A data subject is a natural person whose personal data we process, particularly, but not exclusively, employees and clients. Such data subjects, whose personal data is processed in our information systems for specifically defined purposes, have rights that they can exercise in writing or electronically with the controller's contact person. The data subject is YOU.

Right of access to personal data

i.e., the right to obtain from the competent person confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning the data subject who has exercised their right are being processed, as well as the right to access such data. As a data subject, you are entitled to access information about: the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the recipients, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, the logic involved in any automatic processing, and the envisaged consequences of such processing, etc. (Art. 15 of the Regulation). As a controller, we have the right to use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject who requests access, in particular in the context of online services and online identifiers. Upon the data subject's request, the controller shall issue a confirmation of whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If the controller processes such data, they will issue a copy of the personal data of the data subject upon request. The issue of the first copy is free of charge. For any further copies requested by the person, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. Where the data subject makes the request by electronic means, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form, usually via e-mail, unless otherwise requested by the data subject.

Right to restriction of processing

can be exercised if you, as the data subject, contest the accuracy of the personal data and other conditions under Article 18, Recital 67 of the Regulation, in the form of temporarily moving the selected personal data to another processing system, making the selected personal data unavailable to users, or temporarily removing published data from a website.

Right to rectification

if the controller registers incorrect personal data about the data subject. At the same time, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed. The controller shall rectify or complete the personal data without undue delay upon the data subject's request.

Right to erasure

"to be forgotten" with respect to the personal data concerning them (the data subject). However, given its nature and seriousness, this right is limited by other conditions; i.e., the controller shall erase personal data without undue delay when this right is exercised, provided one of the following grounds applies: a) the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; b) the data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing is based; c) the data subject objects to the processing of personal data; d) the personal data have been unlawfully processed; e) the personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject; f) the personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services to a person under 16 years of age.

The data subject shall not have the right to erasure if the processing is necessary: a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health; d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, in so far as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or e) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

The controller shall erase the personal data of data subjects based on a request without undue delay after assessing that the data subject's request is justified.

Right to initiate proceedings

The data subject has the right to file a motion to initiate proceedings with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic if they believe that their rights in the field of personal data protection have been violated.

Right to object

The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them. They may object to the processing of their personal data based on: a) the legal ground of the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, or the legal ground of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller; b) processing for direct marketing purposes; c) processing for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes. We will assess the received objection within a reasonable time. In this case, we shall no longer process the personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to data portability

As a data subject, you have the right to have the personal data you have provided to a controller transmitted to another controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, provided that the personal data were collected based on the data subject's consent or a contract, and the processing is carried out by automated means.

Further Information:

  • The purpose of personal data processing is the reason for which the controller processes the personal data of data subjects in information systems based on specifically determined legal grounds. Every processing of personal data is based on a specific legal ground and for a specifically determined, legitimate, and explicitly stated purpose.
  • To maximize the protection of your personal data, we, as the Controller, have adopted appropriate personnel, organizational, and technical measures. Our goal is to prevent, or reduce as much as possible, the risk of leakage, misuse, disclosure, or other use of your personal data. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, you, as the data subject, will be contacted without undue delay (Art. 34 of the Regulation).
  • In order to maintain the principles of personal data processing established by the Regulation and the Act, especially the principle of data minimization, we require from you as the data subject only those personal data that are a necessary legal or contractual requirement to fulfill the purpose of their processing. Please note that failure to provide these mandatory data necessary for the conclusion of the contract may result in the non-conclusion of the contractual relationship.
