Cookie Policy

§1. What are cookies?

1. Cookies are small text files saved on the User's device (computer, smartphone, tablet) by the web browser while using a website.
2. Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period or until manually deleted).
3. In addition to cookies, the website may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, tracking pixels and web beacons.

§2. Cookie controller

1. The controller of the first-party storage used by gethomeful.com is Windify Digital Services, with its registered office at ul. Płocka 127/16, 87-800 Włocławek, NIP: 8943145650, REGON: 384382857.
2. Contact regarding cookies and privacy: hello@gethomeful.com.

§3. What we use, and what we do not

Strictly necessary (always active)

Required for the proper functioning of the Website. Their use does not require the User's consent pursuant to art. 173(3) of the Telecommunications Law Act (they are necessary to provide the service). They include:

• Cookie banner preferences, recording the User's choice on the cookie banner (the homeful-cookies key in local storage).
• Theme preference (light / dark), recording the selected interface theme (the theme key in local storage).
• Cloudflare (infrastructure, bot protection), the __cf_bm and similar files, set by Cloudflare, the provider of hosting, CDN as well as protection against bots and DDoS attacks for the gethomeful.com domain. Provider: Cloudflare, Inc. (USA).

§4. Detailed list of cookies and storage

Should the Controller in the future deploy analytics or marketing tools, this Policy will be updated and, where required, consent will be requested via the cookie banner before any such technology is loaded.

§5. Legal basis

1. The rules for storing and accessing cookies on the User's device are governed by art. 173 and 174 of the Act of 16 July 2004, the Telecommunications Law, implementing art. 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive).
2. Strictly necessary cookies, processed on the basis of art. 173(3) of the Telecommunications Law (necessary to provide the service requested by the User) and art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (the Controller's legitimate interest). They do not require consent.
3. Because the Website currently uses no analytics or marketing technologies, no consent-based cookies are installed.

§6. Transfers of data outside the EEA

1. Transfers of data to the USA take place on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (European Commission decision of 10 July 2023) or standard contractual clauses (SCCs).
2. The Controller uses only providers that ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.

§7. The mobile application, data instead of cookies

The Homeful application (iOS / Android) does not use classic cookies, as it does not run in a browser. Instead, the Application processes a limited set of technical data:

• Application installation identifier, an internal, proprietary identifier generated by the Application after installation. It allows the device to be recognised in order to maintain a session and to detect abuse.
• Push notification token, issued by Apple Push Notifications (APNs) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and passed to the Controller in order to send transactional notifications.
• Diagnostic logs, information about Application errors and its performance, used to maintain stability.

The Application does not use advertising device identifiers (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android) for marketing purposes. The Application does not share the User's data with advertising networks or data brokers. Detailed information about the processing of data in the Application can be found in the Privacy Policy.

§8. Managing cookies

1. On the first visit to the Website, a cookie banner is displayed, which allows the User to accept or to keep only the strictly necessary storage. As the Website uses no optional cookies, either choice results in the same, tracker-free experience.

2. To display the banner again and change the choice, simply clear the Homeful cookie preference:

   • open the developer tools console in your browser (usually the F12 or ⌥⌘I shortcut);
   • in the Console tab enter: localStorage.removeItem('homeful-cookies'); location.reload();
   • the banner will be displayed again.

   Alternatively, clear the gethomeful.com site data in your browser's privacy settings; the effect will be the same.

3. Cookies can also be managed at the browser level:

   • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
   • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
   • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
   • Edge: Settings → Privacy and services → Cookies
4. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website from functioning properly.

§9. The User's rights

• Right of access, to obtain information about the data processed (art. 15 GDPR).
• Right to rectification, to correct inaccurate data (art. 16 GDPR).
