Personal Data Protection Policy

We treat personal data in compliance with the legislation in force. In particular, we assure the protection of personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is uniformly applicable in the whole EU since 25 May 2018.

The principles stated below provide a summary of the basic rules that we follow when gathering personal data and ensuring that it is kept confidential and secure.

Since we work on a number of projects that have separate webpages (within which specific cases of personal data processing may occur), this text provides a basic framework. You will always find specific information on processing on the site where we are requesting some personal data from you.

Basic principles

In general, we always process your personal data only to the extent necessary for the given purpose. Personal data may be divided into two groups – personal data we are allowed to process without your consent, and personal data that we may not process without your consent.

We process personal data without your consent in cases when:

• the data is necessary for us to fulfill a legal obligation (e.g. the Accounting Act – zákon o účetnictví),
• the data is needed in order to fulfill a contract we are entering into with you,
• we have a legitimate interest in the data processing (typically record-keeping and informing about our activities).

In the remaining cases, we process data based on your consent.

We process personal data in such a way that it is appropriately secured against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

We store personal data only for the necessary period of time and we archive the data according to the legal time limits provided for in the legislation.

What kind of personal data we process most frequently through our webpage

List of processors

We do not sell your data, nor do we hand it over to other parties in another way, except for our contractual partners who enable us to communicate with you, and except for situations when we have a legal obligation to hand your data over to another person.

For an up-to-date list of processors and other recipients, please contact the data controller. The notice on processing of your data for a specific purpose always refers to a specific list.
