If the respondent decides to exercise one of the aforementioned rights, the company will act on the request of the respondent without undue delay, but certainly within one month of submitting the request of the respondent. This period can be extended, if necessary, by an additional two months, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. The company will inform the respondent of any such extension within one month of receiving his request, along with the reasons for the delay. If the company has justified doubts regarding the identity of the individual submitting the request, it may request the provision of additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the respondent.
The company provides information provided in accordance with the request of the respondent free of charge, but if the requests of the respondent are clearly unfounded or excessive, especially due to their frequent repetition, the company may:
- charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or notification or acting on the request;
- refuse to comply with the request.
9. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
When processing, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data necessary to protect personal data from accidental loss, destruction, unauthorized access, unauthorized change, unauthorized publication and any other misuse.
We ensured the protection of our computer system by using antivirus, antispam, antispyware and antimalware programs, as well as an appropriate firewall. Also, access to certain personal data is provided only to those persons of the company who are authorized to process it.
We have also ensured personal data protection measures, which include: placing equipment in protected rooms with limited access, the existence of computer data backup systems, the engagement of IT experts who maintain and evaluate the effectiveness of technical personal data protection measures, using passwords on computers used in business and others.
All employees of the company have been informed and educated about the provisions of the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data, about the obligation to comply with them and the manner of their implementation, and are obliged to preserve the confidentiality of these data.
10. FURTHER PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA FOR OTHER PURPOSES
In the event that there is a need to process personal data for a purpose other than that specified in this Policy, before the start of such processing, the company will deliver a new notice in which it will provide all information about the processing for that other purpose.
11. VIOLATIONS, COMPLAINTS AND INQUIRIES
In the event of a breach of personal data (accidental or illegal destruction, loss, modification, unauthorized sharing or access to personal data), the company will assess the risk to personal data caused by the breach and, without undue delay and, if feasible, no later than 72 hours after learning about it breach, report to AZOP about the breach of personal data, unless the risk assessment has determined that it is unlikely that the breach of personal data will cause a risk to your rights and freedoms. When assessing the existence and level of risk, the company will take into account the type of breach, the type, sensitivity and amount of data covered by the breach, especially whether the breach may lead to identity theft, how easy it is to identify the respondent through the data covered by the breach, how severe are the consequences of the breach for of the respondent, especially depending on whether it is sensitive data and the type of breach (accidental or intentional), as well as depending on the characteristics of the respondent and their number covered by the breach and the characteristics of the company, as the data controller.
In the event of a breach of personal data which, according to the risk analysis carried out, is likely to cause a high risk to your rights and freedoms, the company will also notify you of the breach of personal data, unless:
- adequate technical and organizational protection measures have been taken and these measures have been applied to the personal data affected by the personal data breach, especially those that make the personal data unintelligible to any person who is not authorized to access it, such as encryption,
- follow-up measures have been taken to ensure that it is no longer likely that a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject will occur (the company managed to take actions that prevented the use and further sharing of the violated personal data),
- would require a disproportionate effort to notify the data subject (e.g. the subjects’ contacts were lost due to the breach, and this was made public or communicated to the data subjects).
When necessary, notification of the violation will be transmitted to you by direct communication (e-mail, letter), separated from other notifications, or if this is not possible due to the violation, public notification or a similar measure will be carried out by which the respondents are informed in an equally effective way.
