How do we process your personal data?

We would never sell, share, or otherwise unlawfully use your personal data by disclosing them to any third party controller unless you provide us with your explicit consent as required by law, or we have a legal basis and/or obligation to do so.

Your personal data (and other data as well) is processed by our highly qualified employees and internal subcontractors that are required to execute confidentiality and must at all times comply with our personal and confidential information policy. We ensure they are provided with proper data security training during the onboarding process.  Each of them receives an account (secured by a strong password) which allows them to access the corporate e-mailing system, other software systems and selected databases.

We also use external subcontractors, third-party service providers (data processors), for processing your personal data (for example e-cloud hosting services for storage, etc.). The ones established in the EU operate in compliance with GDPR. Nevertheless, many of our external third parties’ service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data involves a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever this happens, we enforce  a similar degree of protection by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• your personal data is processed by third party service providers (data processors) established and operating in countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission;
• your personal data is processed by third party service providers (data processors) with which  we have specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Nevertheless, this website or web-platform for use of our products and services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications (for example, PAYPAL and/or credit card payment service providers, etc.). Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party data processing activities and are not responsible for their privacy policies.

How long will you use or otherwise process my personal data?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

How do we secure your personal data?

We take security of your personal data very seriously!

We store majority of our data using e-cloud based solutions. Numerous studies have established that data stored in the cloud is less likely to be lost, deleted or leaked than data stored on a personal computers and/or other type of personal hardware. We make sure all our data we collect and process is fully encrypted at rest and in transit, by employing state-of-the art firewall and backup technology.

We also make sure our business premises are located in adequately secured buildings, which conform to established security standards. Physical access is controlled and monitored with the following safety measures: transponder card controlled interior door, limited access to on premise server rooms, surveillance systems (alarm, motion detectors, etc.), etc.

We established security measures presented above based on our best knowledge and experience in the field of data security. Notwithstanding, in case of any legislative and/or business requirements changes, we are ready to implement additional measures as soon as possible.

Are we able to notify all the parties concerned in case of any data breach?

Yes. Any such data reach will be notified in accordance with Article 33 of the GDPR without undue delay (where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it) to the parties concerned as well as to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55 of the GDPR.

Which personal data regulation do we comply with?

This privacy policy is governed in accordance with Slovenian and/or EU legislation (whichever prevails), including but not limited to GDPR provisions. If you access our website, products and/or services from outside of EU, you are responsible for compliance with applicable local legislation.
