receive, process and store the personal data provided and what are the data subjects' rights under current legislation.

What personal data do we use and to whom do we access it?

ALEF Group companies (Controller) process the data only for purposes related to a business relationship (including orders via B2B form) or marketing relationship. The data includes name, surname, title, job position, employer's name and address, telephone number, e-mail. In case the subject of personal data (natural person) is directly involved in the business or marketing relationship, the data includes: name, surname, title, address of permanent or temporary residence or seat, telephone number, e-mail, VAT ID, bank account. In case of training offers, we only process your name, surname and e-mail address.

In the case of personal collection of goods within the B2B relationship (portal), we also process a personal data - the identity card of the data subject.

Recipient of such personal data is the Controller and any entity linked in any way to the Controller in terms of assets, whether directly or indirectly, and entities that are members of the ALEF Group, even in the case such entity is in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union), if the European Commission has decided that such third country ensures the appropriate level of personal data protection (for a list of countries see, for example, https://www.coe.int/en/web/conventions/full-list/-/conventions/treaty/108/signatures a https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/CS/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016D1250) and employees of the aforementioned entities. Business partners of the Controller, entities linked to the Controller in terms of assets, Processors of personal data or public power authorities can also be recipients of personal data.

What is the purpose of personal data processing?

Provided personal data is used only for purposes related to delivery of our services and providing information related to offers of our services, products, marketing events, training courses, seminars and conferences by using various communication channels such as electronic means (e-mail, websites, social networks, webinars and more, which allows targeted addressing), by mail, telephone call or personal contact.

What is the legal basis for personal data processing?

We process the data based on the Controller's legitimate interest, because without it we could not properly fulfill the purposes for which the personal data is processed. However, in case of personal data provided for the purpose of establishing new business contacts (new lead generation), marketing communication addressed to primary contact persons or sending training offers, we need your consent.

How long is the personal data stored?

Personal data is stored for the duration of the business relationship and then for a period of 4 years after its end. If a business relationship is not established, the personal data will be deleted after 1 year from the date of providing.

As a personal data subject, what are your rights?
