The purpose of the processing of personal data and legal grounds for processing.

(a) Site visits

What: Upon each visit of the Information Commissioner's site the web server automatically stores web server log files (e.g. IP number – the number used to identify a specific computer or other device online). The worldwide web operates by recording specific information about site visits (e.g. IP number, browser version, time of visit, etc.) on the web server hosting the site. The Information Commissioner does not process the collected information separately, nor does it connect this information to any other data. You can find more information about the measures with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Information Commissioner's information environment here.

Why: The aim of these procedures is to ensure network and information security, i.e. to enable the detection and prevention of unauthorised access that could impair the accessibility, integrity and confidentiality of the stored or transferred personal data, as well as the security of associated services, which are available on these networks and systems.

Legal grounds: The processing of this information is required for the provision of the Information Commissioner’s public service.

Duration: The data is stored for a period of 30 days after the site visit.

(b) Subscribing to the e-newsletter

What: When you subscribe to the online newsletter, besides your IP number the Information Commissioner also processes your email address that you enter into the online form, as well as the date and time of your subscription.

Why: The Information Commissioner shall process this information solely to send you news on the selected topic(s). 

Duration: The information about your email is stored until you unsubscribe from the e-newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the e-newsletter anytime by clicking the relevant link in the received email, or by unsubscribing from the e-newsletter here.

Legal grounds: Personal data (email address) is processed pursuant to a valid data subject’s consent (Article 6(a) of GDPR). When completing the e-newsletter subscription form, please check the relevant checkbox to state your agreement with the Information Commissioner’s use of your email to send you news on the selected topic(s), and the relevant checkbox to confirm that you have been informed you can withdraw your consent anytime by clicking the relevant link in the received email, or by unsubscribing from the e-newsletter here.

If you fail to provide your consent, the Information Commissioner will not send any notifications to, nor collect or process your email address. The Information Commissioner’s e-newsletter subscription system is based on prior email approval (i.e. opt-in), meaning that emails are sent only to persons who have given their explicit consent to receive emails.

(c) Reporting violations, comments and questions 

What: On the Information Commissioner’s site users can also use an online form to report a violation of legislation in the field of personal data protection, to provide comments, or to ask questions. In this case you need to complete the “Your message” field and – in order to prevent automated submission of spam mail – the “Copy two words” field. All other information is not mandatory; however, you can also add your name, surname and email address.

Why: The Information Commissioner needs your email address to answer your questions, respond to your comment, or notify you on the findings in connection with your report. The sender can also add their name and surname, although this information is not mandatory.

Legal grounds: The information you enter into the online form will be processed by the Information Commissioner only if this is urgently required for the fulfilment of their legal powers, tasks and obligations (Article 6(e) of GDPR), e.g. processing of violation reports, questions, and comments, their resolution and storage (archiving).

Duration: Length of the retention period depends on the type of procedure and the legal basis regulating operations and storage of documents and archives.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device by the sites you visit. Cookies have different roles. Sometimes they help the site remember your settings (e.g. language, font size, as well as other settings which you set on your computer for our site), so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit the site.

Some cookies are required for the site’s operation (e.g. log-in cookie on shopping basket cookie), some aim to improve the user experience (e.g. storing user preferences), while others are used to monitor the site visits, thus helping the site administrator to continuously improve both the site and user experience. Some cookies allow tracking of users over several sites.
