The legal basis for this processing is the performance of the contract that we conclude in the process.

As a rule, we process your personal data for the duration of the contract conclusion process and subsequently for the duration of the contract, if it has been concluded.

 

C.2. Compliance with legal obligations imposed on us

As a company regulated by Czech law, we also have some of the obligations imposed on us by law. Typically, this is the obligation to record payments and properly keep accounting documents about them, to observe consumer protection if they occur, or just to properly identify our customers. However, it is also about the laws relating to the retention of data on our employees and the related agenda of tax and payment. For this purpose, we may process, in particular, identification data, contact data, payment, payroll and accounting data, communication data and data resulting from communication and data on the services and products provided.

The legal ground for this processing is the fulfillment of legal obligations. We usually receive data from you when you provide it to us as part of the process of concluding a contract or communicating with each other.

For these purposes, we process personal data for a period according to the given legal deadlines, usually not exceeding 10 years as the latest processing time according to accounting regulations.

 

C.3. Protection of our legal interests and keeping internal records

We also need personal data for the proper protection of our rights and claims and to be able to keep internal records of our customers and clients, including personal data necessary for debt recovery or effective defence in the event of a dispute (i.e. so that as a controller we can properly defend ourselves in court or in out-of-court, enforcement and similar proceedings where, without such processed data, the protection of our rights could be jeopardised or rendered impossible). For this purpose, we may process identification data, contact data, payment, payroll and accounting data, employment-related data, communication and communication data and data on the services and products provided.

The legal basis for the processing here is our legitimate interest in improving the efficiency of our internal processes in the company and creating new ones. At the same time, in some cases, you can give your consent to the processing of personal data.

C.5. Promotion of our brand and marketing communication

We also use personal data when we provide offers of our services and products or when we promote our brand and our company, including sending newsletters and newsletters.

If we process your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, we do so until you object to this processing or take any other action on the basis of which we conclude that you do not wish further processing for this purpose. You have the right to object to these processings.

If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, we do so until you withdraw your consent.

We may then obtain other personal data from our partners who are the controllers of your personal data and who transfer them to us according to their own instructions and their own purposes: we are therefore personal data processors in relation to them.

If we are the controller, this means that we determine for what purpose and by what means your personal data will be processed, i.e. in particular collected, recorded, sorted and possibly made available, and we are also responsible for the proper implementation of such processing of your personal data. If we are a processor, these purposes and means are determined by another person who holds your personal data as a controller. This may be in particular your business partners, to whom you instruct us to provide your personal data.

We may also transfer your personal data to other entities that are in the role of an administrator, for example in connection with the performance of a contract with you to our partners who are involved in this performance.

For the processing of personal data, we also use the services of other processors who process personal data only according to our instructions and for the purposes described above..

G. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS WHEN PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA?

Just as we have our rights and obligations when processing your personal data, you also have certain rights when processing your personal data. These rights include::

 

G.1. Withdrawal of consent

If we obtain them at all, all consents are completely voluntary and you are not obliged to provide them.

However, failure to grant or withdraw consent for any of the above purposes above will not affect the possibility of sending our business/marketing communications in accordance with our legitimate interest (see the above purpose "Promotion of our brand and marketing communication"“).

In all cases of processing based on consent, you can withdraw it by sending an e-mail to the address of the or by any other action from which it will be clear to us that you wish to withdraw your consent. It is necessary to send it under the e-mail that we have registered with you so that we can verify that it is really you.

In the event of withdrawal of consent, we will assume that you no longer wish us to continue to process your personal data for marketing purposes, even on the basis of any previously granted marketing consents or any specific marketing consents. We will therefore also consider these possible other marketing consents to be revoked.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to such withdrawal.

c) you exercise your right to object to processing (see below section "Right to object to processing") for personal data that we process on the basis of our legitimate interests and we find that we no longer have any such legitimate interests that would justify such processing, or

We must restrict the processing of personal data when:

a) you deny the accuracy of the personal data before we agree on what data is correct;

b) We process your personal data without a sufficient legal basis (e.g. beyond what we have to process), but you will only prefer to limit such data before deleting it (e.g. if you expect to provide us with such data in the future anyway);

c) We no longer need your personal data for the above processing purposes, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of your legal claims, or

d) you object to the processing as described in more detail below in the section "Right to object to processing". For the period during which we investigate, if your objection is justified, we are obliged to restrict the processing of your personal data.

G.7. Right to object to processing

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data that takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest (see "WHAT ENTITLES US TO PROCESS PERSONAL DATA?"). In the case of marketing activities, we will stop processing your personal data without further ado; in other cases, we will do so unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing such processing.

You can object to processing for the following purposes:

a) Protection of our legal interests and keeping internal records;

b) Promotion of our brand and marketing communications; and

c) Operation of the website.

 

G.8. Right to lodge a complaint

Exercising your rights in the above manner does not affect your right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can exercise this right in particular if you believe that we process your personal data unlawfully or in violation of generally binding legal regulations.
