Bearing this in mind in this section of the privacy policy the Administrator provides information regarding possible profiling.

The Administrator may use profiling in the Online Store for direct marketing purposes, but the decisions made by the Administrator based on profiling do not concern the conclusion or refusal to conclude a Sales Agreement or the possibility of using Electronic Services in the Online Store. The result of using profiling in the Online Store may include, for example, granting a discount to a particular person, sending them a discount code, reminding them of unfinished purchases, sending proposals for a Product that may correspond to the interests or preferences of that person, or proposing better conditions compared to the standard offer of the Online Store. Despite profiling, the individual is free to decide whether they want to use the discount they receive in this way or better conditions and make a purchase in the Online Store.
5.3. Profiling in the Online Store involves the automatic analysis or prediction of the behavior of a particular person on the Online Store's website, such as adding a specific Product to the shopping cart, browsing a specific Product page on the Online Store, or analyzing the individual's past purchase history in the Online Store. The condition for such profiling is that the Administrator has the personal data of the individual in order to subsequently send them, for example, a discount code.
5.4. The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them.
