3. Purposes and legal bases of processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • archiving tax documents in accordance with applicable laws

Legal basis: compliance with legal obligations that apply to the controller (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), in particular accounting and tax legislation, which may require the retention of some documents for up to 10 years.

 

c) Communication via contact form and e‑mail

  • answering your questions, handling enquiries, requests and complaints

Legal basis:

  • performance of a contract or taking steps prior to entering into a contract (if your enquiry relates to an order or a request for an offer), or
  • the controller’s legitimate interest in communicating with customers and prospective customers (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

  • providing access to order history and account settings

Legal basis: performance of a contract (providing the user account service) and the controller’s legitimate interest in making repeat purchases easier for customers (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

If you sign up for our newsletter, we process your e‑mail address for the purpose of sending you:

Legal basis: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), given by ticking the relevant box during registration, checkout or in another sign‑up form.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter e‑mail or by sending a request to our contact e‑mail address. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

  • protection against misuse of services and cyber‑attacks
  • troubleshooting and security monitoring

Legal basis: the controller’s legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional E‑shop (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

 

4. How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the given purpose and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In particular:

  • Data related to orders and contracts
    For the duration of the contractual relationship and then for up to 10 years after the end of the tax period in which the transaction took place, for accounting and tax purposes.
  • User account data
    For as long as your user account exists. If the account is inactive for an extended period, it may be deleted; in that case, data that must be retained under legal obligations (e.g. accounting records) are kept for the required period, and other data are deleted or anonymised.
  • Data for newsletters / commercial communications
    Until you withdraw your consent / unsubscribe from the newsletter, or for a reasonable period after your last interaction (e.g. opening or clicking an e‑mail), or until the purpose of processing ceases, whichever occurs first.
  • Contact form and e‑mail communication
    For the time necessary to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards (for example up to 3 years) for the purposes of documenting that your enquiry was handled and for the protection of the controller’s rights.
  • Technical and necessary cookies
    For the duration of the browser session (until you close your browser) or for a short period necessary for the proper functioning of the E‑shop (e.g. to remember your cart).

After the relevant retention period expires, personal data are either securely deleted or anonymised.

 

5. Recipients and processors of personal data

Personal data may be disclosed only to trusted recipients and processors who help us operate the E‑shop and fulfil our obligations. In particular, these may include:

All such processors process personal data only on the basis of a written contract, according to our instructions, may not use them for their own purposes and must ensure appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

 

6. Transfers of data outside the EU / EEA

Personal data are not transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, unless expressly stated otherwise.

If, in the future, we use services that involve transfers to third countries (for example some cloud or e‑mailing services), such transfers will only take place in compliance with the GDPR, e.g. on the basis of an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.

 

7. How we process and protect personal data

Personal data are processed both manually and by automated means in our IT systems.

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction or damage, including:

  • restricting access to personal data to authorised persons only
  • using secure passwords and encryption where appropriate
  • regularly updating software and systems
  • concluding data processing agreements with our processors, including confidentiality and security obligations

Personal data are not subject to automated decision‑making or profiling that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

 

8. Cookies

Our E‑shop uses primarily necessary technical cookies, which are essential for:

  • proper display and basic functions of the website
  • keeping the contents of your shopping cart
  • maintaining user login sessions

These cookies are stored based on our legitimate interest in operating a functional online store and do not require your consent.

At present, we do not use any analytical or marketing cookies for tracking user behaviour or targeted advertising. If we decide to use such tools in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and, where required, we will ask for your consent via a cookie banner.

 

9. Your rights as a data subject

In connection with the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

  1. Right of access
    You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and, if so, access to those data and information about their processing.
  2. Right to rectification
    If your personal data are inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request their rectification or completion.
  3. Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
    In certain cases, you have the right to have your personal data erased, in particular if they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.
  4. Right to restriction of processing
    In some situations, you may request that we restrict the processing of your data (e.g. for the period during which we verify the accuracy of your data or handle your objection).
  5. Right to data portability
    You have the right to obtain the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine‑readable format and to transmit those data to another controller, if the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means.
  6. Right to object
    You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interests. In such a case, we will no longer process your data for those purposes unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing.
  7. Right to withdraw consent
    If processing is based on your consent (e.g. for newsletters), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  8. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    If you believe that your rights to data protection have been infringed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
    In the Czech Republic, the supervisory authority is:

For security reasons, we may need to verify your identity in order to prevent personal data from being disclosed to unauthorised persons.

We will respond to your request without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt. In justified cases, this period may be extended in accordance with the GDPR, in which case we will inform you of the reasons.
