You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.

2.6 Processing of personal data as a part of the Verified by Customers program

If you make a purchase from a partner e-shop that is involved in the Verified by Customers program, the e-shop will hand over to us, as a processor, your e-mail address, based on its own decision the e-shop can also hand over to us information about the goods purchased, to create a questionnaire about your satisfaction with the purchase in the partner e-shop. If you complete a subsequently delivered satisfaction questionnaire, as a processor we gather for our partner e-shop your rating of the purchase and hand it over to the e-shop. We encrypt your e-mail address immediately after sending the satisfaction questionnaire and, if you do not complete the satisfaction questionnaire, we store your personal data in pseudo-anonymized form for six months from the sending of the questionnaire; if you complete the satisfaction questionnaire, we store your pseudo-anonymised personal data for four years from the completion of the questionnaire.

If, during the completion of the questionnaire, you grant us, by completing the identification data, your consent to the publication of your rating of the purchase including the identification characteristics on the Heureka website, we use your identification and contact data, data about your settings and your rating for publication on our website. Your consent is quite voluntary and you are not obligated to provide it. You can rescind consent granted using the procedure for exercising your rights described in the part How to claim individual rights?. The rescinding of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before its rescinding. If you do not grant us your consent, we will publish your rating on our website in anonymous form without stating your personal data.

In order to uncover false ratings, we use your rating and e-mail address in pseudo-anonymized form also to verify the authenticity and trustworthiness of such ratings, based on our legitimate interest, which consists of the provision of trustworthy information to the public about e-shops and goods. For this purpose we will store pseudo-anonymized data for four years from the provision of a rating.

If it is necessary for a rating to verify the authenticity of your rating, in some cases we can request from a partner e-shop also other additional data, in particular your identification and contact data and data about an order. For these purposes we store personal data for the necessary time for an assessment of ratings, but for no more than six months. You have the right to object to such processing.

2.7 If you are a retailer

If you are a retailer, we can process your data as described above, depending on whether you visit our website, register with us or, for example, make a purchase from us.

At our website we publish the profiles of e-shops containing basic information about shops, their user ratings and discussions. We can place a profile of your e-shop on our website even without your prior registration. If you are a retailer and also an individual, data from the profile of your e-shop can include also your basic identification and contact details, based on our legitimate interest consisting of the provision of trustworthy information to the public and e-shops. For this purpose we can use your personal data for the entire duration of the operation of your e-shop plus a period of one year, then the profile of your e-shop will be anonymized and your personal data removed.

If you use our services for retailers (e.g. PPC advertising, the Basket program or the Verified by Customers program) and you are also a physical entity, we process your identification and contact data and data about your settings for the purpose of preparation, conclusion and performance of contracts. In the profile of your e-shop we can, depending on the service used and your settings, publish additional information. For this purpose we use personal data for the period necessary to perform contacts concluded.

In the event of the commencement of court, administrative or other proceedings, we process your personal data to the necessary extent for the duration of such proceedings and the remaining time-bar period after their end. Our legitimate interests here are the protection of legal claims and controls on the proper provision of our services.

In relation to your personal data you have a number of rights. They are the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, to object and to file a complaint.

The same as we have rights and duties during the processing of your personal data, you have certain rights during the processing of your personal data. These rights include:

Right of access
To put it simply, you have the right to know what data we are processing about you, for what purpose, for what period, where we obtain your personal data, who we hand it over to, who processes it in addition to us and what your other rights are related to the processing of your personal data. You can learn all this in this document. If, however, you are not sure what personal data we are processing about you, you can ask us for a confirmation of whether personal data that concerns you is or is not being processed by us and, if it is, you have the right to obtain access to such personal data. As a part of the right of access you can request a copy of personal data processed, where we will provide you with the first copy free of charge and additional copies for a charge.

Right to rectification
To err is human. If you ascertain that personal data we process about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have us rectify or supplement them, without undue delay.

Right to erasure
In some cases you have the right to have us erase your personal data. We will delete your personal data without undue delay if one of the following reasons is met:

  • We no longer need your personal data for the purposes for which we processed them;
  • You rescind your consent to personal data processing, where it is data the processing of which requires your consent and we do not have another reason to continue to process such data;
  • You exercise your right to file a complaint against processing (see the part Right to file a complaint against processing, below) for personal data that we process based on our legitimate interests and we find that we have no such legitimate interests that would justify such processing; or
  • You believe that the personal data processing we perform stops being in compliance with generally binding legal regulations.

Please remember that even if it is one of these reasons, this does not mean that we will immediately delete all your personal data. This is because this right does not apply in the event that the processing of your personal data remains necessary for the performance of our legal duty or the determination, performance or defending of our legal entitlements (see the part Why do we process personal data and what entitles us to do this?).

Right to restrict processing
In some cases you can, in addition to the right to erasure, also exercise a right to the restriction of personal data processing. This right enables you, in certain cases, to request the designation of your personal data and for such data not to be the subject of any other processing operations – in this case, however, not forever (as in the case of the right to erasure), but only for a limited time. We have to restrict the processing of personal data if:

  • You deny the accuracy of the personal data, before we agree which data is correct;
  • We process your personal data without sufficient legal grounds (e.g. over the framework of what we have to process), but you, before the erasure of such data, prefer its restriction (e.g. if you expect that in the future you will provide the data to us anyway);
  • We no longer need your personal data for the aforementioned purposes of processing, but you request them for the determination, making or defense of your legal claims; or
  • You object to processing. The right to object is described in more detail in the chapter Right to object to processing). For the period during which we are investigating whether your objection is legitimate, we are obligated to restrict the processing of your personal data.

Right to portability
You have the right to obtain from us all the personal data you provided to us and that we process based on your consent (see the part If you grant us your consent) and based on the performance of a contract (see the part Why do we process personal data and what entitles us to do this?). We will provide your personal data to you in a structured, common and machine-readable format. So that we can easily transfer data at your request, it can concern only data that we process in automatic fashion in our electronic databases.

Right to object to processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, which occurs based on our legitimate interest (see the part Why do we process personal data and what entitles us to do this?). If this concerns marketing activities, we will stop processing your personal data without further action; in other cases we will do so if we do not have serious legitimate grounds to continue with such processing.

Right to file a complaint
Claiming your rights in the aforementioned manner does not in any way affect your right to file a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority. You can claim this right in the event that you believe that we are processing your personal data illegitimately or in conflict with generally binding legal regulations. You can submit a complaint against the processing of personal data performed by us to the Office for Personal Data Protection, which is headquartered at: Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7.
