Privacy Policy
FreshMail is absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. We know that only accurate information on the manner of processing your Personal Data will allow you to put your trust in us and enable you to use the full potential of the FreshMail Portal. Therefore, we have created a Privacy Policy that will tell you what steps we take to ensure the reliability and transparency of Personal Data processing, what standards we follow and to what extent we collect and process Personal Data.
Before you use the FreshMail Portal in any way, please read the full Privacy Policy. We have divided it into two parts – one is intended for FreshMail App users and subscribers of our newsletter, and the other part relates to cookie files. If you only want to read about the latter, go straight to the ‘Cookies’ section below.
If you do not accept the procedures resulting from the Policy, you may not use the FreshMail Portal. Should you have any queries or concerns, we are here to assist you. Contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy (Section 30).

- FreshMail likes to keep things organised. That is why we’ve put together a short list of definitions used in this Privacy Policy.
Personal data | This is all your personal data, defined in accordance with GDPR, that you enter into the FreshMail App yourself or the data that you generate when using our services; |
FreshMail | That’s us. FreshMail is a limited liability company with its registered office in Kraków, entered into the commercial register of the National Court Register (KRS) by the District Court of Kraków-Śródmieście in Kraków, 11th Commercial Division of the KRS, under KRS number: 0000497051. |
Campaign | Campaigns are the primary task of the FreshMail App. A Campaign is a single mass delivery of one marketing email or text message, based on a single template. A single message is also considered to be a Campaign. Note that transactional emails sent from the FreshMail App are not a Campaign. |
Account | This is an individual profile that will be created for you on your first login to the FreshMail Portal. Through your Account, you can use the functionalities and resources of the FreshMail App, which are made available to you. |
Subscribers | You send your Campaigns to them. These are the individuals whose email addresses and/or phone numbers you import to the FreshMail App. |
Policy | This is what you are reading right now. It is a set of practices and rules according to which we process your Personal Data. |
Anti-Spam Policy | FreshMail wants all use of the FreshMail App to be in compliance with mandatory provisions of law and generally accepted Internet practices. Therefore, FreshMail has created the Anti-Spam Policy, which brings together all the foregoing regulations and rules. If you wish to read the Anti-Spam Policy, click here. |
FreshMail App | This is where you import the databases of email addresses or mobile phone numbers of the Subscribers and send your Campaigns through it. The FreshMail App lets you use other functionalities which are detailed here. The FreshMail App is an online application accessed at app.freshmail.com and provided as Software as a Service (SaaS). You do not have to install it on your computer. |
Processing | These are operations we perform on your Personal Data. Processing means activities such as collecting, recording, storing, elaborating, modifying, sharing and deleting Personal Data and, in particular, it stands for those operations that lead to your ability to take advantage of the functionalities of the FreshMail App. This Policy does not describe FreshMail’s principles of processing the Personal Data of Subscribers on your behalf. These aspects are regulated by a document titled ‘Personal Data Processing Outsourcing Agreement’, which you can read more about here. |
Terms of Use | It is a FreshMail policy document in which FreshMail has defined the terms of your use of the FreshMail Portal and App. Yu can read the current version of the Terms of Use here. |
Portal | This is how you access your Account and use the FreshMail App. It is a website available at freshmail.pl. |
GDPR | The Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). You can read it here. |
Information required by GDPR
- When using the FreshMail Portal, you may choose to provide us with your Personal Data – usually, if you set up an Account or sign up for our newsletter, but also by writing us an email or chat. In these circumstances, FreshMail will become your Personal Data Controller, and according to GDPR we must provide you with necessary information. We will outline it here in as short a form as possible – if you are in a hurry, read only this section.

- FreshMail will only process your Personal Data with your consent or in instances when there are other legal grounds for doing so.
- We process your Personal Data:
(i) for the purpose of providing you with the FreshMail Portal, providing you with the functionalities of the FreshMail App, and for managing FreshMail customers, the legal basis for our processing of your Personal Data is a contract concluded between us and the legitimate interests linked to our business, i.e. conducted in an effort to improve our services. In these circumstances, we will process your data throughout your use of the FreshMail App and until the expiry of the limitation period for any claims arising therefrom;
(ii) for marketing purposes – so that we can send you our own commercial or business information about our partners. We always ask you for your consent before we send you such information. All you need to do is to tick the appropriate box in the form when signing up. You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking the deactivation link contained in every marketing message that we send you. In this case, we will continue to process your data until you withdraw your consent;
(iii) for statistical purposes, i.e. to analyse user traffic in the FreshMail App. The legal basis for the processing of your Personal Data by FreshMail is, in this case, our legitimate interest – self-marketing of our services. In these circumstances, we will process your data until you object to the above, which you can easily do by writing us a message.
- A separate matter is when we collect and process information about the users of the FreshMail Portal through cookies. Read more in Sections 24–29 of the Privacy Policy.
You’re the boss here
- Remember that it is you who decides about the scope and purpose of the Personal Data Processing. At any time, you can:

- In exceptional cases, we may not comply with: your request to delete your Personal Data, restrict the processing of your Personal Data, or your objection. This may happen if you violate the Terms of Use or the Anti-spam Policy, or if you breach the prevailing regulations of law. The Personal Data will then only be preserved to determine the circumstances of the breach or to determine liability for the breach.
Shared information
- The character of the FreshMail Portal means that we can sometimes transfer or share your Personal Data with other entities. Such transfers may only take place after we have entered into an appropriate agreement with the other entity. The companies to whom we entrust Personal Data include: the hosting provider, the provider of the servers which we lease, the provider of chat services, and subcontractors of certain functionalities of the FreshMail App.
- We will transfer or make available your Personal Data only if you have given your prior consent or if the prevailing regulations of law permit it.
- Please note that your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area only if those countries meet the security requirements for Personal Data set forth in GDPR. We use several American apps, which means that some of your data may be transferred to the USA. However, all our partners are members of the Privacy Shield programme, which, in accordance with European regulations, guarantees an adequate level of data security.
- Data collected in accordance with the Policy constitutes valuable research material; therefore, we may create and disclose anonymous summaries and statistical data concerning the operation of the FreshMail Portal and App. However, such information is not Personal Data and, therefore, it cannot lead to your identification or that of other users.
Your data is safe with us
- We care about the security of your Personal Data; therefore, we apply very high security measures and keep any information you provide confidential. One of our security features is the security policy that we have adopted and are conscientiously adhering to. We also fulfil all obligations imposed on us as the Personal Data Controller, and arising from the provisions of generally applicable law, in particular from GDPR.
We all need to stay safe
- Please note that in order for your Personal Data to be secure, we must take care of it together. That is why you should always keep your login details to the FreshMail Portal – both password and login – confidential. We also encourage you to create a complicated password for logging in – when signing up to the Portal we give you a few tips on this subject; however, it is up to you to use a password with the appropriate level of complexity.
- If you share your workstation (computer) with another person, please ensure that you always log out of the Portal after finishing working.
