RIGHTS OF THE PERSONS CONCERNED UNDER THE REGULATION AND THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION ACT
We consider it important that you understand that the personal data we process is your data and that rights are associated with its processing. In addition to the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data, you also have other rights arising from the Regulation and Personal Data Protection Act, namely:
Right of access - you have the right to be provided with a copy of the personal data we hold about you, as well as information about how we use your personal data. In most cases, your personal data will be provided to you in written document form, unless otherwise requested by you. If you have requested the provision of this information by electronic means, it will be provided to you electronically if it is technically possible.
Right to rectification - we take reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the information we have about you. If you believe that the data we hold is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please do not hesitate to ask us to adjust, update or supplement this information.
Right to erasure - under certain circumstances you have the right to ask us to erase your personal data, for example, if the personal data we have collected about you is no longer necessary to fulfill the original purpose of processing or if you withdraw your consent to processing. However, your right must be assessed in light of all the relevant circumstances. For example, we may have certain legal and regulatory obligations, meaning that we will not be able to comply with your request.
Right to restriction of processing - under certain circumstances, you are entitled to ask us to stop using your personal data. These are, for example, cases when you think that the personal data we have about you may be inaccurate or when you think that we no longer need to use your personal data.
The right to data portability - under certain circumstances, you have the right to ask us to transfer the personal data you have provided to us to another third party of your choice. However, the right to portability only applies to personal data that we have obtained from you on the basis of consent or on the basis of a contract to which you are a party.
Right to object - you have the right to object to data processing based on our legitimate legitimate interests (for example, we process personal data for the purpose of network and infrastructure security). If we do not have a compelling, legitimate reason for the processing and you file an objection, we will not process your personal data further.
Rights related to automated decision-making - you have the right to refuse automated decision-making, including profiling, which results in legal or similar significant consequences for you. The controller does not normally use automated decision-making or profiling in the context of employment.
The right to withdraw consent - in most cases, we do not process your personal data based on your consent. However, it may happen that in specific cases we ask for your consent. In cases where we do this, you have the right to withdraw your consent to further use of your personal data. (e.g. Photography)
The right to lodge a complaint - if you wish to lodge a complaint about the way your personal data is processed, including exercising the above rights, you can contact (the contact details are specified above). We will duly check all your suggestions and complaints.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, or if you believe that we process your personal data unfairly or illegally, you can file a complaint with the supervisory authority, which is the Personal Data Protection Office of the Slovak Republic, https://dataprotection.gov.sk, Hraničná 12 , 820 07 Bratislava 27; phone number: +421 /2/ 3231 3214; E-mail: statny.dozor@pdp.gov.sk. However, we will be happy if you resolve your objections with us first.
HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS
You always exercise your rights with the person who processes your personal data, i.e. with a specific controller. If the controller has a responsible person, you can also address your request to this person. The request can be oral, written, electronic, or submitted by other means (the General Data Protection Regulation does not prescribe a specific form). We recommend using mainly the written or electronic form.
Prepare identification data such as contract number, your ID with the controller, username or password, etc., that is, an identifier on the basis of which the controller will be able to identify you in his environment and thus provide you with data related to you.
We will respond to your request free of charge within 30 days. In case of complexity or a large number of requests, we are entitled to extend this period by another 60 days. If this happens, we will inform you about it and the reasons. In the event of a repeated request, we are entitled to charge a reasonable administrative fee to cover the costs associated with providing this service.
The right of the data subject to object to automated decision-making cannot be exercised, because the described processing activity does not include automated decision-making.
The right of the data subject to request, from the controller, information about the source of the personal data is irrelevant because the controller processes personal data collected from the data subject.
CONCLUSION
If you have questions about the protection of personal data, you can contact us at any time by e-mail or by post at the controller's registered office. If you exercise some of the rights of the data subject with us according to the legislation governing the protection of personal data and it is not possible to verify the identity of the requesting person from your request, or if we have legitimate doubts in connection with the identity of the person submitting the request, we reserve the right to ask this person to provide additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the person making the request.
