We will provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit this personal data directly to another controller, if technically feasible.

8.1.6. Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data which is performed in public interest, legitimate interest, including an objection to profiling based on a legitimate interest. The Company shall not further process your personal data unless the Company demonstrates necessary legitimate reasons for such processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the Company demonstrates reasons for establishment, exercise or defence of its legal claims.

If the Company processes your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of this personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Should you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, the Company will no longer process this personal data for such purposes.

8.1.7. How to exercise your rights: You can exercise your rights through our Company's contact details, which are listed at the beginning of this notice. We prefer to communicate electronically (e-mail), but you can also submit your requests in writing or orally. Our Company will provide you with information on the measures taken on the basis of your request without undue delay, at the latest within one (1) month from the delivery of your request. In case we have legitimate doubts about your identity, we may ask you to provide additional data necessary to confirm your identity (for example, we may ask you to provide a copy of your identity card). The relevant deadline for processing your request begins only after your identity has been verified. Considering the complexity of the request or the large number of requests, we can extend the deadline by another two (2) months, which we will inform you about.

If, on the basis of your request, our Company does not take measures without unnecessary delay, within one (1) month at the latest, our Company will inform you of the reasons for not taking action and the possibility of filing a complaint with The Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic or applying for a remedy in court within one (1) month from the delivery of your request.

If your requests are manifestly unfounded or unreasonable, in particular, due to their recurring nature, our Company is entitled to refuse to act on your request or to charge you a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of our Company, which we determine. In particular, we will consider any identical or similar request submitted within six (6) months from the submission of the previous request as an unjustified repeated request.

8.1.8. The right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Office: In the event of a suspicion of unauthorized processing of your personal data, in addition to exercising the above rights, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, in particular in your Member State of your habitual residence, the place of performance of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The supervisory body in the Slovak Republic is the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic. The registered office of the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic is at Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava, Slovak Republic and the contact details of the said office are as follows: email: statny.dozor@pdp.gov.sk; web: https://dataprotection.gov.sk/

In the case of filing of a complaint/proposal in electronic form, it is necessary that it meets the requirements under the provisions of Section 19 par. 1 of Act no. 71/1967 Coll. on Administrative Proceedings (Administrative Procedure Code) as amended.
