that as the administrator of your personal data we meet all statutory obligations required by valid legislation, in particular by the Personal Data Protection Act and the GDPR. In particular:

  • we fulfil the information obligation before the processing of personal data as per the Article 13 of the GDPR,
  • we will process your personal data only on the basis of a valid legal reason (in particular legitimate interest, contract performance, legal obligations or consent given by you),

What Personal Data Are We Processing, For What Purpose And For How Long?

We process your personal data that you provide to us for the following reasons:

Products sale, provision of services and contract performance

Your personal data, i.e. billing information, email, telephone, correspondence address, or job position and department is necessarily needed to fulfil the contract (delivery of goods and services).

Accounting

If you are our customer, we necessarily need your personal data (billing information) because we are legally required to issue, record and archive tax documents.

Marketing – providing information

We use your personal information (email, name, company name and job position), sex, what you click on in email messages for the purpose of direct marketing and to inform you about the latest news in the industry. We do so based on our legitimate interest because we suppose you are interested in these news. If you are not our customer, we are sending you marketing information as per your prior consent. You can stop receiving marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in such emails or directly on the web after logging into your user profile.

Photos a video recordings

At some of our events, we produce photographic documentation or video footage to promote our newsletter. These pictures do not include names of the people, except for a reference on the basis of consent. If you do not want to be on the records, please let us know using our contact details prior the event. Of course, we will also remove these photos or videos as per your additional request.

We retain your personal information during the limitation period unless the law states otherwise or we have stated otherwise in specific cases.

Cookies

When visiting our website, we record your IP address, how much time you spend on the site, and which site you are coming from. We consider the use of cookies to measure our site traffic and personalize our site view as our legitimate administrator interest because we believe it helps us offer you better services. You can disable cookies in your Internet browser on your computer. See the instructions for the relevant Internet browser.

Provision of Personal Data to Third Parties

Our employees and co-workers who are bound by confidentiality and training in the area of personal data protection have access to your personal data. We can do most of the processing operations on our own. However, we use third-party services and applications that are specialized in the given processing and comply with the GDPR to provide some specific actions we cannot provide on our own.

They are the providers of these services and platforms:

  • bart.sk - development and operation of web and e-shop, hosting of our domains
  • MailJet – distribution of marketing and service emails from e-shop
  • Facebook - FB pixel (anonymous statistics on social network traffic)
  • Google - Google Analytics (anonymous statistics on the traffic and usage of our site), Google Adwords
  • HotJar - anonymous statistics on the use of our website
  • CallPage – a tool that allows a quick phone call on our web
  • Shipping companies for the delivery of goods (DHL, DPD, EMS, FedEx, GLS, INTIME, Slovenská pošta, TNT, UPS, DB Schenker)
We may decide to use third-party services and applications in the future. We will, however, surely have at least the same demands on security and quality of processing (with regard to GDPR) as on ourselves.


Providing Data outside the EU

We process personal data only in the European Union or in countries that provide an adequate level based on a European Commission decision.
