law (Prawo komunikacji elektronicznej), and any other applicable local e-privacy rules.
  • Withdrawal: you may unsubscribe at any time using the link in every message, or by writing to us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Newsletter engagement data. Our email system records whether a message was delivered and opened, and which links in it were clicked, together with the IP address and approximate location from which that happened. We use this to see which topics are useful to readers and to stop sending to addresses that no longer work.

  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in measuring and improving our own communication. You may object to this processing at any time by writing to us, or end it entirely by unsubscribing.

3.2 Software downloads

When you download the FORZA 614 PC application, we process your email address and download records (which file, when).

  • Purpose: to make the software available to you, to inform you about updates and security-relevant changes, and to provide technical support.
  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in maintaining and supporting the software we distribute.

3.3 Contact by email and WhatsApp

When you contact us by email or through the WhatsApp links published on this site, we process the content of your message, your email address or telephone number, and any other data you choose to share.

  • Purpose: to answer your enquiry and to provide technical support.
  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a product or service you use, otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries addressed to us.
  • Note on WhatsApp: WhatsApp is provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. When you write to us on WhatsApp, Meta processes your data under its own terms, over which we have no influence. See the WhatsApp Privacy Policy at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy. If you prefer not to use WhatsApp, email works equally well.

3.4 Technical data

Every visit to the site generates technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, date and time of the request.

  • Purpose: to deliver the website, keep it secure, prevent abuse, and diagnose faults.
  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the site.

3.5 Social media profiles

We run profiles linked from this site, including Instagram and YouTube.

If you follow one of our profiles or interact with what we publish there, we see the data that is publicly visible on your profile. If you send us a private message, we process what you put in it.

For the statistics that these platforms generate about our profiles, we act as joint controller together with the platform operator, in line with the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The platform operator determines how the underlying data is collected and we have no influence over it.

3.6 Embedded videos

Some of our articles contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited.

When a page with an embedded video loads and you consent to it, YouTube sets cookies on your device and receives information that you viewed that page — including your IP address — even if you do not play the video and are not signed in to a Google account. If you are signed in, Google can link that visit directly to your account. Some of these cookies are used by Google for advertising purposes.

We have no access to the data collected this way and no influence over how Google uses it.

  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR — your consent, given through the cookie banner. Until you consent, the embedded players are blocked and no YouTube cookies are set.
  • Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

3.7 Analytics and marketing

Subject to your consent given through the cookie banner, we use:

  • Ghost Analytics — built-in, privacy-oriented traffic statistics provided as part of our hosting platform.
  • Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) — to understand how visitors use the site, which pages they read and where they arrive from. IP anonymisation is enabled.
  • Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited) — to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and, where applicable, to show relevant ads to people who have visited this site.
  • Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) GDPR — your consent, given through the cookie banner. You can withdraw it at any time through the cookie settings link available on every page.

We do not use this data to make automated decisions that produce legal effects concerning you.

4. Cookies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies.

Necessary cookies are required for the site to function — they maintain your session, keep you signed in to your member account and protect against abuse. These are used on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and cannot be switched off.

Analytics, performance and advertising cookies are used only after you give consent through the cookie banner. They include cookies set by Google Analytics 4, by embedded YouTube players, and by Meta Pixel where advertising is active.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the cookie settings link on the site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect how parts of the site work.

Our cookie banner and consent records are managed with Termly (Termly, Inc.), which acts as our processor for this purpose.

5. Who we share data with

We disclose personal data only where necessary, to the following categories of recipients:

  • Hosting and content delivery: Ghost Foundation (Ghost Pro) and Cloudflare, Inc., which host and deliver this website.
  • Analytics and advertising: Google Ireland Limited and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, on the basis of your consent.
  • Embedded video: Google Ireland Limited (YouTube), on the basis of your consent.
  • Consent management: Termly, Inc.
  • Communication: the providers of our email and messaging services, including Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for WhatsApp.
  • Professional advisers and authorities: accountants, legal advisers, and public authorities where we are required by law to disclose data.

Each of these acts either as our processor under a data processing agreement, or as an independent controller in respect of its own services.

6. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Some of our providers process data outside the EEA, including in the United States.

Such transfers take place on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission — in particular the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where the recipient is certified under it — or on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, together with supplementary safeguards where required.

You may request information about the safeguards applied by writing to [email protected].

7. How long we keep your data

  • Member account and newsletter data: until you delete your account or withdraw your consent.
  • Download records: for the period during which we support the relevant software version, and no longer than 3 years from the download.
  • Correspondence (email, WhatsApp): for the duration of the matter and up to 3 years afterwards, so that we can handle follow-up enquiries and defend against possible claims.
  • Technical and security logs: up to 12 months.
  • Analytics data: in accordance with the retention period configured in the relevant tool, no longer than 14 months.
  • Consent records: for the period required to demonstrate compliance, and no longer than 5 years from withdrawal of consent.

Where data must be retained under accounting or tax law, or in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, we keep it for the period provided by those rules.

8. Is providing data mandatory?

Providing personal data is voluntary. However, providing an email address is a condition of creating a member account, receiving the newsletter and downloading the software — without it, we cannot deliver those services.

9. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • access your personal data and obtain a copy of it,
  • rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete,
  • erase your data ("right to be forgotten"),
  • restrict processing,
  • data portability,
  • object to processing based on our legitimate interest, including profiling; where you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing for that purpose immediately,
  • withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, write to [email protected].

If you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority — in Poland, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, https://uodo.gov.pl.

10. Security

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk and to the categories of data protected, in particular to prevent unauthorised access, unlawful processing, and accidental loss, alteration, damage or destruction of data.

The site is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and access to administrative systems is restricted and protected.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services, in the tools we use or in applicable law. The current version is always available at www.forza614.com, with the date of the last update shown at the top.

If you hold a member account or subscribe to our newsletter, we will notify you by email of any change that materially affects how we process your data.

12. Governing law

Matters not covered by this policy are governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (GDPR) and by applicable Polish law.
