Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
7.2 SWISSCOLOR, s.r.o., Sedličná 3100, 913 11 Trenčianske Stankovce, as the information system operator (controller), hereby provide you with the following privacy statement: PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION RULES within the meaning of Article 13 and the relevant Recitals of Regulation (EU) 2016/679
of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons
with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data
(hereinafter referred to as the “Regulation”)
and Act of the National Council of the Slovak Republic No. 18/2018 Coll.
on Personal Data Protection and on amendments and supplements to certain Acts
(hereinafter referred to as the “Personal Data Protection Act”)
The purposes of personal data processing mean the reasons for processing the personal data of data subjects (employees, clients) in our information systems on precisely defined legal bases. The purposes are specifically identified, explicitly stated and justified, and, in processing the personal data of the data subjects, we observe the principle of lawfulness under Articles 6 and 9 of the Regulation (the individual purposes and legal bases are referred to in annex to this Personal Data Protection Rules).
The data subject whose personal data are being processed in our information systems for specifically defined purposes may exercise in writing or electronically the following rights:
(a) Right of access to personal data – the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not your personal data are being processed as well as the right to have access to the data to the extent of the purpose and period of processing, the categories of the personal data of the data subject, the categories of recipients, the procedure regarding each automatic processing, or the consequences of such processing. As the controller, we have the right to use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of the data subject requesting access to the data, in particular for online services and identifiers (Article 15 and Recitals 63 and 64 of the Regulation).
(b) Right to rectification of inaccurate and completion of incomplete personal data (Article 16 and Recital 65 of the Regulation).
(c) Right to erasure (right to be “forgotten”) of personal data that are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected and processed in the case of the withdrawal of consent under which the processing is carried out, the unlawful processing, or if personal data were collected in connection with the offer of an information company (for children), subject to compliance with the conditions set out in Article 17 and Recitals 65 and 66 of the Regulation.
(d) Right to restriction of processing – if you, as the data subject, contest the correctness of the personal data and other particulars within the meaning of Article 18 and Recital 67 of the Regulation, the processing of your personal data may be restricted by the temporary movement of the selected personal data to another processing system, making the selected personal data unavailable to users, or temporary removal of processing.
(e) Right to data portability means the right to transmit, on the basis of consent or performance of a contract, the personal data provided by you to our information system, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to another controller, if technically feasible, subject to compliance with the conditions set out in Article 20 and Recital 68 of the Regulation, provided that the processing is carried out by automated means. The exercise of this right shall be without prejudice to Article 17 of the Regulation. The right to data portability shall not apply to processing necessary for performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
(f) Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies, within the meaning of Article 77 of the Regulation, you, as the data subject, have the right to file a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in violation of the Regulation or the Personal Data Protection Act.
You, as the data subject, also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the grounds relating to your particular situation, even if the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests we pursue as the controller or a third party (other than processing by public authorities in the performance of their tasks) except where your interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data (particularly if the data subject is a child), override such interests.
SWISSCOLOR, s.r.o., Sedličná 3100, 913 11 Trenčianske Stankovce, as the information system operator (controller), has taken all reasonable personnel, organizational and technical measures to maximize the protection of your personal data in order to minimize the risk of their misuse, leakage and the like. In accordance with our obligation under Article 34 of the Regulation, we inform you, as the data subjects, that if we, as the controller, violate the protection of your personal data in a manner likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we will communicate the personal data breach to you without undue delay.
NOTICE: In order to comply with the principle of minimization, all personal data provided by you are a necessary legal or contractual requirement to fulfil the purpose of their processing. Failure to provide obligatory data necessary for the conclusion of a contract may result in the non-conclusion of a contractual relationship.
If you have any question relating to the protection of your personal data, including the exercise of your rights under the Regulation and the Personal Data Protection Act, do not hesitate and contact us or our data protection officer (if designated):

7.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data.

7.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

7.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
7.12 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
7.13 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us.
