The acronym used in the text below is “GDPR”.

What personal data do we process?

Let’s first define personal data. Personal data is any information concerning a natural person by means of which they may be directly or indirectly identified. Personal data includes their first name, last name, type and address of residence, date of birth, birth number, email address, phone number, signature and location-related data or their online identifier, photograph, voice recording, etc. Any data that is specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identify of a natural person is considered personal data.

Every PYRONOVA group company processes the personal data necessary to perform its business activities and other related activities to fulfill statutory and contractual obligations and following its legitimate interests.

The following categories of personal data are processed:

Basic identification data: title, first name, last name, date of birth, birth number, address of permanent or temporary residence, photograph, audio-visual recording, citizenship, nationality, signature, identification of their employer/company, job title or position, place of work, place of business and identification number in the case of a trade license holder.

Contact data: phone number, email address, fax, and mailing address.

Transaction data: bank name, account number at the bank.

Socio-demographic data: indirectly age and gender.
CCTV system: CCTV recordings showing a data subject that permits their identification, the behavior and actions of the data subject, including, indirectly in certain cases, specific categories of personal data even if not required or the company’s intention (e.g. health condition, race and ethnic origins, religious or philosophical convictions).

Your additional personal data may also be processed, for instance if you are a candidate for employment in any PYRONOVA group company, additional personal data may also be processed in the scope of your provided CV and cover letter, or, if you are a former employee in any PYRONOVA group company, such additional personal data as required local legislation, currently or in the past, is processed.

Every PYRONOVA group company follows the principle of minimizing data when processing personal data, which specifically means using an adequate scope of data with respect to the purpose of processing.

You may request a transcript of your personal data that a PYRONOVA group company processes at any time using the contact details provided above.

Where do we get your personal data?

PYRONOVA group companies obtain personal data:

directly from you at conclusion and during performance of an agreement or contract, or upon obtaining your consent to process your personal data;
from other entities if you grant your consent (e.g. from a family member);
from proceedings involving public authorities and bodies;
from publicly accessible registers, lists and records.

Why do we process your personal data?

This part of the document provides details as to the purposes for which PYRONOVA group companies process your personal data. The section is divided by the entities whose data is handled for easier orientation and better understanding of the issue at hand. Please note that you may fall under several categories at the same time (e.g. a client who sends us a letter is considered a client and a sender). PYRONOVA group companies maintain the same procedures for processing your personal data and are subject to internal policies applied by the entire PYRONOVA group. As such, the following purposes of processing your personal data sorted by category are the same for all PYRONOVA group companies.

An exception is granted for the processing of personal data by the CCTV system operated at the PYRONOVA s. r. o. facility in Trnava, Slovakia, as laid down in the conclusion of this section, which represents a special type of personal data processing by this individual company.

The information below also includes details on the storage periods for personal data. Such periods represent maximal periods during which we may process your personal data for the defined purposes. In reality, however, we proceed to the liquidation or pseudonymization of personal data before the expiry of these periods if we consider the personal data to be unnecessary in terms of the intended purposes of processing.

Given the seriousness with which the company treats the protection of your personal data, we’d like to assure you that your personal data will not be disclosed to any entities if unnecessary or without reason.

Please note, that the processing of your personal data may be based on several of the legal bases specified below. The termination of any one such legal basis (e.g. your consent to personal data processing) may not result in us terminating the processing of your personal data if processed based on another legal basis that endures.

The provisioning of your personal data is voluntary.

How can you revoke consent if processing of your personal data is based on such consent?

If the processing of your personal data is based on consent provided to a PYRONOVA group company, you may revoke this consent at any time by delivering notification to the company using its contact details provided above. The contents of such notification shall include revocation of consent provided previously.

Revocation of consent to process personal data has no prejudice towards the lawfulness of personal data processed before such revocation.

Revocation of consent to process your personal data does not result in the termination of the processing of your personal data by a PYRONOVA group company on another legal basis than the one referred to in the notification.

What other rights do you have with respect to personal data?

First of all, you have the right to clear, transparent and understandable information about how we use your personal data and what rights you have.

You have the following rights:

Right to access personal data – you have the right to receive a copy of the personal data that a PYRONOVA group company concerning you and information as to how it uses your personal data. In most cases, we will provide you with a transcript of your personal data in written form, unless you request such data be provided in another form. If you request this information using electronic means, they will be provided to you electronically if technologically feasible.

Right to rectification of personal data – we will take the necessary measures to ensure the accuracy, completeness and currentness of your personal data possessed by a PYRONOVA group company. If you believe that your personal data is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date, please do not hesitate to contact a PYRONOVA group company to request rectification of this data.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten) – you have the right to request that a PYRONOVA group company erase your personal data, for instance, personal data that it obtained from your previously but is no longer necessary to fulfill the original purpose of processing. Your right must be compared to all relevant circumstances. For instance, the company may have specific legal and regulatory obligations or eligible interests, which means they are unable to comply with such request.

Right to restrict personal data processing – under certain circumstances, you are eligible to request that a PYRONOVA group company stop using your personal data. Such circumstances may include if you think the personal data they have about you is potentially inaccurate or if you believe they no longer need to use your personal data.

Right to data portability – under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that a PYRONOVA group company transfer the personal data you provided to a third party of your choosing. The right to such transfer only involves the personal data obtained from you based on your consent or an agreement in which you are one of the parties thereto.

Right to object – you have a right to object to the processing of your personal data based on the legitimate interests of a PYRONOVA group company. If you are convinced that the company does not have a convincing and legitimate reason for such processing and you object to such processing, your personal data will no longer be processed.

Right to petition to begin personal data protection proceedings – if you believe that a PYRONOVA group company is unjustly or unlawfully processing your personal data, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent personal data protection authority in the member state of the European Economic Area (EEA) in which you live or work, or in which a breach of legislation concerning personal data protection is alleged to have occurred.

Right to reject automated individual decision-making and profiling – you have the right to be exempt from decision-making that exclusively employs automated means of processing, including profiling, and with legal effects that involve you or otherwise significantly influence you.

These rights are specified in more detail in Articles 15 to 22 GDPR. Please contact us at any time to learn more about your rights. The GDPR lays down general conditions for the exercise of your individual rights. The existence of such rights does not automatically mean that the PYRONOVA group company will automatically comply once applied, as certain exceptions may be used in specific instances and certain rights are connected to specific conditions that may not be met in all cases. The PYRONOVA group company will examine every such request made with regards to a specific right and examine the legal aspects and applicability of any exceptions thereto.

You may exercise any one of your rights at any time with respect to a PYRONOVA group company using the contact details provided above. Internal PYRONOVA group guidelines lay down the procedure for handling such notifications.
