Where the Privacy Notice generally refers to transfers to the Company's data processors, such transfers shall also be understood as transfers to the above recipients.
SECTION III.
LAWFULNESS OF PROCESSING
1. Data processing based on the data subject’s consent
1.1. Where the Company intends to carry out data processing based on consent, the data subject's consent to the processing of his or her personal data shall be obtained by means of the data request form and information as set out in the Data Processing Policy.
1.2. Consent shall also be deemed to be given if the data subject ticks a box when viewing the Company's website, makes the relevant technical settings when using information society services, or makes any other statement or takes any other action which clearly indicates the data subject's consent to the intended processing of his or her personal data in the relevant context. Silence, ticking a box or inaction therefore does not constitute consent. The continuation of a telephone call after having been duly informed shall constitute consent.
1.3. Consent covers all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes. Where processing is carried out for more than one purpose, consent shall be given for all the purposes for which the processing is carried out.
1.4. Where the data subject gives his or her consent in the context of a written statement which also relates to other matters, such as the conclusion of a sales or service contract, the request for consent must be presented in a manner clearly distinguishable from those other matters, in a clear and easily accessible form, in clear and plain language. Any part of such a statement containing the consent of the data subject which is in breach of the Regulation shall not be binding.
1.5. The Company shall not make the conclusion or performance of a contract conditional on the giving of consent to the processing of personal data which are not necessary for the performance of the contract.
1.6. The withdrawal of consent must be made as simple as the giving of consent.
1.7. If the collection of personal data has been carried out with the consent of the data subject, unless otherwise provided by law, the data controller may process the collected data for the purpose of fulfilling a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, even without the data subject's further consent and after the data subject's consent has been withdrawn.
2. Data processing based on performing legal obligations
2.1. In the case of data processing based on performing legal obligations, the scope of the data that can be processed, the purpose of the data processing, the duration of data storage and the recipients are governed by the provisions of the underlying legislation.
2.2. The processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation is based on the regulation, regardless of the consent of the data subject.
In this case, prior to the processing of the data, the data subject shall be informed that the data processing is obligatory and shall be clearly and in detail informed of all facts concerning the processing, in particular the purpose and legal basis of the data processing, the person authorized to handle and process the data, the duration of the data processing, whether the personal data of the data subject are processed by the Data Controller on the basis of the legal obligation applicable to him or her, and who can get access to the data. The information shall include the rights and remedies available to the data subject. In the case of mandatory data processing, the information may also take place with the publication of a reference to the legislative provisions which contain the foregoing information.
3. Data processing based on legitimate interests
3.1. The legitimate interests of the Company or a third party may provide a legal basis for the processing, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. The reasonable expectations of the data subject based on his or her relationship with the controller should be taken into account, so that the processing of personal data for contact purposes, even for direct marketing purposes, may be considered to be based on legitimate interests.
3.2. The processing based on legitimate interests requires a balancing of interests test, in which the Company will always take into account the current circumstances and the situation of the controller and the data subjects. In the case of processing in the interest of the Company, the balancing of interests tests carried out separately have led to the following result: in the balancing of interests test, the Company has concluded, taking into account the conditions described for the processing in question, that the processing is justified subject to the appropriate safeguards, as set out in this Policy, without which the Company would not be able to operate competitively. In this light, the emotional impact on data subjects and the harm to their right to privacy can be considered proportionate.
4. Data processing for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or other natural person
4.1. Protection of the life or other vital interests of the data subject or the interests of another natural person may also constitute a legal basis for processing. Such is the case for a natural person where processing is carried out in order to receive healthcare services or to prevent the spread of epidemics.
5. Data processing based on contractual interests
5.1. Data processing may also be based on a contractual interest if it is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party or if it is requested by the data subject in order to prepare the contract.
6. Promoting the rights of the data subject
6.1. The Company is obliged to ensure the exercise of the rights of the data subject during all data processing.

In such cases, the data controller is obliged to examine the objection submitted by the data subject and, based on the so-called balance of interests (the comparison of the interests of the data controller and the data subject), decide on the continuation, possible restriction, or termination of the data processing. In order to justify the legitimate interests, the Data Controller has established a so-called "balancing of interests test".
The legal basis for the processing of other cookies is the freely given consent of the data subject [Article 6(1)(a) of GDPR].Freely given consent may be withdrawn at any time. Please be informed that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to its withdrawal.

Scope of data involved in data processing: by placing cookies and re-reading them, we process visitors' data and information relating to their use of the website and their browsing in accordance with the purposes of the processing.
Duration of data processing: We distinguish between cookies stored until the end of the current session and those kept for a specified longer period. Different cookies are stored only for a specified duration to achieve their intended purpose. The data subject can delete cookies stored on their computer or mobile phone at any time through their browser settings.
2. Detailed information about cookies
2.1 A cookie is a piece of data that the visited website sends to the visitor's browser (in the form of a variable name value) so that it can be stored and later loaded by the same website. A cookie can have a validity period, valid until the browser is closed, or for an unlimited period of time. Later, for each HTTP(S) request, this data is also sent by the browser to the server. In this way, the data on the user's computer is modified.
2.2 The nature of modern website services require cookies, with the function of identifying a user (for example, that they have accessed the site) and processing them accordingly, even identifying them on their subsequent return. The danger lies in the fact that the user is not always aware of this and may be tracked by the website operator or other service provider whose content is embedded in the site (e.g. Facebook, Google Analytics), thereby creating a profile of the user, in which case the content of the cookie may be considered personal data.
2.3. Types of cookies:
2.3.1. Technically essential session cookies: cookies that are necessary to identify the user, e.g. to check whether he/she has logged in, what he/she has added to the shopping cart, etc.
Typically, these cookies store a session ID, while other data is stored on the server, making it more secure. There is a security aspect to consider; if the session cookie value is not properly generated, there is a risk of session hijacking attacks, therefore, it is essential for these values to be generated correctly. In other terminologies, all cookies that are deleted when you exit the browser are called session cookies (a session being a browsing session from start to exit).
2.3.2. Usage-enhancing cookies: These are cookies that remember user choices, such as how the user prefers to view the site. Essentially, these types of cookies store configuration data in the cookie.
2.3.3. Performance-enhancing cookies: Although they are not directly related to "performance," these are usually cookies that gather information about the user's behavior within the visited website, including time spent and clicks. These cookies are typically third-party applications (e.g., Google Analytics, AdWords, or Yandex.ru cookies). These can be used to profile the visitor.
