In the following declaration on the processing of personal data, we would like to inform you about the processing of your personal data by our company in connection with your use of the website https://Press.News (hereinafter referred to as "Press.News").

  1. Company

    The controller of your personal data is the company INFOPROFI GROUP s.r.o., Vídeňská 545/76, 148 00 Prague, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section C, Insert 281298, ID No: 06382673, VAT No: CZ06382673 (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"). The Company may act as a controller or processor of personal data when processing personal data.

  2. Type and origin of the data processed by the Company

    We process the personal data of Press.News users mainly for the purpose of preparing or fulfilling contractual and legal obligations arising from our activities, so that we can provide our services to Press.News users. If the Company acts as a processor in the processing of personal data, the purpose and means of processing are determined by the respective controller. The term processing means the collection, storage, deletion, and in some cases, further transfer of personal data. We obtain the personal data we process directly from Press.News users during registration, by monitoring their activity on our website, or possibly on the basis of legitimate interests we have in the given case. We may also partially process personal data that we have obtained in other ways from publicly available sources (e.g., the commercial register or other registers) in accordance with currently valid data protection laws.

  3. Purposes of processing by the Company as a personal data controller and legal titles for processing

    When we act as a personal data controller, we always process data only for permitted purposes and in accordance with currently valid legal regulations. We process the personal data of Press.News users either without your consent on the basis of fulfilling contractual or legal obligations and on the basis of our legitimate interest, or with your consent. We process personal data to fulfill our contractual obligations to Press.News users, most often in connection with creating a user account, providing services of other linked applications, and sending informational messages. When you use our website, we use cookies to monitor traffic and improve our services. When providing our services and operating Press.News, we may also process personal data for journalistic purposes, as a basis for preparing reports or articles.

    The Company processes the following personal data:

    • identification and contact data, which are mainly name and surname, username and password, especially email address, or phone number;
    • your settings, which means the data in your account, especially newsletter settings;
    • data about your behavior on the website, especially the services you view, the videos you play, the links you click, the way you move around our site and scroll the screen, and also data about the device from which you view our site, such as the IP address and the location derived from it, device identification, its technical parameters such as the operating system and its version, and also data obtained from cookies and similar technologies for device identification;
    • derived data, which means personal data derived from your settings, data about your behavior on the website, and data about your behavior when reading emails we send you; this mainly includes data about your gender, age, location from which you access our website, and your relationship with various services;
    • data related to your communication with us, which mainly includes the identification of messages you send us, including identifiers such as IP addresses.
  4. Information about a change of purpose

    If we ever process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which we originally collected it, we will inform you of this new purpose in accordance with legal regulations.

  5. Purposes of processing by the Company as a personal data processor

    In the event that the Company acts as a processor of your personal data, the purpose and means of such processing are always determined by the respective personal data controller. Even in such a case, however, our Company complies with all legal regulations concerning the processing of your personal data and provides a high level of security for them. The Company never conceals the purpose for which personal data is collected and further processed.

  6. Recipients of your data

    In some cases, personal data may be made available to third parties as processors, in particular to the Company's sister companies, individual external suppliers of our Company, operators of technologies used by the Company, or, to the extent strictly necessary, to the Company's legal or tax advisors. In addition, we may transfer personal data to other recipients if we are required to do so by law. In all other cases, we will only transfer your personal data to third parties if you grant us the appropriate permission.

  7. Transfer to third countries or international organizations

    We do not transfer your data to recipients in countries without an adequate level of data protection (third countries).

  8. Deadlines for storing and retaining personal data

    We process personal data for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations only for the period necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. As soon as the data is no longer necessary for this purpose, it is generally deleted. To comply with certain legal regulations or to protect the interests of the Company, we must retain certain data even after the termination of the contractual relationship.... When assessing the retention period for personal data, we are guided by the deadlines set by relevant legal regulations. If the processing period is not explicitly stated in this document or stipulated by a legal regulation, we determine the reasonableness of the personal data processing period, especially with regard to the length of the statute of limitations, with a reserve for us to learn whether a lawsuit has been filed or other proceedings initiated, whether there is a likelihood of legal claims being raised against the Company, and with regard to the expected deadlines for detecting attacks on our network or other security breaches, common practices and recommendations of supervisory authorities, and the probability and significance of impending risks.

  9. Obligation to provide personal data

    You generally provide personal data to the Company voluntarily, but the provision of some data is mandatory for the use of our services. In the event that there is a legal obligation to provide personal data, we will always inform you of this fact.

  10. Automated decision-making and profiling

    We do not use automated decision-making or profiling procedures within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR for decisions that may have legal consequences for you or significantly affect you in other ways.

  11. Use of cookies and website analysis

    Cookies are small data files, short texts, that are placed in the web browser of visitors to the Company's website. The Company uses these cookies on its websites to improve their functioning, evaluate their traffic, and to optimize its marketing activities. Cookies are not used for personal identification of website visitors, nor do they enable it. If a website visitor does not agree to the collection of cookies, they can prevent their collection by changing the settings of their internet browser, using the "Options" or "Help" function.

  12. Use of social plugins

    The Company's websites also contain third-party social plugins, through which website visitors can share content with their friends and other contacts. These include:

    These social plugins, or any others, are not managed by us, and the Company is therefore not responsible for any processing of personal data by the aforementioned operators (controllers) of these plugins or the websites they link to, nor for their functionality or any damage they might cause.

  13. Your rights in connection with the processing of personal data

    In connection with the processing of personal data by the Company, data subjects have the following rights under the GDPR, or within the limits established by law:

    • the right to information about the processing being carried out,
    • the right of access to the processed personal data,
    • the right to rectification or erasure of personal data,
    • the right to restriction of processing of personal data,
    • the right to data portability,
    • the right to object to processing,
    • the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which is the Office for Personal Data Protection.

    Upon receiving a request within the meaning of this article, we will inform the applicant of the measures taken without undue delay and in any case within one month of receiving the request. This period may be extended by up to two more months if necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. The Company is not obliged to comply with a request, for example, in a situation where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly because it is repetitive. In such cases, the Company may charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the requested information or may refuse to comply with the request. In case of reasonable doubts about the identity of the applicant, the Company is entitled to request the provision of additional information necessary to confirm their identity. In addition, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Such a withdrawal does not affect the processing already carried out and therefore does not apply to the effectiveness and lawfulness of the personal data processing performed up to the moment of this withdrawal.
