10 Rights of the DS

Under the terms of the GDPR and the Act, the DS may exercise the following rights:

Right of access

Under certain conditions, the DS has the right to access its personal data (including information about their processing), which is available to the Administrator.

The request for the provision of such data must be made in person or in writing and sent to the Administrator's address or by e-mail. If possible, please specify the type of data you are interested in so that our response meets your expectations. The administrator must be able to verify your identity.

Your request must not violate the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to correct incorrect or incomplete personal data

The DS has the right to object to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of its personal data processed by the Administrator. If it becomes clear that personal data are incorrect, the DS has the right to have these incorrect data removed, corrected or supplemented in an appropriate manner.

We recommend that you notify us immediately of any changes regarding your personal data, especially changes of name, address, etc.

Send the notification to the Administrator's address or by e-mail.

This right only applies to your own personal data.

Please be as specific as possible when exercising this right.

Right to data portability

Under certain conditions, the DS has the right to receive data that has been provided by it to the Administrator and that is processed automatically, in a common machine-readable format.

The request for the provision of such data must be made in writing and sent to the Administrator's address or by e-mail. If possible, please specify the type of data you are interested in so that our response meets your expectations.

This right applies to cases where the data processing takes place based on your consent or on the basis of a contract signed by you and when the data is processed automatically (e.g. it is not a record in printed form).

It only applies to the personal data you have provided. As a rule, it therefore does not apply to personal data created by the Administrator (created and derived data).

The right to object to processing

An objection to the processing of personal data must be made in writing and sent to the Administrator's postal address or by e-mail.

You have this right only if your personal data is processed for the legitimate interests of the Administrator. The objection must be based on facts relating to your specific situation so that it can be properly evaluated.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, DS has the right to object at any time without further ado. In such a case, personal data of DS will not be further processed for marketing purposes;

 

Right to restriction of processing

Under certain conditions, the DS has the right to request that the Administrator limit the processing of personal data.

Send your request in writing or by email.

You have this right, for example, if (i) you challenge the correctness of personal data for a period until their correctness is not verified or (ii) the processing is illegal or (iii) you have raised an objection to their processing, for a period until it is verified, whether the Administrator's legitimate reasons outweigh your interests.

Right to deletion of personal data

Under certain conditions, the DS has the right to request the erasure of its personal data (this right is also known as the "right to be forgotten"), e.g. when the DS believes that the processed data is inaccurate or that the processing is illegal or has withdrawn its consent.

Send your request in writing or by email.

There are several legal reasons on the basis of which the Administrator may not be able to comply with your request to delete personal data. This may be, for example, situations where (i) the Administrator must comply with his legal obligations, or (ii) the Administrator exercises or defends his legitimate interests, or (iii) the data is necessary for the performance of the concluded contract.

The right to withdraw consent

The DS has the right to revoke the given consent to any processing of personal data.

Send the request in writing or by e-mail.

If you withdraw your consent, its withdrawal will only be effective for the future.

The right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority

The DS has the right to file a complaint with the Office for the Protection of Personal Data (ÚOOÚ) if it believes that the Controller is violating its legal obligations when processing personal data.

10.1 General provisions for exercising the rights of the DS

The administrator will respond to any request from the DS related to the exercise of his rights without undue delay, at most within one month from the delivery of the request. If necessary, this deadline can be extended by another two months, taking into account the complexity and number of applications, about which the DS will be informed. In case of serious requests (e.g. request for data transfer or request for deletion), the Administrator is entitled to request verification of the identity of the DS (e.g. verified signature of the DS on the request, email with an electronic signature or telephone verification).

In the case of repeated or clearly unfounded requests to exercise the right of DS, the Administrator may charge the applicant a reasonable fee. The DS will be informed in advance about the application of this option and the expected amount of the fee.
