The purposes of processing personal data include, in particular, maintaining records necessary for the fulfilment of the Data Controller’s obligations arising from employment and similar relationships involving its employees, students undertaking practical training at the Data Controller’s premises, as well as other contractual and statutory obligations. Personal data are also processed to ensure occupational safety, protect health and safeguard the property of the Data Controller, data subjects and other natural persons present on the Data Controller’s premises and in its facilities.

The categories of data subjects whose personal data are processed primarily include the Data Controller’s employees, their family members and close relatives, students undertaking practical training at the Data Controller’s premises and their legal and authorised representatives, parties to other legal relationships (including contractual relationships, contentious and non-contentious proceedings and similar matters), visitors and, in specific cases, third parties.

The scope of personal data processed depends on the nature of your relationship with the Data Controller and the category of data subjects to which you belong. In particular, the following categories of personal data may be processed:

  1. Identification, contact and status-related data.
  2. Data relating to personnel administration, payroll, social security, contributions, taxation and accounting.
  3. Operational data.
  4. Data relating to access rights.
  5. Photographs and CCTV recordings.
  6. Other data relating to the performance of work and the maintenance of operational records.
  7. Other data relating to contractual relationships with the Data Controller.

This list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Specific and detailed information regarding the processing of your personal data will always be provided before the relevant processing activity begins (upon initial contact and when you first provide your personal data to the Data Controller).

We may process your personal data without your consent:

  1. On the basis of specific legislation and international treaties binding on the Slovak Republic.
  2. Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  3. Where processing is necessary to protect the life, health or property of the data subject or another person.
  4. Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or a third party.
  5. Where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Where personal data are not processed on any of the above grounds, the Data Controller may, in exceptional and isolated cases, process personal data on the basis of the data subject’s freely given consent, solely for the purposes, within the scope and for the period specified in that consent.

CCTV Recordings

With reference to the legitimate interests of the Data Controller or a third party mentioned above, we would like to inform you about the processing of your personal data for the purposes of ensuring security, protecting life, health, property and other assets when entering, moving within and leaving the Data Controller’s premises and facilities. Such processing also serves to maintain order, protect the life and health of persons in publicly accessible areas, investigate undesirable incidents, and prevent and detect unlawful activities and similar incidents.

The premises, buildings and all points of entry from public areas into the Data Controller’s facilities (including entrances and security gates) are monitored by a CCTV system.

CCTV recordings from individual devices are retained for a maximum period of 15 days, after which they are automatically deleted, meaning they are permanently destroyed.

We collect and process personal data of data subjects only for specifically defined and legitimate purposes, in accordance with the principles of proportionality, lawfulness, fairness and transparency, and only to the extent necessary for the purposes of processing (the principle of data minimisation). The Data Controller has also implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures for the processing of personal data in accordance with the Regulation and the Act.

All processing activities, procedures, security measures and personal data protection arrangements are governed by the Data Controller’s internal regulations.
