These third parties include service providers who process your personal data on our behalf, as well as service providers who provide us with services related to the processing of your personal data. The processing of your personal data may also be carried out in such a way that the third parties receiving your data are the sole controllers, or in such a way that they are joint controllers with us.
If we share your personal data with other controllers, we will in principle only do so if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, if we or a third party have a legitimate interest in doing so, or if you have given your consent to do so.
In connection with the processing of your personal data, we use the following categories of service providers:
We will also forward your data to authorities and courts in cases where we are obliged to do so by law, GDPR or the laws of EU member states.
The processing of your personal data by third parties on our behalf is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement on behalf of the controller, within the meaning of the Act and the GDPR.
In the case of the existence of joint controllers, we will conclude an agreement between joint controllers to regulate the processing. We will be happy to share with you the basic elements of this agreement upon your request. For this purpose, please contact us using the contact details in the specified section 1 of this Privacy Policy.
Regardless of where your personal data is processed, our top priority is to always ensure the level of protection guaranteed by the law and the GDPR
In cases where we transfer personal data to recipients outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia, we act in accordance with the requirements of Chapter V of the Law and the GDPR. In cases where we cooperate with third parties or use service providers who may transfer your personal data to countries outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia, we will oblige these third parties or service providers to comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the Law.
Please note that not all countries outside the territory of Serbia provide a level of data protection that the Government of Serbia has determined to be adequate (the so-called "adequacy decision"). A list of countries in which an adequate level of protection of personal data is considered to be ensured can be found at the following link: Adequacy decisions (poverenik.rs).
Where an adequacy decision has not been taken, we endeavour to comply with all relevant conditions and take all necessary measures to provide appropriate safeguards in relation to the processing of your personal data and to ensure an adequate level of protection, including, for example, concluding standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia. If necessary, in addition to concluding standard contractual clauses, we will take additional measures to protect your personal data.
You can always request an overview of recipients in countries outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia and information about the measures we have taken to ensure the level of protection in accordance with the Law and the GDPR through the contact details provided in section 1 of this Privacy Policy.
If you wish to exercise your rights listed below, you can contact us informally at any time through the means of communication specified in this Privacy Policy. You can contact us, as well as our Data Protection Officer, by email and other means of communication using the contact details provided in Section 1 of this Privacy Policy.
You have the right to obtain information about whether personal data relating to you is being processed. If we process personal data relating to you, you have the right of access to personal data and certain information prescribed by law. For more information on your right of access, see Article 26 of the Law.
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data relating to you rectified without undue delay. Depending on the purpose of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed. For more information on your right to rectification, see Article 29 of the Law.
We always strive to ensure the accuracy of your personal data. In this regard, please inform us of any changes to your data (such as changes of address) without undue delay, in order to ensure that your personal data is up to date.
If legal requirements are met, you have the right to have your personal data erased without undue delay. This is especially the case when:
Please note that your right to erasure is subject to restrictions. For example, we are not authorized to delete personal data in respect of which we are legally obliged to keep it further. You also cannot exercise the right to erasure with regard to the data that we need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. For more information on your right to erasure, see Article 30 of the Act.
If the legal requirements are met, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. This is especially the case when:
For more information about your right to restriction of processing, see Article 31 of the Law.
You have the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to us and that we process for the performance of a contract, on the basis of your consent or by automated means, in a structured, commonly used and electronically readable format. You also have the right, if the above conditions are met, to request that we transmit this data directly to a third party, where technically feasible. For more information about your right to data portability, see Article 20 of the Law.
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you can revoke your consent to further processing at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the permissibility of the processing that was carried out on the basis of consent before the revocation.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority, in particular the competent data protection authority of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation of the law. In Serbia, it is the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection (https://www.poverenik.rs/en/).
The right to object to the processing of your personal data in cases where the basis for the processing is a legitimate interest
In cases where we process data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you can object to the processing at any time, for reasons relating to the particular situation in which you find yourself. We will then no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. We assume that, when processing is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest, we will generally be able to present such compelling legitimate reasons, but we will consider and assess each objection on a case-by-case basis.
For more information on your right to object, see Article 37 of the Law.
In this Privacy Policy, we always provide you with up-to-date, complete and, in principle, final information on the processing of your personal data in connection with our website. This requires regular updates to this Privacy Policy. Therefore, we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy on a regular basis.
