    the Foundation’s functioning or accepting necessary terms and conditions, are conscious and have been exhaustively informed about any due rights
    and obligations.
  3. In the event that  the consent to the processing of personal data is voluntarily granted, the persons providing personal data can withdraw the granted consent at any time and in any form, provided that it is clearly communicated to the Controller.

  • Requirement to provide personal data.

  • Given the above, in order to pursue the goals specified in item III, the necessary data specified therein should be provided. Not always these will be all the data listed in item III, and their scope will be limited by the principle of minimalism and the need for the Foundation to have the particular personal data.

  • The persons providing personal data always have the right to request the following from the Controller:

  • restrict the processing thereof,
  • submit an objection against the processing thereof or

  • Automated personal data processing and profiling.
  • Personal data can be used for automated data processing, also for profiling, namely building analyses and forecasts concerning the data subject on the basis of the collected personal data.
  • Profiling involves the activity of the persons providing the data under the Foundation’s statutory operations and can be applied in its each possible aspect. It allows effective and purposeful actions to be taken, directly focused on the scope of activity of the persons providing the data, minimizing the interaction
    in the areas outside their interest.
  • Automated personal data processing can rely on customization of any delivered content as well as, in some cases, assignment of a personal category to the user’s profile.
  • Transferring personal data to third parties.

    of a similar or close profile of operations to that of the Foundation.
