In the following personal data processing statement, 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 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, Company ID No.: 06382673, Tax ID No.: CZ006382673 (hereinafter referred to as the "Company"). The Company may act as a controller or processor of personal data in the processing of personal data.

2. Type and Origin of Data Processed by the Company

   We primarily process the personal data of PRESS.NEWS users for the purpose of preparing for 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. Processing means obtaining, storing, deleting and, in some cases, transferring personal data. The personal data we process is obtained directly from PRESS.NEWS users during registration, by monitoring their activity on our website or, where applicable, on the basis of our legitimate interests. We may also partially process personal data that we have obtained in accordance with currently applicable data protection laws by other means from publicly accessible sources (e.g. the Commercial Register or other registers).

3. Purposes of Processing by the Company as a Personal Data Controller and Legal Bases for Processing

   When acting as a personal data controller, we always solely process personal data for permitted purposes and in accordance with currently applicable legislation. We process the personal data of PRESS.NEWS users either without your consent on the basis of the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and on the basis of our legitimate interest, or with your consent. We process personal data for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations towards PRESS.NEWS users, most frequently in connection with the creation of a user account, the provision of services of other linked applications and the sending of informational messages. When using our website, we use cookies to monitor the traffic and improve our services. In the course of providing our services and operating PRESS.NEWS, we may also process personal data for journalistic purposes, specifically as a basis for preparing reports or articles. The Company processes the following personal data:

   • identification and contact data, in particular first name and surname, username and password, e-mail address and, optionally, telephone number;
   • your settings, meaning data in your account, in particular newsletter settings;
   • data about your behaviour on the website, in particular the services you view, videos you play, links you click, the way you navigate our website and scroll the screen, as well as data about the device from which you browse our website, such as the IP address and location derived therefrom, identification of the device, its technical parameters such as the operating system and its version, and data obtained from cookies and similar technologies for device identification;
   • derived data, meaning personal data derived from your settings, data about your behaviour on the website and data about your behaviour when reading the e-mails we send you; in particular, this includes data about your gender, age, location from which you access our website and your relationship to various services;
   • data related to your communication with us, in particular the identification of messages you send to us, including identifiers such as IP addresses.

   3.1. Information about Change of Purpose
   If we were ever to process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected, we will inform you of this new purpose in accordance with applicable legislation.

4. Purposes of Processing by the Company as a Personal Data Processor

   In cases where the Company acts as a personal data processor in the processing of your personal data, the purpose and means of such processing are always determined by the respective personal data controller. Even in such cases, however, our Company complies with all legislation relating to the processing of your personal data and provides a high level of security. The Company never conceals the purpose for which personal data is collected and further processed.

5. Recipients of Your Data

   In some cases, personal data may be made accessible 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 and, 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 consent to do so.

6. Transfer to Third Countries or International Organisations

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

7. Time Limits for Storage and Retention of Personal Data

   We solely process personal data for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations for the period necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual obligations. Once the data is no longer necessary for this purpose, it is deleted as a matter of principle. To comply with certain legal regulations or to protect the Company's interests, we must retain certain data even after the termination of the contractual relationship. When assessing the retention period for personal data, we rely on the time limits set by the relevant legislation. If the processing period is not expressly stated in this document or determined by legislation, we determine the appropriateness of the processing period for personal data with particular regard to the length of the limitation period, with a reserve to allow us to learn whether a lawsuit has been filed or other proceedings have been initiated, whether there is a likelihood of legal claims being raised against the Company, and with regard to the expected time limits for the detection of attacks on our network or other security breaches, customary practices and recommendations of supervisory authorities, and the likelihood and significance of potential risks.

8. Obligation to Provide Personal Data

   You provide personal data to the Company on a fundamentally voluntary basis; however, the provision of certain data is mandatory for the use of our services. If there is a legal obligation to provide personal data, we will always inform you of this fact.

9. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

   In making decisions that may have legal consequences for you or otherwise significantly affect you, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling procedures within the meaning of Article 22 of the GDPR.

10. 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 website to improve its functionality, evaluate its traffic and optimise its marketing activities. Cookies do not serve to personally identify website visitors, nor do they enable such identification. If a website visitor does not agree with the collection of cookies, they can prevent their collection by changing the settings of their internet browser using the "Options" or "Help" function.

11. Use of Social Plugins

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

    • the Facebook network plugin, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
    • the Instagram service plugin, operated by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA;
    • the Twitter service plugin, operated by Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

    These social plugins or any additional plugins are not operated by us, and the Company is therefore not responsible for any processing of personal data by the above-mentioned operators (controllers) of these plugins or the websites they link to, nor for their functionality or any damage they may cause.

12. Your Rights in Connection with Personal Data Processing

    In connection with the processing of personal data by the Company, data subjects have the following rights under the GDPR, or within the limits set by law: (i) the right to information about the processing being carried out, (ii) the right of access to the processed personal data, (iii) the right to rectification or erasure of personal data, (iv) the right to restriction of processing of personal data, (v) the right to portability of personal data, (vi) the right to object to processing, and (vii) the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which is the Office for Personal Data Protection. Upon receipt of 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 receipt of the request. This period may be extended by a further two months if necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. The Company is not obliged to comply with a request, for example, where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly because it is repetitive. In such cases, the Company may charge a reasonable fee reflecting the administrative costs associated with providing the requested information, or may refuse to comply with the request. In the event of reasonable doubt about the identity of the applicant, the Company is entitled to ask them to provide 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 withdrawal does not affect processing that has already been carried out, and therefore does not apply to the validity and legality of the processing of personal data carried out up to the moment of such withdrawal.
