Data processing related to the company’s advertising activities
In accordance with the abovementioned, the company carries out customized marketing communication regarding its own products, discounts, news, customized offers and other promotional content through various channels and with various persons.
1.2 The legal basis for the processing of personal data may lie in the fulfillment of a concluded contract or in negotiations for the conclusion of a contract
We may process personal data of individuals on the basis of a concluded contract (e.g., the conclusion of a contract for the use of our services) or negotiations for the conclusion of a contract (e.g., when an individual contacts our organization through our official communication channels and wants to obtain more information about our services).
In the described cases, you provide us with personal data as part of a contractual obligation or as part of negotiations for the conclusion of a contract, whereby we consequently do not need your explicit consent for the above-mentioned processing of your personal data. In principle, you will not suffer any serious negative consequences in situations where we would otherwise need your personal data to perform our services and you do not provide us with these data. However, such situations can significantly complicate or even prevent the execution of ordered services or our cooperation, and you will be informed in advance or subsequently in these cases.
1.3. The legal basis for the processing of your data may also be set out in legislation
Our organization may also process personal data for the purposes of fulfilling legal and other lawful obligations, especially those governing taxes and accounting requirements (e.g., records of issued and received invoices, etc.), for example: when an inspector or another holder of public authority orders our organization to entrust him with personal data of a certain client/visitor in accordance with the law (for example, in the context of conducting inspection supervision under the provisions of the applicable law, when our organization processes personal data of a client to whom it has issued an invoice, our organization processes this invoice and client data (e.g., personal name, contact details, etc.) on the basis of the applicable tax laws and regulations (see section 3.2.), etc.
1.4. Based on our legitimate interests
We are also allowed to process certain personal data for the purposes of safeguarding our own legitimate interests. Such cases may arise, for example, when the processing of your data would be necessary from the perspective of administrative, criminal, or civil proceedings (e.g., when our organization would have to submit a database as evidence in a procedure, otherwise our organization would suffer a penalty or severe and irreparable damage), in which case we will always process only those data that are absolutely necessary to pursue such legitimate goals. OUR organization is also allowed to process the personal data of an individual in cases where the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the individual (e.g., looking up the address of an individual who is facing an immediate and serious life-threatening danger).
1.5. Based on prior consent
Interacting with us and the use of our services is generally not conditional on you agreeing to the processing of your personal data.
However, we can also process your personal data based on your explicit consent. An individual’s explicit consent is considered as his voluntary declaration of will by which he agrees to the processing of certain personal data for a certain purpose, (e.g., when you consent to receiving our newsletter or other commercial messages), whereby in such cases we process those data that are indicated in the relevant section of the table from point 1, where consent is indicated as the legal basis for processing.
Receiving such communication can be stopped at any time by following the link contained in every newsletter/commercial email message or by contacting us at the email address that is listed at the beginning of this document.
Based on your consent, our online advertising can also be performed, provided that you have agreed to the installation of optional (advertising) cookies and tracking pixels of our advertising partners when visiting our website (e.g., installation of the Google Analytics cookie, which enables us to advertise our services more easily on other websites, etc.). A detailed list of optional cookies from our advertising partners, the data we process with them, and the retention periods of these data is defined on the “Cookies” page.
Our organization provides each individual with the right to withdraw his explicit consent at any time in a simple way, by contacting us at any time at the email address that is listed at the beginning of this document.
The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing that was carried out on the basis of consent until the moment of withdrawal.
If you do not give consent for the processing of personal data, give consent partially or withdraw consent (partially), we will, if possible, cooperate with you only to the extent of the given consent or in ways permitted by applicable law.
Consent is voluntary and if you decide not to give it or later withdraw it, this in no case infringes on your other rights or represents additional costs or aggravating circumstances for you.
How long do we store or process your personal data?
The retention period of personal data depends on the basis and purpose of processing each category of personal data. Personal data is usually stored as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the data was collected, or until some regulation requires us to keep it, after which it is deleted.
If the retention period of individual data is not more precisely defined in the table in section 1, the following applies:
Our organization may retain the data for another 15 days after the expiration of the said retention period with the aim of being able to destroy the stored data from all data carriers and servers during this period.
An individual can always request the deletion of data by sending their request to our organization’s official email address that is listed at the beginning of this document.
