A more detailed description of the Clients' rights relating to personal data protection

1. Right of access to personal data

If a Client asks AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia for confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will inform the Client about:

• a) the purpose of processing their personal data,
• b) the categories of personal data processed,
• c) the identification of the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or may be provided,
• d) the period for which the personal data are kept,
• e) the right to request rectification of personal data, its erasure, restriction of its processing, or the right to object to the processing of personal data,
• f) the right to lodge a motion to initiate proceedings before the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic on the basis of a claim that the Client's rights have been infringed,
• g) the source of the personal data, if the personal data were not obtained directly from the data subject,
• h) the existence — or, in the case of AUTOFIS, the non-existence — of automated individual decision-making or profiling,
• i) the appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data, if it is transferred to a third country.

At the same time, AUTOFIS will provide the Client with a copy of the personal data it processes about them, in the manner in which the Client requests it.

2. Right to rectification of personal data

If a Client asks AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia to rectify their personal data, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will carry out the rectification without undue delay and will erase or remove the original data that it has rectified, where this is possible. In the case of paper documents the original data remain preserved, but the rectification is reflected in the data records or in another document (e.g. a record of the rectification of personal data).

3. Right to erasure of personal data (the right “to be forgotten”)

If a Client contacts AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia with a request for erasure of their personal data, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will comply with the request provided that:

• a) the personal data are no longer needed for the purpose for which they were processed, or
• b) the Client has withdrawn consent to the processing of a special category of personal data (in connection with arranging visas) and there is no other legal basis for processing that data, or
• c) the Client has exercised their right to object to the processing of personal data, or
• d) it turns out that AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia is processing personal data unlawfully, or
• e) the Client's right to erasure of their personal data follows from legal regulations, or
• f) the personal data were obtained in connection with the offering of the services of AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia through information technology (internet, e-mail, telephone).

AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia is not obliged to comply with a Client's request for erasure of data if further processing is necessary:

• a) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression or the right to information,
• b) to fulfil obligations of AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia arising from law or in the public interest (e.g. the law imposes an obligation to report data on persons who travelled to a particular country, or an investigator requests information about a particular client),
• c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health (e.g. the Public Health Authority requests information about particular persons who were in a certain period in a country with an occurrence of a communicable disease),
• d) for archiving, scientific, historical and statistical purposes (e.g. the data form part of documents that must be archived and lose their evidential value without the erased data),
• f) for the exercise of a legal claim (e.g. AUTOFIS has a receivable towards the Client and erasing their data would make it impossible to enforce it).

4. Right to restriction of processing of personal data

If a Client contacts AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia with a request to restrict the processing of their personal data, AUTOFIS will comply with the request if:

• a) the Client contests the accuracy of the personal data — AUTOFIS will restrict the processing of the data until it verifies the accuracy of the data processed,
• b) the processing of the data is unlawful, but the Client does not request erasure of the personal data, but restriction of its processing,
• c) AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia no longer needs the personal data to achieve the purpose of processing, but the Client needs it for the exercise of a legal claim, or
• d) the Client objects to the processing of personal data — in that case AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will restrict the processing of the personal data until it is verified whether the legitimate grounds on the side of AUTOFIS override the legitimate grounds of the Client.

5. Right to data portability

If a Client contacts AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia with a request for their personal data to be provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will comply with the request if the data are processed by automated means (e.g. on a computer), and if the applicant expressly requests it, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia may transmit the data in this way directly to another controller.

6. Right to object to the processing of personal data

Since AUTOFIS and ET Slovakia also process personal data on the legal basis of pursuing the legitimate interests of AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia (sending a newsletter to Clients), which can be regarded as a direct marketing purpose, AUTOFIS and ET Slovakia are obliged, if a Client objects to the processing of their personal data for this purpose (direct marketing), not to process it further. In other words, AUTOFIS or ET Slovakia will no longer send the newsletter to such a Client and will remove them from the newsletter mailing list.
