Who else may have access to your personal data from us?

In order to provide you with the best possible service, we involve other parties in the processing of your personal data. As part of such outsourcing, we may also process your personal data, we do not need your consent for such processing.

However, you don’t have to worry about your personal data or your privacy, because our suppliers become so-called processors personal data and can only handle your data in the context of the activities and services they provide to us. We will also still be the ones who decide what happens to your personal data.

For example, IT and marketing service providers are the people to whom we pass your personal data. Specifically, these processors are:

  • Marketing Agency, Number One Digital Ltd;
  • hosting service provider, ACTIVE 24, s.r.o.

In the case of the use of Google services (Google Analytics), all services are set up in such a way as to minimize the amount of personal data transmitted, in particular, the IP address of users is already anonymized on our servers and this personal data is not transmitted to third countries in this context.

Will personal data be processed by automated individual decision-making?

We will not process your personal data by automated individual decision-making. This means that your rights and obligations (for example, whether we enter into a contract with you and provide you with our services) will not be decided automatically by any software that processes your personal data.
