Personal Data We Process

For the purposes detailed in section 4 of this policy, we process the following personal data:

Concerning individuals interested in collaborating with Zdroje Zeme
Pertaining to individuals interested in staying updated about Zdroje Zeme’s latest offerings.

Nevertheless, in line with the principle of ‘personal data processing minimisation’ as stipulated in the GDPR, we only process data as required. This typically involves: full name, email address and phone number.

Our data processing activities do not encompass ‘special categories of personal data’ as described in the GDPR or data related to individuals below 16 years of age.

It is imperative that the personal data we process is accurate and current. Should any of your personal data undergo changes during its processing period, please keep us informed.

Purposes of Personal Data Processing

We handle your personal data to achieve the following objectives:

Engaging with you to address inquiries, feedback or suggestions made through this website or using the contact information available here.
Lawful marketing activities on behalf of the Controller.
Administering and safeguarding this website.

Should we use your personal data for direct marketing, such as newsletter distribution, you’ll always retain the option to unsubscribe should you opt not to receive them in the future.

Legal Bases of Personal Data Processing

The processing of your personal data for communication (as outlined in point 4(a) above) and for marketing (as described in point 4(b) above) is predicated on our legitimate interest in:
i. Engaging actively with individuals who display an interest in our collaboration, offerings or services.
ii. Efficiently marketing and promoting our business activities. While our legitimate interests underpin the legal basis for processing your data, your rights and interests always take precedence over our considerations.

Regarding the administration and protection of this website as stated in point 4(c), the legal basis for processing personal data similarly rests on our vested interest in guaranteeing IT service provision and upholding site security.

The basis for processing your data, grounded in our legitimate interest, aligns with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Nonetheless, you maintain the right to object to certain processing activities involving your personal data. To exercise this right, please contact us in writing, either at our registered office (as detailed at the start of this Policy) or via email at info@biograda.eu. Upon receipt, we’ll diligently assess your objection and update you on the resolution.

Duration of Personal Data Processing

Your personal data is retained for the duration necessary to accomplish the objectives for which we initially collected it. Specifically, your data is processed for a period of 5 years from the acquisition date. We routinely review the validity of our data retention timelines. Upon reaching the end of the specified processing period, we halt data processing and either erase or destroy the related personal data.

Sharing Personal Data with Third Parties

In alignment with the processing purposes outlined in this policy, your personal data is also processed by third-party entities.

Such third parties primarily comprise service providers engaged by the Data Controller Zdroje Zeme to manage your personal data, consistent with the objectives detailed in this Policy. This specifically encompasses services related to technical and software support, administration of the Data Controller’s marketing and sales endeavours and businesses through which the Data Controller Zdroje Zeme conducts its operational activities.

A company offering web support and marketing communication services also plays a role in your personal data processing as a data sub-processor.

In connection with cookies that don’t necessitate consent as per our Cookie Policy (see the link above), our data processors include:

Both processors and sub-processors are mandated to handle your personal data exclusively for the purposes specified in this policy. Your data isn’t shared with external entities for standalone usage or processing that diverges from the objectives of this Policy.

International Transfers of Personal Data

Your personal data is processed within a software system under a licensing agreement between the Data Controller Zdroje Zeme and the software system provider. This system is housed on servers owned by the software provider, which are situated in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Your Rights Pertaining to Personal Data Protection

The GDPR equips you with an extensive set of rights regarding your personal data. We honour these rights and are committed to enabling you to exercise them in full. In relation to your personal data, the GDPR entitles you to:
