PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA FOR SENDING NEWSLETTER AND ADVERTISING MESSAGES

If a visitor of our website or a member of one of our loyalty programs is interested in receiving the newsletter and other advertising messages, we process the personal data provided by you for these purposes based on your consent, always at least to the extent of the e-mail address. If you also provide us with your identification data (first name, surname, date of birth), we will process these data for the stated purposes as well. The advertising messages we send you always concern only our own services.
 
If we obtain your consent to the processing in paper form, we will only start processing your personal data after you have filled in and signed the registration form for our loyalty club. We will store the consent in paper form and at the same time we will enter the data from it into our electronic database. If we obtain your consent to processing in electronic form, we will only start processing your personal data after you have filled in your data in the relevant form for sending newsletters and other advertising messages and then confirm your wish to receive the newsletter according to the instructions in the e-mail you receive from us. If you do not confirm your wish to receive the newsletter, we will destroy your data without undue delay.
 
Your personal data will be processed until the consent has been withdrawn. After this period, we will only process them if required by special legislation or if necessary to protect our legal claims.
 
You give us consent to this processing of personal data voluntarily and you can withdraw it at any time, either by sending a notice of withdrawal of consent in writing to the address of our registered office, or by clicking on the relevant link in the sent newsletter or advertising message. 
 
If you become our customer, for example you buy something from us in our e-shop, we may use your contact details for the purpose of sending the newsletter, although special consent would be required by law, and that on the basis the so-called legitimate interest. In this case as well, you can of course inform us at any time that you do not wish to receive further advertising messages, and in such case we will no longer send you these messages.
 
However, not every message you receive from us is a commercial message. Sometimes we need to communicate with you in connection with provision of a certain type of services and with a large number of recipients, this cannot be done other than by sending a bulk e-mail. Within the framework of this communication, therefore, some messages sent are not commercial communications (e.g. notification of a change in trade terms and conditions or a request to update your personal data).

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA IN CONNECTION WITH PURCHASE OF GOODS IN THE E-SHOP

In the case of purchasing goods in eshop.albi.cz, we will process your personal data to the extent of first name, surname, date of birth, residential address, delivery address, e-mail address, telephone contact, information about the purchased goods and their price. If you are a legal entity or a natural person doing business, we will also process information about your company name, ID number, VAT number, registered office or business address, billing address, identification data of your representative or other contact person, and bank account number and bank code. 
 
The processing of these personal data is a necessary precondition for the performance of the contract and it is, therefore, a processing that does not require your consent.
 
We will process your data for the purpose of implementation of a concluded purchase contract, delivery of the ordered goods, and also for the purpose of protecting the rights and legally protected interests of protection against possible litigations arising from concluded purchase contracts. We will process these data in our customer database for a period of 4 years after the expiration of the warranty period for the goods. After this period, we will only process them if required by special legislation or if necessary for other legal reasons.

The provision of this personal data is necessary for the settlement of our mutual obligations in the event of withdrawal from the contract, and therefore, it is a processing that does not require your consent.
 
We want to constantly improve our goods and services, therefore, we will continue to process your e-mail address, also to verify your satisfaction with the purchase. This processing is necessary for the purpose of protecting our legitimate interests in providing feedback on the progress of your purchase, and therefore, consent is not required by law. We survey your satisfaction with the purchase via e-mail questionnaires within the Verified by Customers program, in which our e-shop is involved. We send them to you each time you have purchased from us, unless, within the meaning of Section 7(3) of Act No. 480/2004 Coll., on Certain Information Society Services, you refuse receiving our commercial communications or withdraw your previously given consent.
