Administrator
Under the GDPR, a controller is an entity which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
The controller for the processing of data related to the activities of the website are:
Kateřina Blašková, Czechia Jewels s.r.o., registered office Vlárská 329, Křenovice 683 52, Czech Republic contact: info@katerinablaskova.com (hereinafter referred to as the "Controller").
A data controller is designated to ensure that the Website processes personal data in accordance with the GDPR. In case of any questions, the Data Protection Officer can be contacted at the following e-mail address: info@katerinablaskova.com.
Personal data
In the event that the data controller is authorised to process personal data, it is possible that this will be the so-called Purpose of Processing.
"Personal Data" means any information relating to Users that personally identifies them, either alone or in combination with other information.
Personal Information is collected automatically on the Site or is obtained from a variety of sources: forms, chat, email, apps, devices, social media and other means.
The Site processes personal information in various forms for the following purposes:
Browsing data
The Site automatically collects non-sensitive browsing data to enable and improve user navigation (e.g., IP address, date/time of visit and length of visit, referring URL if applicable, pages visited on the Site, a device used, and other information).
The processing of this information enables users to access the Website and make full use of its features and services. In addition, browsing data may be used to verify the proper functioning of the Website.
From time to time, browsing data is processed anonymously for statistical purposes.
It is unlikely that browsing data will allow the identification of the relevant data subject. However, browsing data may, by its nature, allow the identification of users when combined with other information.
The browsing data described above are stored only temporarily in accordance with applicable law.
Orders
When placing an order, the Website requires users to provide personal data for the necessary purpose of processing their purchase order and fulfilling contractual obligations (e.g. name and surname, e-mail address, delivery address, etc.).
This personal data is also necessary for customer service to assist customers with enquiries and for any related needs before or after the sale (e.g. with regard to the delivery status of the order or for product returns).
Personal data related to orders will be retained for as long as necessary to comply with contractual obligations and relevant tax and financial reporting obligations.
The Site may also verify the payment instruments that customers use to make purchases on the Site (e.g., credit or debit card, etc.), primarily to prevent fraudulent activity or to comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws. As payment verification is fully entrusted to third-party payment processors, the administrators do not process or store any financial information belonging to customers.
Failure to provide the personal information requested at checkout will prevent users from completing an order on the site.
Based on its legitimate interest in improving customer relations, the Site will send email communications to these customers with product suggestions, discounts, requests for feedback, or other updates. Customers always have the option to unsubscribe from these email communications (for example, by clicking on the "unsubscribe link" at the bottom of each email).
Newsletter and marketing communications
On the Site, users may opt-in to receive newsletters and marketing communications.
The Site will always seek the express, free and unambiguous consent of users before sending newsletters and marketing communications to those users or, more generally, before undertaking electronic marketing initiatives directed at them.
In such cases, users may be asked to provide personal information (e.g. country of residence, etc.) in addition to their email address in order to tailor newsletters and marketing communications to the user's profile.
Users can always easily withdraw their consent to receive newsletters and marketing communications in the following ways:
- By clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in each such email;
- By contacting our customer service team at info@katerinablaskova.com
Profiling
With the express consent of the user, newsletters and marketing communications may be tailored to a user's "profile" based on personal information that the Site collects or obtains about the user.
With respect to the Website's customers, it is in the legitimate interest of the Website to process personal data in order to offer more interesting products, improve the Website and personalize the products offered on the Website.
The main purpose of profiling is to design products, services and initiatives that better match the tastes, shopping habits and interests of users and customers.
Personal data may also be used for remarketing, retargeting or profiling purposes, including through third parties (e.g. social networks, etc.).
The Site and its administrators never conduct any profiling activities regarding children.
Cookies
For information regarding the cookies used on the Site, please see the "Cookie Policy" page below.
Sharing and transfer of personal data
The Trustees will use their best endeavours to ensure that all processors apply industry best practice for the protection of personal data and that they do not use personal data for purposes other than those agreed with the Trustees.
For example, the Controller may share Personal Data with the following categories of Processors:
- Couriers and postal operators;
- Fulfillment centres and warehouses;
- Advertising, digital, social media and marketing agencies;
- IT service providers;
- Customer care service providers;
- Payment service providers.
In these cases, sharing personal data with Processors is necessary for the Controllers to fulfil their contractual obligations and also to improve the products and services of the Website.
Users may request an updated list of Processors involved in the processing of personal data relevant to the operation of the Site by contacting info@katerinablaskova.com.
Controllers must always reserve the right to disclose Users' personal data when required by law (for example, in response to requests from law enforcement authorities) and when necessary to protect the rights of the Controller or their affiliates or third parties.
In addition, personal data may be disclosed to other companies within the same corporate group of each Controller or to third parties in the event of a corporate restructuring process, in full compliance with applicable law.
In all other cases, the sharing of personal data is subject to the prior and explicit consent of the user, unless the processing is permitted on another legal basis.
Controllers will not transfer any personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) unless the user has expressly consented to such transfer or unless the transfer of personal data outside the EEA is permitted by the GDPR on another legal basis.
Processing methods and safety measures
The Controller processes users' personal data using IT, automated and electronic tools and, in limited cases, paper-based means. In accordance with the GDPR, specific security measures have been put in place to prevent data loss, illegal or incorrect use and unauthorised access.
Only authorized employees of the Controller and authorized employees of third-party vendors acting on behalf of the Controllers as Processors have access to personal data related to activities on the Website. Data processing agreements are in place with Processors to ensure that they always meet the level of security required by the GDPR when processing personal data related to activities on the Website.
While the Site takes primary security measures to prevent the loss, destruction or dissemination of personal data, it cannot eliminate the security risks inherent in online data transmission. The User accepts the risks associated with providing personal data over the Internet and will not hold the Site liable for any breach of security unless the breach is caused by the negligence or willful failure of the Site.
Retention of Personal Data
The controller will retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the requested services to users and customers or to comply with legal or tax obligations or for the minimum period required by law.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data retained by the Site based on user consent, the Controllers will consider multiple factors to ensure that personal data is not retained for longer than is necessary or appropriate. These criteria will also include:
- The purpose for which the Site retains the personal data;
- legal, tax and regulatory obligations in relation to that personal data;
- the type of ongoing relationship with the user or customer concerned (whether users continue to receive marketing communications, how regularly they view or purchase from the Site, etc.);
- Any specific requests from the user regarding the erasure of personal data;
- Legitimate business interests.
The Site will immediately delete or anonymize personal data that is no longer needed or is retained in accordance with the law.
Linking to third-party websites or platforms
The Site may contain banners, advertisements and other links to third-party websites or platforms. The Controllers cannot control or be responsible for the conduct of these third-party websites or platforms with respect to data protection law. Users are advised to read their privacy policies to verify how they collect and process personal data.
Users' rights
Users have the right to obtain confirmation of whether the Controllers hold any personal data about them.
If they do, users also have rights under the GDPR to:
- Be informed about the collection and use of their personal data;
- free access to their personal data;
- to have inaccurate personal data corrected or completed (if incomplete);
- to the erasure of personal data ("right to be forgotten");
