III. Ordering and Conclusion of Purchase Agreement

- By filling out a reservation or order form on the website galoty.com
- By physically purchasing from the seller
- When placing a reservation or order, the buyer selects the service or goods, the quantity of goods, the method of payment, and delivery.

- Immediately upon receiving the order, the seller will send the buyer a confirmation of receipt of the order to the email address provided by the buyer during the ordering process. This confirmation is automatic and does not constitute the conclusion of a contract. The purchase agreement or contract for services is concluded only upon acceptance of the order by the seller.
- In case any of the requests specified in the order cannot be fulfilled by the seller, the seller will send a modified offer to the buyer’s email address. The modified offer is considered a new proposal for the purchase agreement, and the purchase agreement is concluded in such a case by the buyer’s confirmation of acceptance of this offer to the seller’s email address provided in these terms and conditions or by accepting payment for the ordered goods.
- If the service cannot be provided by the seller after the contract has been concluded due to reasons beyond the seller’s control, particularly due to the inability to conduct the agreed tour with the selected guide at the selected time, the customer will be provided with an alternative in the form of a substitute service with a similar scope to the original service (i.e., arranging a tour with another guide) or an alternative in the form of a gift voucher in the amount of the agreed service. The tour guides are individuals experiencing homelessness, and although they take their role as guides very seriously, there may be occasions when they are unable to fulfill their commitments and conduct the agreed tour.

After the conclusion of the purchase agreement or contract for services, the buyer cannot cancel the order.

- In the case of an obvious technical error on the part of the seller in stating the price of the goods in the online store or during the ordering process, the seller is not obliged to deliver the goods or service to the buyer at this obviously incorrect price, even if the buyer has received an automatic order confirmation according to these terms and conditions. The seller shall promptly inform the buyer of the error and send a modified offer to the buyer’s email address.

1.2 WHY WE PROCESS PERSONAL DATA
Although it may not seem so at first glance, processing your personal data is absolutely crucial to varying extents for accessing most services. Thanks to the personal data provided, for example, we know where to deliver an order, with whom to cooperate, to whom to send an invoice for services, and even whom to assist in solving their problem. Clients, website users, employees, business partners, and other individuals – in order to collaborate with them, there must be at least limited handling of their data on our part.

2.2 HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA
We only require personal data from you to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which we collect it: processing orders, verifying payments, fulfilling contracts, etc. Processing anything unnecessary would be a burden for both you and us. At the same time, you can be assured that we do not engage in any wrongdoing with your data: open sharing, reselling, intrusive marketing – that’s simply not our style.
2.3 YOU PROVIDE DATA VOLUNTARILY
You have the full right to decide whether to provide us with your data or not – it is voluntary. However, occasionally processing personal data on our part is necessary to provide the requested service. For example, we cannot successfully register you for a tour or send you ordered goods without first processing your data. Moreover, in certain situations, data processing is directly mandated by law – this is the case, for example, in tax, accounting, and personnel matters.
3 HOW WE HANDLE YOUR DATA, WHEN…
3.1 …YOU CONTACT US WITH A QUESTION OR REQUEST
You can contact us in writing or by phone. In the case of written communication (such as email, web form), we need to temporarily process your name and contact details, in order to handle your request or possibly match the inquiry with a reservation made. In the case of ongoing communication, it is possible that we will store your contacts in our address books for easy access and efficient communication. It goes without saying that we will not bother you with unsolicited emails or phone calls without your consent.
3.2 …WHEN YOU BOOK A TOUR OR EXPERIENCE WITH US
You can book tours and experiences through forms on our website. You will need to fill in your name, contact details, language preference for the tour, and the type and number of tickets. We need to process this data to confirm your reservation and prepare for the event (communication with guides, communication with you, preparation of materials, etc.). Additionally, we process your billing information, which is necessary to verify payment for the event and maintain tax and accounting records. Your data may therefore be accessible to our accounting processor and stored for the period required by relevant tax and accounting regulations (10 years from the end of the relevant tax period).
3.3 …WHEN YOU BUY SOME OF OUR GIFTS
When you make a purchase in our online shop, we process your personal data to fulfill your order and deliver the goods. Typically, this includes your name, organization (if applicable), address including the country for delivery, contact details, and payment information, as well as details about the ordered items. This is necessary to fulfill the concluded purchase contract, and we keep the data for as long as it is possible to make a warranty claim regarding the purchased goods.
3.4 …WHEN YOU CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ACTIVITIES
If you decide to contribute to our activities, we gladly accept such a contribution based on a donation agreement. In connection with this, we will need to process your personal data (identification data, amount of the donation) so that we can keep proper records of donors and record the timing and purpose of the received donations in accordance with tax laws. For this reason, these data from contracts may be transferred for record-keeping purposes to our accounting processor.
3.5 …WHEN WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW TEAM MEMBERS
From time to time, we are in search of new members to join our team. We accept and review resumes and other materials to ensure we have enough information for the selection process. We do not use external agencies to conduct the selection process, so the data from resumes and other materials are not shared with third parties. The data of candidates who were not successful in a specific selection process are retained only for 3 to 4 months from the end of the selection process.
3.6 …YOUR INFORMATION FINDS ITS WAY TO OUR WEBSITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA
We value interaction with our community, and any warm words make us happy. Therefore, it may happen that your posts, photos, or comments find their way to our website, Facebook, or Instagram. This occurs, of course, with mutual agreement based on consent. If you wish, we can also arrange for the removal of materials and content – just write to us at our email address support@galoty.com.
3.7 …IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SUBSCRIBING TO OUR NEWSLETTER
If you grant us your consent (or if you are our customer), we may contact you via email with information about interesting events or news related to our services and activities. Although we make every effort to ensure that these messages are relevant and interesting to you, it is understood that you can withdraw your consent to receive newsletters at any time.
3.8 …IF YOU BROWSE OUR WEBSITE
We care about our presentation. That’s why we constantly strive to improve our web content. To achieve this, we use Google tools to track user interaction on our website. These tools inform us about which sections of the website you find most interesting, what you search for most frequently, etc. (based on the collection of visitor data and cookies). Since these tools are owned by Google, it is possible that Google may also access this data.
3.9 …IF YOU ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR COOPERATION OR OTHER AGREEMENT WITH US
We are not all-powerful, so sometimes there is a need to outsource certain activities in our operations. For this purpose, we traditionally enter into contracts for cooperation or other agreements to ensure the provision of services. Data from these contracts (typically identification data, contact information, bank details, performance data) are processed for the purpose of fulfilling the obligations of the respective contract – this also corresponds to the duration of storing this data, which corresponds to the duration of the cooperation and subsequent deadlines for asserting claims arising from the contract.

8: EMAIL MARKETING POLICY
8.1 EMAIL MARKETING ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS USE OF GALOT SERVICES
If you use any of our services, we may contact you via email in the future with offers of similar services. This particularly applies to updates on our selection of tours, experiences, or gifts. If you no longer wish to receive occasional offers, simply click the relevant link in the received message, or contact us via email stating that you no longer wish to receive offers from us.
8.2 OTHER EMAIL MARKETING
If you subscribe to our newsletter, you consent to receiving updates related to Galot’s activities and the services we offer. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the appropriate link in the footer of the received messages, or by sending an email to support@galoty.com stating that you no longer wish to receive newsletters. Upon unsubscribing, we will cease processing your email address for the purpose of sending newsletters.
8.3 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GALOTY MAILING
- We dislike SPAM. We don’t like receiving it, and we don’t like sending it. We have no intention of sending you unsolicited offers or passing your contact information to other entities for this purpose. • We prepare updates closely related to our activities and send them at sufficiently long intervals to avoid cluttering your inbox and to ensure you always look forward to them.
- It’s no problem to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time (link in the footer of received messages). • Any inquiries regarding mailing will be gladly addressed via email at support@galoty.com.
