Zlate & Partners, as data controller, provides this Privacy Notice to explain how we collect, use and protect your personal data.
We provide this notice at the start of your interaction with our website.
1. Scope of this Privacy Notice
This notice applies to the processing of personal data relating to:
- Our contractual partners such as suppliers, vendors and clients (“Business Partners”);
- Visitors and users of our website.
2. Information we collect about you
We collect and process your personal data when you interact with us or correspond with us by phone, email or otherwise. This includes information you provide when registering to use our website or subscribing to our services, such as name, address, email address, phone number, personal description, photograph, age, date of birth and gender, as well as other information where applicable.
We do not collect or process sensitive personal data relating to you (for example information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health, sex life or sexual orientation). If you voluntarily provide personal data (including sensitive personal data) through interaction with our website or correspondence with us, we will delete such data from our systems unless we consider processing necessary for a legitimate purpose.
Each time you visit our website, we automatically collect technical data (such as IP address, browser type and version, time zone, operating system and device type) and data about your visit (such as URLs, clickstream, pages viewed, response times and interaction data). Some of this data may be collected through third-party cookies; see our Cookie Policy for details.
In some cases we obtain personal data from third parties such as business partners, service providers, payment and delivery subcontractors, advertising agencies, analytics providers and credit reference agencies.
3. How we use personal data and legal basis
We may process your personal data where necessary to perform a contract with you; to comply with a legal obligation; where necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests; to protect your vital interests; or where necessary for the public interest or official purposes.
We process your personal data for technical, administrative and operational reasons, including presenting content effectively, improving our website, internal operations, troubleshooting, analytics, testing, research, statistics, advertising and marketing, and keeping our website secure.
Where we request personal data to comply with legal or contractual obligations, providing such data is mandatory. In all other cases, providing personal data is optional.
We may also process identification and contact data for the possible exercise of our rights or claims against you in the future, based on our legitimate interest.
4. Disclosure of your personal data
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Personal data may be disclosed to government authorities and/or law enforcement where required by applicable law or necessary to protect our legitimate interests. Data may also be disclosed to service providers supporting IT, security and business operations; business partners and subcontractors; and analytics and search engine providers. External advisers (such as lawyers, accountants and auditors) may also receive data where necessary.
We require service providers to maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures and to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions.
5. Storage and international transfers
Personal data we collect is stored in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). Information collected by third parties through cookies may be processed on servers inside or outside the EEA; see our Cookie Policy.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms approved under applicable law.
6. Your rights
You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data, access to a copy, correction or deletion. In certain circumstances you may request portability, object to processing (including direct marketing) or restrict processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without detriment.
These rights may be limited in certain situations under applicable data protection law. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU Member State where you live, work or where the alleged infringement occurred.
7. Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice and/or as required by applicable law. Where processing is based on consent, data is processed for the period covered by your consent unless withdrawn earlier.
8. Data security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access. Data may be stored on servers hosted by third parties under contractual security obligations. Transmission over the internet is not completely secure; any transmission is at your own risk.
