Personal data is handled by our employees under our instructions, and we require them to sign confidentiality agreements.

6. Your Rights

You may request information at any time about the processing of your personal data.
You may also request the correction, clarification, deletion, or restriction of your personal data and exercise all rights to which you are entitled under applicable law. These rights include the following:

6.1. Right of Access

  • whether data processing is taking place,

  • the purposes of the processing,

  • the categories of personal data concerned,

  • the recipients (to whom the data may be disclosed),

  • the period for which the data will be stored, or the criteria used to determine that period,

  • your rights as a data subject and available remedies,

  • the source of the data, if it was not collected directly from you,

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling,

  • and whether there is any international data transfer involved.

The Data Controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing free of charge on the first occasion.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using any of the contact methods listed above, and we will get in touch with you.

6.2. Right to Rectification

Upon the Data Subject’s request, the Data Controller is obliged to rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning the Data Subject without undue delay.

Taking into account the purpose of the data processing, the Data Subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

6.3. Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

The Data Subject has the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning them from the Data Controller.

The Data Controller is obliged to delete the Data Subject’s personal data without undue delay if any of the following conditions apply:

  • the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected,

  • the Data Subject withdraws their consent and there is no other legal ground for processing,

  • the Data Subject objects to processing carried out in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority, or based on legitimate interests of the controller (or a third party), and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing,

  • the personal data was unlawfully processed,

  • the personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation applicable to the Data Controller,

  • the personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services.

The Data Subject’s right to erasure may be restricted only in the cases specified by the GDPR, meaning that even in the above cases, continued retention of the personal data may be considered lawful if:

  • it is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information,

  • it is required to comply with a legal obligation,

  • it is needed for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest,

  • it is necessary for the exercise of official authority vested in the controller,

  • it serves the public interest in the area of public health,

  • it is necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest,

  • it is required for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes,

  • it is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

6.4. Right to Restriction of Processing

The Data Subject has the right to request that the Data Controller restrict the processing of personal data if any of the following conditions apply:

  • The Data Subject contests the accuracy of the personal data; in this case, processing will be restricted for a period enabling the Data Controller to verify the accuracy of the data.

  • The processing is unlawful, and the Data Subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of its use.

  • The Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the Data Subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  • The Data Subject has objected to processing carried out in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority, or based on the legitimate interests of the Data Controller (or a third party); in such cases, the restriction applies during the period in which it is verified whether the legitimate grounds of the Data Controller override those of the Data Subject.

6.5. Right to Object

The Data Subject has the right to object, at any time and on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data carried out in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority, or based on the legitimate interests of the Data Controller (or a third party), including profiling based on those grounds.

In such a case, the Data Controller shall no longer process the personal data unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the Data Subject, or which are related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the Data Subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for such purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If the Data Subject objects to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for this purpose.

6.6. Right to Data Portability

The Data Subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a data controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and has the right to transmit those data to another data controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data were provided, if:

  • the processing is based on the Data Subject’s consent or on a contract concluded with the Data Subject, and

  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising the right to data portability, the Data Subject also has the right—where technically feasible—to request the direct transmission of personal data from one controller to another.

6.7. Right to Withdraw Consent

The Data Subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. Retention Period

How Long Will We Use Your Personal Data?

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and whether those purposes can be achieved by other means.

Recordings from security cameras located in Company premises are retained for 30 days to protect human life and physical safety, as well as to safeguard hazardous materials.

By law, we are required to retain basic information about our clients (including contact persons, identifiers, financial, and transaction data) for 8 years due to invoicing regulations. After this period, such data will no longer be retained.

In the case of employees, upon termination of employment, documents containing personal data that are not legally required to be retained will be personally returned by the managing director.

In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data.

Generally, No Fee Is Required If:

You do not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).

However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive — and we will always inform you in advance before applying such a fee.

Response Timeframe

We aim to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

Occasionally, it may take longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made multiple requests.

In such cases, we will notify you and keep you updated on the progress..

13. Definitions

Data Processing

The performance of technical tasks related to data processing operations, regardless of the methods and tools used or the location of execution, provided the tasks are performed on the data. In the context of this policy, data processing especially refers to any technical data operation not requiring substantive decision-making, performed by a data processor on behalf of the data controller.

Data Processor

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or any other body which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

Data Processing Operation

Any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or data sets, whether by automated or non-automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission or dissemination, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Data Controller

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or any other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means are determined by Union or Member State law, the data controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may also be laid down by such law.

Pseudonymization

The processing of personal data in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure non-attribution to an identified or identifiable person.

Anonymization

A technical process that ensures the permanent exclusion of the possibility to re-establish the link between the data and the data subject.

Consent of the Data Subject

A freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Direct Marketing

All forms of direct communication and related services aimed at informing the data subject about products or services, sending advertisements, or informing consumers or business partners for the purpose of promoting transactions (purchases).

DPO (Data Protection Officer)

Data Subject

Any identified or identifiable natural person to whom the personal data relates, either directly or indirectly.

Supervisory Authority Concerned:

A supervisory authority is considered concerned by data processing when:

b) the processing substantially affects or is likely to substantially affect data subjects residing in its Member State;

c) a complaint has been lodged with that authority.

Third Party

A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, data controller, processor, and persons authorized to process data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

Consent

A voluntary and definite expression of the data subject’s will, based on adequate information, by which they give clear and unambiguous consent to the processing of their personal data—whether for full processing or specific operations.

Except for special categories of data, no specific form is required for consent; it may be given by express declaration or implied conduct but must always be demonstrable.

Special Categories of Data

a) Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or party affiliation, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sexual life;

b) Personal data concerning health, addictions, or criminal records.
