2. RECORD OF PROCESSING ACTIVITIES
Article 3
In accordance with Article 30 of the GDPR, the company maintains a Record of Processing Activities, which is kept for all personal data records for which the company is the data controller or processor. Its purpose is to provide a complete overview of the flow of personal data.
The Record of Processing Activities contains the following information: the name of each personal data record; the name or the name and contact details of the controller and, where applicable, the joint controller, the controller’s representative, and the data protection officer; the purposes of the processing; the legal basis; a description of the categories of data subjects to whom the personal data relate, and the types of personal data; the categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, including recipients in third countries or international organizations; information on transfers of personal data to a third country or international organization, including identification of that third country or international organization; the envisaged retention periods; a general description of the technical and organizational security measures.
The Record of Processing Activities is regularly updated according to changes in the data concerning each personal data record contained in the Record. The responsible person for each personal data record has the duty to update the Record of Processing Activities with every change concerning the data of the respective personal data record. All employees who process personal data from any personal data record must be familiar with the respective record in the Record of Processing Activities, and access must be granted to supervisory authorities upon request.
Due to the absence of grounds under Articles 35 and 37 GDPR, the company does not prepare Data Protection Impact Assessments for other records. The company has appointed a Data Protection Officer, who is ______________.
(Definitions of Individual Personal Data Records)
Personal data in the company are structured and processed electronically in the following records:
Personnel records (kadrovska evidenca)
Records of labor costs
Records of working time utilization
Records on forms of resolving collective labor disputes at the employer
Records in the field of occupational health and safety
Records of business partners
Records of video surveillance data (records of entry and exit from premises)
Personal data in the ____ records are also processed in physical form in personal files.
Article 5
The company, potentially with the help of contractual data processors, collects and processes only those personal data for which there is a valid legal basis under GDPR or other applicable personal data protection legislation. Collection and processing can only take place for specific and lawful purposes and must not be incompatible with those purposes unless otherwise allowed by law.
If personal data are processed for a new purpose incompatible with the original, this must be verified for compatibility and documented in writing.
If no valid legal basis exists, personal data processing must stop immediately, access disabled, and the company director or direct superior informed to decide on further actions.
Accidentally collected personal data that are obviously unnecessary for the processing must be deleted without delay, irreversibly destroyed, or returned to the individual, controller, or processor who sent them.
Individuals must be informed about the collection and processing of their personal data per Articles 12, 13, and 14 of GDPR. The person responsible for notifications is ___________. ___________ must (for each personal data record) define and keep a written list of persons authorized to process or access those records (“authorized persons for data processing”). This list must be provided to the company director. Authorized persons must be familiar with ZVOP-2, GDPR, and this Policy and must sign a special data protection declaration.
Article 6
According to Article 15 GDPR, the individual has the right to obtain confirmation from the company about whether their personal data are being processed, access their data, and receive the information specified in Article 15(1) GDPR. They can request a copy of the data; the company may charge reasonable fees for additional copies after informing the individual in advance.
Individuals may withdraw their consent for data processing at any time, which does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Individuals have all rights granted by GDPR and ZVOP-2 where legally applicable, including correction, deletion (right to be forgotten), restriction of processing, etc.
If data are processed for direct marketing, individuals may object at any time to such processing, including profiling related to direct marketing, and if they object, the data must no longer be processed for these purposes.
The data controller concludes that data processing does not pose a high risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms; therefore, a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is not required.
Before any new processing, especially involving new technologies or changes to the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing or when risk changes, the data controller commits to reassessing risks and determining whether a DPIA is necessary.
4. PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION
Article 7
The protection of personal data includes all measures, both organizational and technical, aimed at preventing intentional or accidental unauthorized acquisition, access, alteration, loss, or destruction of data, information, and documents classified as personal data of natural persons.
The company ensures the protection of personal data through legal, organizational, and technical procedures and measures by:
securing premises and equipment where personal data is collected and processed,
securing system and application software used for processing personal data,
ensuring the safe transmission and transfer of personal data, including via telecommunications means and networks,
ensuring effective methods for blocking, destroying, and deleting personal data.
Every employee who processes personal data from any of the company’s individual personal data records is authorized to process personal data for that specific record and thus becomes an authorized person for personal data processing. Authorized persons must process personal data in accordance with the provisions of ZVOP-2 and GDPR. Upon termination of employment or the termination of the legal basis granting access to personal data, revocation of authorization for data processing, or any other reason for the termination of the legal relationship, the obligation to protect personal data to which the authorized person had access or which were disclosed to them during processing does not cease.
