8. Social Media

1. Shariff solution
We use Shariff buttons from social networks Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Xing on our website. The buttons are simple HTML links. The procedure we use is within the framework of the Shariff solution. With the Shariff solution a script retrieves the number of times, e.g., the share button on a page has been clicked on: for this the script contacts the social network via the programming interfaces and retrieves the numbers. None of your personal data are transmitted in the process. Rather than your IP address, only our server address is transmitted to Facebook, Google and Twitter. You only become directly connected to Facebook, Google or Twitter if you perform an action. Before that the social networks cannot collect any data about you. As long as you do not click on a link to share content, you remain invisible to the networks. If you click on a link, the obligation to provide information about data collection and processing no longer rests with us, but rather with the operator of the social network.

Personal Data Protection at EOS KSI Czech Republic, s.r.o. (“Company”)

The Company handles personal data in accordance with the applicable legal regulations exclusively. The information below will guide you with the principles governing the Company's personal data protection. 

As the Company primarily provides its customers with debt collection services for their debtors, the Company comes into contact with the personal data of debtors - natural persons ("data subjects") handed over by the customers as the processors of personal data. The principles of processing of personal data are bindingly regulated between each customer and the Company under an agreement on the processing of personal data. During the processing itself, the Company always follows the instructions of individual customers, as personal data managers, in such cases.

In other cases - especially as regards the recovery of claims of the Company, if it is expressly agreed with another administrator or as a result of the circumstances of processing - the Company acts as the controller of the personal data of the data subjects, i.e. in particular decides on the purpose and means of processing the relevant personal data.

Special cases of personal data processing by the Company involving the personal data of job seekers in the Company or about cooperation with the Company, employees of the Company and external associates of the Company are governed by separate principles for processing of personal data. 

These terms and conditions set out the rights and obligations of the Company when it is in the position of a personal data controller in relation to data subjects. If the Company is solely a personal data processor, the processing of personal data is subject to the rights and obligations set out in the privacy policy of the respective customer, creditor and you may contact your creditor directly in such an event. In such a case, the Company acts only as the contact point of the customer - administrator - in connection with the personal data that the customer has handed over to the Company.

Information about the administrator / processor of personal data:

2. Purposes of processing of personal data

If the Company acts as a personal data controller (i.e. the Company is the creditor of the claim to which your personal data relates), the purpose of the processing is given by (i) the recovery of claims, (ii) the performance of the Company's obligations under agreements entered into or special legal provisions or (iii) by ensuring the protection of the rights and the legitimate interests of the Company and / or third parties.

On the basis of the above, the Company will generally not need the consent of the data subject to process such personal data. The consent of the data subject will be required by the Company if part of the processing of personal data is, in particular, a summary solution of multiple debtors (data subjects) that do not have the same creditor.

For the sake of completeness, the Company states that if the Company acts as a processor of personal data, it derives the purpose of processing personal data from that designated by the processor (i.e. the creditor of the claim) and which is always included in the relevant processing agreement. As a rule, in these cases, the processing of personal data is the purpose of recovering claims.

3. Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6(1)a) [your consent], (b) [performance of the agreement or negotiation before its conclusion] or (f) [legitimate interests of the Company] Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (General Data Protection Regulation). The legal basis for processing your personal data (identification, contact and credit rating data) also follows from the below laws: 

(a)  Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection (this act regulates credit registers);

(b)  Act No. 257/2016 Coll., on Consumer Credit (this act regulates the rights and obligations in the provision and mediation of consumer credit);

(c) Act No. 253/2008 Coll., on Certain Measures against the Legalisation of Proceeds from Crimes (this act imposes an obligation to carry out the identification and control of certain persons);

(d)   Act No. 69/2006 Coll., on the Implementation of International Sanctions (this act imposes an obligation to verify that certain persons are not subject to international sanctions); or

(e)  Act No. 499/2004 Coll., on Archiving and Filing Service (this act imposes the obligation to store and archive certain documents).

In some cases, the Company processes your personal data to ensure the protection of both its own and third-party rights and legitimate interests. Such processing is authorised by the Company without your consent; however, the scope of the grounds for the Company to legitimise this type of processing is limited. The Company always carefully reviews the existence of a legitimate interest.

Examples of processing personal data as a legitimate interest:

(a) Preparation of documentation relating to the processing of your personal data that is necessary and essential for the creation of such documentation;
 
(b) Management of relationships with debtors and clients of the Company - performing all legal actions and deeds relating to the management of your debt or solving your claims, wishes, complaints, etc.;
 
(c) Reporting, notification and confirmation used to manage your debt;
 
(d) Reporting and generating analytical models based on aggregated and anonymised personal data and sharing with parent companies (EOS Holding GmbH and EOS International Beteiligungs-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH)
 
(e) Analysing your data for:

(i) Setting appropriate parameters for instalments and other agreements;
 
(ii) Assessing your credit rating;
 
(iii) Prevention and detection of fraud, prevention of non-compliance;
 
(iv) Prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, compliance with embargoes;
 
(v) Compliance with the Company's statutory obligations vis-à-vis public authorities, in particular regulators;
 
(vi) Testing changes to the Company's software; or
 
(vii) Processing analyses of aggregated (and anonymised) data for historical and statistical purposes.

The Company, as a process, processes the following categories of personal data:

Identification data - name, surname, title, birth number or date of birth, permanent address, ID number (identity card, passport number or similar document), signature - business entity's physical identification number and company ID. 

Contact details - primarily contact address, telephone number, e-mail address and similar information. 

Credit rating (ability to pay back) and reputational data - personal data necessary for the Company to, in particular, provide or broker a consumer loan without undue legal or material risk or to effectively exercise or defend its rights and obligations. The nature and extent of this personal data depends on the nature of the situation for which the processing of such personal data is required.

Data on your debt, number of transactions, insolvency proceedings and communication with the Company - data on your debts recovered by the Company and related communication (e.g. actual and historical statements of debt recovered, telephone call records, records of other communications), data on the number of enforcement proceedings or insolvency proceedings) against you.

Special categories of personal data - healthcare data is processed only in specific situations, and only with your consent.

As a processor, the Company always processes your personal data that is transmitted to it by the processor (i.e. the creditor of the claim).

Personal data available to the Company is processed and stored within the Company. If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent or legitimate interest of the Company, personal data may also be processed by some of the Company's suppliers. Suppliers who cooperate with the Company are carefully selected, in particular, on the basis of safeguards to ensure the technical and organisational protection of personal data transmitted to us. Personal data may only be processed for the Company by the processors under an agreement on the processing of personal data. The Company may, in the above sense, provide personal data to the following beneficiaries for legitimate purposes:

(a) to companies operating within the Company's group (EOS Holding GmbH (Reg. HRB 124966) and EOS International Beteiligungs-Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH (HRB 37437));

(b) suppliers for performing the agreement and protect the rights and legitimate interests of the Company or of a third party;

(c) providers of postal and communications and electronic communications services;

(d) non-bank registers in order to comply with the responsible lending obligation;

(e) law firms for the purpose of recovering claims under credit agreements;

(f) executors and auctioneers for the purpose of applying the related claims; or

(g) to the regulator to oversee the Company's activities.

The Company is authorised to hand over your personal data in legitimate cases to processing outside of the Czech Republic. However, the transfer of personal data always takes place in accordance with the legal requirements and the protection of your personal data is ensured in any event. In particular, this may be the case where, in view of the debtor's domicile and the relevant European legislation, the claim is to be enforced in the country in which the debtor is domiciled.
Your personal data will only be retained by the Company for the necessary period of time and will be archived in accordance with statutory deadlines imposed by law.

The Company processes personal data as (i) the processor for as long as the processing agreement with the relevant administrator permits; or (ii) the processor for the duration of the contractual relationship, the existence of a debt or other legal reason that allows the Company to process personal data. The Company has strict internal rules that verify the lawfulness of the possession of personal data; the Company shall not archive personal data for longer than authorised.

Once the legitimate reason for processing personal data no longer applies, the Company shall immediately erase it.

Personal data processed by the Company with your consent shall only remain for the duration of the purpose for which consent was granted.
The company processes your personal data the transparently, correctly and in compliance with all applicable legal regulations.

At the same time, however, you have the right to contact the Company at any time to obtain information about the procedure of processing your personal data or for the purpose of exercising the rights listed below that are related to personal data.
