Legal basis and purpose of processing personal data
According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is the person’s consent (documented, voluntary, specific, informed and unambiguous).

We store user data only for as long as necessary to implement the purposes defined above in accordance with the legislation in force at the time.

The IP addresses of website visitors and cookies necessary for the functions of the service are processed on the basis of legitimate interest, for example, to ensure data security and to collect statistical data on website visitors in cases where they can be considered personal data. If necessary, consent is requested separately for third-party cookies.

Regular data sources
The data stored in the register is obtained from the customer, for example, from messages sent via www forms, by email, by phone, through social media services, from contracts, customer meetings and other situations in which the customer provides their information. Information about contact persons of companies and other organizations can also be collected from public sources such as websites, directory services and other companies. The website uses Google Analytics and other analytics tools to create reports on the use of our websites so that we can improve our websites and our service.

Data is not routinely disclosed to other parties. Data may be published to the extent agreed with the customer. As a rule, we do not transfer data outside the EU or EEA. Data will not be transferred to the United States without the express consent of the data subjects.

Principles of register protection
The register is handled with care and the data processed by information systems is protected appropriately. When register data is stored on Internet servers, the physical and digital security of their equipment is appropriately taken care of. The controller ensures that the stored data, as well as the access rights to the servers and other information critical to the security of personal data, are handled confidentially and only by employees whose job description requires it.

Right of inspection and right to demand correction of data
Every person in the register has the right to check their data stored in the register and to demand correction of any incorrect data or completion of incomplete data. If a person wishes to check the data stored about them or demand correction of them, the request must be sent in writing to the controller. If necessary, the controller may ask the requester to prove their identity. The controller will respond to the customer within the time period set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (generally within one month).

Other rights related to the processing of personal data
A person in the register has the right to request that personal data concerning him or her be deleted from the register (“right to be forgotten”).
