The user can manage cookies and withdraw their consent throughout their visit to the website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing conducted prior to the withdrawal.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

In certain situations, personal data may be processed based on established legitimate interests. When processing is based on this legal basis, individuals have the right to object to such processing. However, processing cannot be restricted or suspended if there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or when the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. Such processing is in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

The processing activities we carry out based on legitimate interests are as follows:

Retention period of recordings: Up to 3 days, or in the case of an incident, up to 6 months. A longer retention period is possible if the recordings are evidence in a judicial, administrative, arbitration, or other legal proceedings.

Other recipients: Video recordings can only be provided upon request to competent authorities (such as the police or court) when necessary for official proceedings and cannot be disclosed to other individuals.

The collected data is not processed for any other purposes.

  1. b) NEWSLETTER

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

The collected personal data may be shared with providers of IT and communication solutions and services who act as our data processors.

These processors provide reasonable guarantees and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection and compliance with the requirements of the GDPR.

However, certain personal data (such as an email address) may continue to be processed based on legitimate interests (for marketing purposes, such as sending information about our services) as long as there is a legitimate purpose for the processing or until such processing is restricted or entirely prohibited by raising an objection or unsubscribing from the recipient list.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google regarding the use of this service. The data generated by cookies about the usage of our website by users is typically transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. This process will only occur if you consent to the collection of Google Analytics cookies when visiting our website. In this case, Google will process the data collected by cookies on our behalf to evaluate the usage of our website and provide us with reports on website activity, which we can analyse. The purpose of Google Analytics is to analyse traffic on our website. In simple terms, Google collects data and information to assess the usability of our website and provide online reports that help us improve the user experience. Google may disclose this data to third parties as required by law or if the analysis is conducted on behalf of Google by a third party. We want to emphasize that we have implemented additional protection measures by including the “gat._anonymize();” code in Google Analytics on this website to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (known as IP masking).
