However, in case that unfounded, inadequate or repeated requests for such data are made, our company may charge a reasonable fee for the provision of such information and personal data, or may reject the request. This applies similarly to the exercise of another rights of the data subject.
  • Right to to have inaccurate personal data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete: If you believe that we process inaccurate personal data about you, you have the right to request their rectification and completion.

BUSINESS PARTNER

Purposes of personal data processing

In the contractual relationship with our business partners, we process the personal data of our business partners in an appropriate manner and in accordance with the principles described above (in those cases where our business partner is a legal entity, the personal data of natural persons representing that person may be processed). Our company processes the following data mainly for the purposes of:

  • contractual relationships (provision of services);
  • fulfilment of legal obligations;
  • protection of own claims, recovery of debts and defence in case of a dispute;
  • marketing communication with customers;
  • sending offers of other products and services;
  • handling of complaints;
  • customer support;
  • communication with a legal entity through authorized persons, etc.

Personal data being processed

We process personal data not only manually, but also automatically, in accordance with the purpose for which our company obtained them from the personal data subject; the following categories of personal data are processed:

  • personal identification data (especially name and surname);
  • contact details (e.g. e-mail address, telephone contact, addresses);
  • bank details.

Recipients of personal data

Your personal data that you provide to our company are still accessible only to authorized employees or individual processors of personal data who guarantee the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures so that the processing of personal data meets the requirements of the relevant legislation on personal data protection under the Czech law and the EU law (especially according to GDPR). The processors of personal data process personal data only within the instructions of the provider and they are primarily IT system administrators, software providers and other processors with whom a processing contract has been concluded which regulates the rights and obligations in the processing of personal data. Personal data are not passed on to processors outside the EU.

If you are interested in finding out who can be the recipient of your personal data in our company, we will provide you with this list at your request. It goes without saying that that the data are processed in accordance with the principles set out above, so we make your data available to certain entities only to the extent necessary to fulfil the individual purposes of processing.

As also governed by the applicable law in certain cases, we may also provide your personal data to public authorities, provided that the legal conditions in question are met.

Personal data of third parties

All personal data of third parties (customers or employees of business partners and other natural persons involved in the cooperation with our company) will also be processed in accordance with the applicable law and this processing policy, always for the purpose for which these personal data were provided to us. This may be other information that we receive from business partners in connection with the conclusion or performance of the contract.

Please note that we will process personal data of third parties for the duration of the contractual relationship with business partners and also, if necessary, for the period specified by special legal regulations. In justified cases, it may be necessary to keep certain data for a longer period of time, but only exceptionally in connection with a specific case (typically to protect the rights of our company). Please note that each business partner is responsible for the proper instruction of their employees and customers in the processing of personal data by our company. This also applies to the data of other natural persons who cooperate with our company on the part of the business partner.

Retention period

For the proper fulfilment of the obligations that our company has towards you, we process and store your personal data for the duration of the legal relationships and for the time necessary for the purpose of processing or according to the applicable law in the field of personal data protection, according to which we, as the administrators, are obliged to store them.

Consent to processing

If you have placed your trust in us and given us your explicit consent to the processing of personal data (e.g. for our marketing and business purposes, storage of data on typical behaviour, preparation of analyses and a set of activities aimed at informing about products and services of the administrator, about organized events, fairs and exhibitions related to the field/activity of the administrator, the creation of targeted offers, as well as addressing on behalf of the administrator with a business offer of products and services, in writing, by phone or electronically through contacts provided by the data subject to the administrator etc.), you should be informed of other facts important for you. The consent to the processing of personal data is not conditional on the provision of any services or products, so you grant it voluntarily and, of course, free of charge. You can then revoke this consent at any time by a statement of intent sent to the administrator’s address or in another pre-agreed manner, and there is no risk of sanctions or other disadvantages with this revocation of consent, in the manner specified for exercising your rights (rights of the data subject).

If you revoke your consent it does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent that was given before its revoke. The revoke of the consent also does not affect the obligation of the administrator to process personal data on a legal basis other than the consent (i.e. especially if the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract, legal obligations or for other reasons specified in the relevant regulations).

Therefore, unless such consent is previously revoked, it is usually granted for a period of ten (10) years, unless otherwise specified in the application for consent. By granting consent to the processing of its personal data, the subject also agrees to the processing of these data by a third party other than the administrator (i.e. the processor of personal data), whom the administrator entrusts with the processing of personal data.
