8. THE USE OF COOKIES

Like other similar commercial websites, the Controller also uses the standard technology called cookies as well as the web server technical log files in order to obtain information about how the Users use the website.

The use of cookies and web server log files allows the Controller to monitor visits to the Website and to tailor the content to the User’s personal needs.

A cookie is a small piece of information (file) that often carries an anonymised, unique identifier. When a User visits a website, the website asks their computer for permission to store this file on a portion of their computer's hard drive that is specifically designed to store cookies.

Each website that a User visits can send a cookie to their computer if it is allowed by the settings of the browser they are using. However, in order to protect the User’s data, their browser only allows the website to access the cookie that the website has sent to their computer, i.e. a website does not have access to cookies sent by other websites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.

However, if the User does not wish to receive cookies, they can set their browser to refuse to accept cookies. In this case, some elements of the Website may not work effectively. Cookies cannot retrieve other information from the hard drive of the User’s computer and do not carry viruses.

9. SECURITY OF DATA PROCESSED

The Controller is obliged to ensure data security, to take the technical and organisational actions as well as to work out the procedural rules ensuring that the collected, stored and processed data are protected; furthermore, it prevents the annihilation, the unauthorised usage and the unauthorised modification of such data. The Controller also undertakes to permanently destroy the processed data at the end of the retention period.

The integrity and operability of the IT system and the data storage environment are checked with advanced monitoring techniques, and the necessary capacities are continuously provided. Events in the IT environment are recorded by using complex logging functions, thus ensuring the subsequent detection and legal proof of potential incidents. We use a redundant network environment that continuously provides high bandwidth to serve our websites, securely distributing the upcoming loads among our resources.

We ensure the planned disaster resilience ability of our systems, ensuring the continuity of business operations and thus the continuous service of users at a high level, with organisational and technical means.

Priority is given to the controlled installation of security patches and vendor updates that also ensure the integrity of our IT systems, thus preventing, avoiding and addressing attempts to gain access or cause damage by exploiting vulnerabilities. We regularly inspect our IT environment through security testing, correct any detected errors or vulnerabilities, and consider it an ongoing task to support the security of the IT system. We set high security standards for our employees that also include confidentiality, and we ensure their fulfilment through regular training and strive to operate planned and controlled processes with regard to their internal operations.

Any incidents involving personal data detected or reported during our operations are investigated in a transparent manner, in accordance with responsible and rigorous principles, within 72 hours. Incidents that have occurred are processed and recorded.

When developing our services and IT solutions we ensure that the principle of built-in data protection is met and data protection is treated as a priority already in the planning phase.

10. RIGHTS OF THE USER

Right to prior information

The User has the right to receive notification about the facts and information related to data processing prior to starting the data processing. This Privacy Notice ensures the enforcement of this right.

Right to rectification

The User may request the Controller to rectify or complete any personal information that is incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete. Before rectifying the erroneous data, the Controller may verify the truthfulness or accuracy of the data.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

At the request of the User, the Controller shall erase the User's personal data in the following cases:
• if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of the data processing specified when the data was collected, or
• if the User has withdrawn their consent (where the data processing is based on consent), or
• if the User exercises their right to protest, or
• if the data has been processed unlawfully, or
• if the erasure of the data is required by law.

The Foundation is not obliged to comply with the User's request to erase their personal data if the processing of their personal data is necessary and justified for the following purposes:
• to ensure compliance with a legal obligation, or
• to enforce or defend a right or legitimate interest in court.

Right to restriction of processing (blocking right):

The User may request the restriction of the processing of their data (blocking of data):
• if no correction can be made to ensure the correctness, accuracy or truthfulness of the data, or
• if the processing is unlawful but the User does not request the erasure of the data, or
• if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of the data processing specified when the data was collected but its erasure is prohibited by a court procedure started to enforce certain rights or interests, or
• if the User has exercised their right to protest and the investigation of the lawfulness of the data controller’s actions has not yet been completed.

In case of exercising the right to block, the Controller is entitled to continue using the User’s data if:
• it has received a relevant consent from the User, or
• if the use (existence) of the data is necessary for enforcing a certain right or legitimate interest in court, or

Ensuring data portability (migration)

The User has the right to receive their personal data to which the Controller has access in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form, or to have such data transferred to another data controller.

Right to object

The User has the right at any time to object to their personal data being processed, if they believe that it is desirable for exercising their fundamental rights.

Right to withdraw consent

In the case of data processing based on the Data Subject’s consent, the User may withdraw their consent at any time, which does not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before the withdrawal.

Informing the User about a possible data breach

The Controller shall protect the personal and other types of data of the User to the best of its knowledge and in proportion to the risks, operating a modern and reliable IT environment, and selecting its cooperating partners with special care. It shall implement its internal processes in a regulated and supervised manner in order to prevent or avoid the slightest error, problem or incident in the processing of personal data, or, if any of these occur, to detect, investigate and address the same. Should an incident involving personal data still occur and be likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of Users, the Controller shall inform the User and the data protection authority of the data breach in such manner and with such content as required in the applicable data protection regulations and without undue delay.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

The User should have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or otherwise significantly affects them. The Controller does not have any procedure that uses automated decision making.
