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.

3. Duration for Which Your Personal Data is Stored 

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 is necessary for us to have in order to fulfill our legal obligations is kept for the period required by the relevant legal regulations. Unless the re-tention period for the personal data is explicitly stated, the data is stored for as long as the obligation lasts.
• 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.

We have internal rules in place that verify the lawfulness of the possession of per-sonal data, and we do not hold data for longer than we are entitled to.
