The Services limit the collection and use of information about their users to the minimum necessary to provide them with services at the desired level, pursuant to Article 18 of the Act on Providing Electronic Services. In particular, when collecting personal data, we distinguish those which are actually necessary to provide the service by electronic means. Providing other personal data (i.e. data which are not necessary to provide the service by electronic means) is not obligatory, it is at the discretion of the person to whom the data refer and their processing by PowerBad depends on their consent.
