2. Scope of Personal Data Processing

Your personal data and the processing of your personal information are handled in accordance with the instructions you gave when providing the data to us; generally in connection with a contractual relationship with our company. Data gleaned dif-ferently, (i.e., from public records or from third parties an authority or other body) is handled in a manner compliant with valid and effective regulations on the pro-cessing of such data. Depending on the situation, these may be:

  • identification data (e.g., name, surname, ID number, date and place of birth, position, identity card number, by whom and when the card was issued,
  • card validity, gender, place of birth, nationality, whether the person is politically exposed, tax residence and tax ID),
  • address / contact details (e.g., address of permanent residence, telephone number, mobile phone number, e-mail),
  • data on the services used (e.g., bank account numbers, internal payment account balances, transaction data, telephone call records, other communication records), or
  • other data (e.g., information of a commercial and marketing nature).

These principles of personal data processing are intended for natural persons who-se personal data we process (so-called data subjects). These may be:

  • clients and potential clients of our organization
  • website visitors and users of other communication channels
  • other entities in whose personal data we have a legitimate interest in processing.

In principle, the following applies: if we require your personal data, you are obliged to provide it to us; failure to provide data would lead to the impossibility of estab-lishing a contractual relationship with our company. An exception is the case in which we need your consent to process your personal data. Giving consent is com-pletely voluntary.

Your personal data is stored only for the necessary amount of time and is archived for the allowed time period as per legal regulations:

  • data that we have for the conclusion and fulfillment of contracts is stored for the duration of the contractual relationship;
  • data that we have for ongoing or imminent legal disputes shall be stored for the maximum limitation or preclusion periods (i.e, six months after the expira-tion of such limits). This takes into account the fact that a summons may be served by the court several months after filing;
  • data processed on the basis of our legitimate interest is stored for the duration of such interest (e.g., data stored on a recording from the camera system is stored for a maximum of ten days, commercial messages sent on the basis of our legitimate interest are sent only until you unsubscribe);
  • data processed on the basis of your consent is stored for the period for which you have given your consent.
