We are responsible for its protection and safety. Therefore, read below how we protect them and what rights you have in relation to GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

We process your personal data as controllers, i.e. we decide how the data will be processed, for what purpose, for how long and we choose other eventual processors who help us with data processing.

If you wish to contact us during the data processing, you can use this email: info@linkedacademy.eu

We declare, as the controller of your personal data, that we meet all legal obligations required by valid legislation, mainly the General Data Protection Act and GDPR. This means:

• We are going to process your personal data only based on valid legal reasons, mainly due to a legitimate interest, performance of a contract, legal obligation or given consent.

• We will enable you and support you in exercising and enforcing your rights according to the GDPR and Personal Data Protection Act. 

We process personal data you voluntarily share with us for the following reasons (for fulfiling these purposes):

• Providing services, and the performing of the contract

Your personal data in the range: Invoice data, e-mail, eventually address necessary for fulfilling the contract (e.g. sending login details for the online course member section, sending information regarding time and place of a live event., delivering a book or other merchandise, etc.).

• Bookkeeping purposes

If you are customers,  we need your personal data (invoice data) in order to meet the legal obligation for issuing and recording tax documents.

• Direct e-mail marketing

Your personal data (e-mail and name), gender, what pages on our website you visit and what you click on in the e-mails and when you usually open the e-mails are used for direct marketing purposes – sending business messages. If you order any of our webinars, PDF files, MP3 or video training (either paid or complimentary), we perceive this as a legitimate interest to send you information and news regarding similar topics and know-how. We are going to do so for a maximum of 5 years from the date you subscribe.

If you buy any of our products or services, we send you information and a newsletter with related topics and know-how as to an honorable customer based on your legitimate interest for the period of 5 years.

• Photos and video recordings from seminars

On some of our live events – workshops, training, seminars… we make photo-documentation or video recordings. We use the photos in promotional materials, mainly on the website. Video recordings serve online course students as studying materials. In these materials, you never find the names of the participants, only in references based on the consent. If you do not wish to appear in the recordings, let us know ahead of the event by using our contact details.

Your personal data is kept for the duration of the limitation periods if the law doesn't state longer periods for their keeping or if we haven't stated otherwise in specific cases. 

While browsing our website, we record your IP address, for how long you stay and which website you come from. We perceive using cookies for monitoring website traffic and website display adjustments as the legitimate interest of the controller, as we believe, that thanks to this we can offer you even better services. 

Cookies for targeted advertising will be processed only based on your consent. 

Our website can be browsed also in the mode that doesn't enable personal data collection. You can disable using cookies in your internet browser. 

We protect personal data on the highest possible level by using modern technologies that correspond with the current degree of technical development. We protect them as if they were our own. We have accepted and applied all possible (currently known) technical and organizational procedures that prevent misusage, corruption or destroying of your personal data. 

Our co-workers and employees, which are bound to confidentiality and trained in the field of data processing safety, have access to your personal data.

We manage the majority of processing operations by ourselves and we don’t need the services of third parties.

To proceed with some specific processing operations, which we are not able to manage on our own, we use services and applications of providers that specialize in certain processing and are in accordance with GDPR

They are the following:

• Application provider for communication, website building and invoicing.

• E-mail communication and customer support application provider.

• Facebook, Google.

• Book keeping and tax advice providers.

• IT services and hosting providers, including cloud storage.

• Providers of assistance services for customer support.

• Payment getaway providers (payment cards providers).

• Legal services providers, lawyers.

• Publishing and postal services providers.

• Co-operating partners working together with us during special events for clients.

It is possible that we will decide to use other apps or providers in the future to improve and facilitate processing. Nevertheless, we promise you that when choosing any new provider we will claim at least the same level of data processing as we use for ourselves. 

We process data coming solely from the European Union or from the countries that ensure the corresponding level of protection based on the European Commission decision. 

According to personal data protection, you have a number of rights. If you wish to apply some of these rights, please, contact us via email: info@linkedacademy.eu.

You have the right to be informed, which is fulfiled by this information page, with the information on the principles of personal data processing. 

Thanks to the right of access, you can acquire information on what personal data of yours we process and why. And we are going to report back to you within 30 days. 

If some information from your personal data changes or you find that they are not up to date, you have the right of rectification of personal data.

You can use the right to restrict the processing if you presume that we are processing your inaccurate data, you presume we run the processing illegally, but you don't wish to erase all the data, or if you object to the processing.  You can limit the range of personal data used for processing purposes. (Eg. by unsubscribing from a newsletter, you disable the purpose of sending business messages).

The right to data portability
If you wish to transfer your personal data to somebody else, we will proceed your request in the same way as if using the right to access - only with the difference that, we will give you the information in machine-readable form. For this, we need at least 30 days. 

The right to erasure (to be forgotten)
Your other right is the right to erasure (to be forgotten). We do not wish to forget you, but if this is your wish, you have the full right to it. In this case, we will delete all your personal data from our system and from the systems of all the partial processors and backups. We need 30 days to secure the erasure right. 

In some cases, we are bound by legal obligations, and, for example, we need to keep evidence of issued tax documents for the period laid down by law. In this case, we will erase all personal data, which is not bound by other law. We are going to inform you about the erasure completion via e-mail. 

Complaint at the Office for Personal Data Protection
If you get the impression that we aren't processing your data according to the law, you have the right to refer to the Office for Personal Data Protection. We will appreciate it if you contact us first if you suspect somthing, then we get the chance to do something about it and correct any eventual misconducts. 

Unsubscribing from newsletters and business messages

We send you e-mails with inspiration, articles, products and services based on our legitimate interest. You can opt out by using the unsubscribe link in every e-mail sent.

We ensure that our employees and co-workers that will process your personal data are obliged to maintain confidentiality regarding personal data and safety procedures, which disclosure would compromise the security of your personal data. This confidentiality lasts even after the termination of their engagement with us. Your data won't be passed onto any other third party without your consent.  

These principles of personal data processing are valid from 25.5.2018.
