- These rules regulate the principles of processing the personal data of (i) persons who request or order translation and interpretation services, language lessons or other products, or the representatives of these persons (hereinafter “customers”), (ii) persons who personally attend language lessons, if they are not the actual customer (hereinafter “students”), and (iii) users of the website at aliastranslation.sk (hereinafter “users” and the “website”).
- When processing personal data, the Provider acts as the controller and thus determines the purpose for which, and means by which personal data will be processed.
SCOPE OF PROCESSED DATA
- These rules apply exclusively to handling the personal data of natural persons
- Data concerning the customer. Data concerning the customer. The Provider processes personal data which the customer provides in their order. Personal data may pertain directly to the customer or to third parties. Furthermore, the Provider processes personal data which the customer provides during the term of the contract concluded with the Provider. This data refers, in particular, to the customer’s name, surname, telephone number and e mail address, or other contact details, information about the customer’s language skills and occupation. The Provider may add other data concerning the course of language lessons and the customer’s achieved level to this data.
- Data concerning children. Only a person 15 years of age or older can order goods and conclude a contract with the Provider. In case of a contract concluded on behalf of a younger person, consent pursuant to these Rules must be approved by the legal guardian.
- Given the amount of personal data obtained from the customer, the Provider cannot control its origin. If the customer provides personal data about third parties, including language lesson students and its own employees, or if this data is contained in documents received in relation to translations or interpreting, the customer is only authorised to provide this data upon fulfilment of the conditions stipulated by applicable legal regulations, including obtaining consent to process personal data, if applicable. The customer is also obliged to ensure the currency of such data and to inform the Provider immediately of any changes concerning personal data, which are relevant to its processing.
PURPOSE OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
- Handling the order – fulfilment of the contract concluded between the Provider and customer. In this case, the Provider mainly uses personal data to the extent of the customer’s name and surname, address, e-mail address, telephone number and invoicing data. Personal data is thus used to ensure translations and interpreting or the organisation of lessons. Furthermore, personal data is processed for the purpose of invoicing or handling complaints by the customer or student in the case of language lessons. Personal data about students is processed based on our legitimate interest in organising lessons. Processing the given personal data for the said purpose is therefore necessary.
- Access and management of online accounts. If any service is performed online, the Provider processes personal data within the framework of fulfilling contractual conditions for the purpose of access to the online information system and its operation, in the scope of the username and password. Processing personal data for the said purpose is therefore necessary.
- Offer of the Provider’s services and products by e-mail. The Provider processes the customer’s name, surname and e-mail address in order to send commercial messages. These messages are sent exclusively to a customer who has been provided with a service or product, i.e. a customer who was or still is in a business relationship with the Provider. Processing personal data in this case is not conducted based on consent, but on the grounds of the Provider’s legitimate interest. Subscription to commercial messages may be cancelled at any time, or the customer may object to such processing of personal data.
- Offer of the Provider’s services and products by telephone. The Provider may promote its services and other products by telephone on the basis of consent only. Consent may be revoked at any time via the contacts provided in these Rules.
