The Pako d.o.o. website and online shop are primarily intended for companies and their representatives, whereby in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions we do not offer our products and services to consumers (i.e. natural persons who acquire or use the goods and services for purposes outside of their professional or gainful activity).

As a result, most of the personal data processed at Pako d.o.o. (e.g. business email addresses, business telephone numbers, etc.) relate to company representatives.

This information on personal data processing has been prepared in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: GDPR) and refers to processing of personal data by Pako d.o.o. in relation to you when you visit and use this website or the Pako online shop or in relation to your other interactions with Pako d.o.o.

Here you will find answers to questions such as:

  • what personal data is shared with Pako d.o.o. and why,
  • what is the scope and purpose for which your data is being processed and what are the legal bases that allow such processing,
  • how you can correct, delete or restrict the processing of your data, in whole or in part; and
  • what are your other rights regarding your personal data.

2  CONTROLLER CONTACT DETAILS

Pako d.o.o. has not yet appointed a Data Protection Officer. For any information regarding the processing and protection of your personal data, please contact us at support@pakosignparts.com at any time.


3 THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED AND THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

(a) If you are merely a website visitor

The way World Wide Web works is that certain data about website visits, such as IP number, browser version, time of visit, and URL of the page visited, is recorded on the web server hosting this website. Pako d.o.o. does not process the data collected in this way separately and does not link it to other data.

The purpose of these processes is to ensure network and information security, i.e. enable the detection and prevention of unauthorized access, which may jeopardize the availability, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal data and the security of related services, accessible through these networks and systems. Such processing is necessary for safe operation of this website.

If you have accepted optional (advertising) cookies, these and other data may be processed by our advertising partners in order to improve the display of our (and others') advertisements, as set out in more detail later in this document or on the "Cookies" sub-page.

(b) If you register or make a purchase

In addition to the data we collect from visitors when mandatory (or optional) cookies have been accepted, we may also, when you register for an account, process your first name, surname, telephone number and email address, information about the company you are registering with, company contact details and company field of activity.

In addition to the information required for visiting the website and registering, we will also collect the delivery address and contact phone number, if you place an order. Card payments are made through a third-party electronic payment provider, meaning we do not collect or store any credit card information.

For more details about both cases, please refer to the section "Who MAY process your personal data (PERSONAL DATA RECIPIENTS)".

The data referred to above is processed on a contractual basis (Article 6(e) of GDPR) for the purposes of providing basic functionalities of the Pako online shop (i.e. sending a confirmation email, executing the payment transaction, delivering the goods, sending you update notifications, allowing you to access documentation relating to the purchase via your profile, etc.) and for the purposes of communicating with you regarding your purchase (e.g. answering your queries, resolving complaints, etc.). In the cases described above, personal data is provided as part of a contractual obligation or contract negotiation, whereby your explicit consent is consequently not required for the purposes and processing of your personal data referred to above.

The data is stored for the period necessary for the execution of the contract and for 5 years after its termination, except in cases where there is a dispute regarding the contract; in such cases, the data is stored for 5 years from the final decision of the court or arbitration or settlement or, if there were no court proceedings, for 5 years from the date of amicable dispute settlement.

However, based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(f) of the GDPR, we may also occasionally send commercial communications about our products and services to email addresses of registered users. Similarly, we may occasionally contact users who, for example, have added selected products to their shopping basket and have not completed their purchase. If you do not wish to receive this type of messages, you can indicate this when registering for an account or at any time by following the unsubscribe link featured in each such message. You may also opt-out of receiving such communications at any time, either in your user profile or by sending a message to support@pakosignparts.com.

In this case, your data will be processed until your user account is terminated or we receive your opt-out from such communications.

(c) Marketing communication with persons who are not yet registered as users or customers of Pako d.o.o.

We will send marketing communication to persons who are not yet our customers (e.g. our newsletter) via e-mail, if such persons have given their explicit consent to such communication (e.g. if consent to such communication has been provided on our online prize draw form, on a paper form at the office, etc.).

In addition to your IP address, we may also process your e-mail address entered in the online or paper consent form, as well as the date and time of your sign up to receive marketing communication. The data is occasionally exported and processed in the Mailchimp online tool.

Pako d.o.o. processes this data exclusively for the purpose of providing information about sales news, promotions and other activities in the field of sales.

The personal data (e-mail address) is processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(a) of the GDPR).

Your e-mail address may be stored as long as necessary for fulfilling the purpose or until you unsubscribe from the newsletter service. You can unsubscribe from receiving marketing communication and newsletters at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the email received or by sending an email to support@pakosignparts.com.

(d) If you are applying for a vacancy at Pako d.o.o.

If a CV, name, surname, contact details or other requested data are sent in relation to a vacancy notice to the email or physical address provided, such data will be processed for the purposes of screening applications and possibly contacting the applicants or conducting interviews. In these cases, the data will be processed on the basis of Article 6(e) of the GDPR (i.e. contract negotiations).

If the candidate is not contacted for an interview, all the data received will be deleted within 30 days from the date of their receipt, whereby in cases where there are indications that disputes may arise in relation to the recruitment procedure carried out, abbreviated data of successful and unsuccessful candidates (e.g. name, surname, solved employment test or correspondence with the candidate) shall be stored for 2 years after the recruitment procedure (i.e. until the expiry of the general limitation period for employment-related offences under the Minor Offences Act).

(g) Situations where your data is processed based on legal requirement (e.g. invoicing)

Pako d.o.o. may also process certain personal data for the purposes of complying with legal and other regulations (Article 6(c) of the GDPR), in particular the laws and regulations governing tax and accounting (e.g. records of issued and received invoices etc.).

For example, such cases can occur when Pako d.o.o. is ordered by an inspector or other holder of public authority to provide personal data of a specific customer in accordance with the law (e.g. in the context of carrying out inspections under the provisions of the Inspection Act (ZIN), etc.), or when Pako d.o.o. processes personal data of customers for invoicing purposes (e.g. name, contact details, in which case the personal data is processed on the basis of the Value Added Tax Act (ZDDV-1) etc.).

(h) Situations where your data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. fraud prevention)

Pako d.o.o. may also process certain personal data for the purposes of protecting our legitimate interests (Article 6(f) of the GDPR).

In addition to the aforementioned marketing communications with registered users or customers, data is also processed based on our legitimate interests when the processing of your data is necessary in order to protect our business against potential fraud, or necessary in view of inspections and civil or other proceedings. In all such cases, only strictly necessary data shall be processed for the pursuit of legitimate business purposes and the processed data shall also be minimized.

The company may also process the personal data of a data subject in cases where the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person (e.g. to obtain the address of an individual who is at direct and serious risk in relation to a product purchased) (Article 6(d) of the GDPR).
