Categories of personal data: name, surname, e-mail, mobile phone, billing information, bank account, login to user account, user account behaviour - shopping habits, IP address, cookies, order history

Voluntarily provided personal data. Users voluntarily provide personal data to the Controller when the user registers, purchases in the e-shop of the Controller or by any other means (e.g. by e-mail, telephone) or in a similar way.

Special categories of personal data (sensitive personal data). The Controller does not process this category of data for his customers.

Publicly available personal data. The Controller can process personal data from publicly available sources and combine them with those that the data subjects have voluntarily provided to the Controller.

Website. The Controller handles information about when data subjects visit and view his website. This information can include an IP address, web activity, and more information about interacting with our website. We may collect this data as part of the log or using cookies or other tracking technologies.

II. Purposes of processing

All of these categories of personal data are processed by the Controller as they are necessary to meet the following purposes:

A. Sign up for a user account

The e-shop operated by the Controller enables registration by setting up a user account. When signing up, personal data is required to create a user account that serves to review the orders that the data subject realizes or has realized in the e-shop, to count possible discounts, or to manage billing and delivery data.

The lawful reason for the processing of personal data for the purpose of registering a user account is the granting of voluntary, unconditional consent of the data subject to the Controller.

Registered users are sent a regular newsletter from which they can sign out at any time.

B. Performance of the contract

The lawful reason for the processing of personal data is the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or the implementation of measures taken just prior to the conclusion of the purchase contract.

The processing of personal data is carried out in order to ensure the smooth delivery of the goods or services ordered by the data subject.

C. Newsletter (commercial communication)

Sending promotional emails to registered users and/or customers to promote similar products and services. The Controller may send a commercial message to the contacts of the registered users or customers when, on the basis of legitimate interest, he promotes similar products and services through direct marketing, but only until the recipient expresses disagreement.

Except for the case of legitimate interest, the Controller may also send a commercial message to those who have given prior consent to the processing of personal data for marketing and business purposes in advance (e.g. through the contact form on the Controller's website). The “Logout” function is set in every marketing communication that the Controller sends, even if he communicates with the Users. The Controller sends a commercial message with the offer of his services or related products usually twice a month.

D. Subscription to commercial communication

The Controller's E-shop allows to subscribe to commercial communication.

The lawful reason for the processing of personal data for the purpose of sending business communication is the granting of voluntary, unconditional consent of the data subject to the Controller by means of a confirmation on the relevant subscription site. Every customer is properly informed through this Privacy Policy about the privacy rights.

Subscription to commercial communication is in the so-called double opt-in mode, which prevents the abuse of an email address. In practice, this means that after confirmation, a confirmation of the subscription for a commercial communication is sent to the e-mail. This confirmation contains an active link, and only by clicking it, the e-mail will be included in the recipients database of the subscribers of commercial communication.

E. Sending transactional messages.

These are messages for registered Users, to ensure awareness of the necessary maintenance or error status of the e-shop as well as new functionalities. At the same time, there are emails about the status of the order, the delivery of the order or the stage of the complaint procedure etc. These may be transactional emails or messages via the Information System or other similar messages.

For optimal visitor awareness, links to third-party sites (usually business partners with whom the Controller works) are placed on the Controller's website. If the data subject clicks on that link, he acknowledges that third-party sites have their own privacy policy that may vary from the Controller's website policy.

In addition to the query, the name, subject of the query and e-mail should be provided in the contact form. By pressing the “Send” button, the data subject agrees with the processing of personal data for the purpose of re-contacting and answering the inserted query.

The time for processing personal data when sending a contact form and for which the personal information is stored by the Controller, is the duration of the query solution, then the personal data is deleted from the database of the Controller.

I. Other marketing activities on the Controller's website

On the Controller's website, you can see other marketing activities like filling in a questionnaire, quiz, participating in a competition, etc. This is an extraordinary, time-limited activity that always states separately what personal data the Controller collects and how it is dealt with.

Those personal data that are necessary for the proper provision of the service or for the fulfilment of all obligations of the Controller, whether these obligations arise from a contract or generally binding legal regulations, must be processed by the Controller irrespective of the granted consent granted by the data subject for the period stipulated by the relevant legal regulations or in accordance with them also after the withdrawal of the consent of the data subject.

For the purpose of fulfilling the rights and obligations of the contractual relationship between the Controller and the Customer for the duration of the contractual relationship between the Controller and the data subject, or for the period necessary to fulfil legal obligations and to protect legitimate interests, but no later than 5 years from the date of termination of the contractual relationship with the data subject.

The time for the processing of personal data in the case of sending business communications is 2 years from the last active review of the business communication by the subscriber, unless the data subject cancels the subscription earlier.

IV. Technical, safety and organizational measures

Technical and safety measures. With regard to the likelihood of risks and taking into account the ratio between the cost of possible measures and technical possibilities, the Controller has introduced technical, safety and organizational measures - in all areas where personal data are processed (in particular website, e-shop operation, employee agenda, communication with customers). The Controller meets strict GDPR requirements.

The developers of the Controller work with lawyers to ensure that the operation of the e-shop and Controller's website and the provision of services by the Controller is in compliance with the applicable spam and privacy laws.

The Controller cannot disclose all details and circumstances of a technical nature that protect his website and e-shop and the personal data he is processing. By publishing the details, it would be easier for those who might strive to break through systems and security barriers.

The Controller informs that he uses a secure information system that provides personal data with security appropriate to the state of the art, cost, nature, scope and purposes of processing. The Controller considers the information system to be safe also in view of the possible risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

Organizational measures. All employees who have access to personal data are bound by confidentiality and must respect the security principles. Approaches to all systems including the information system are customized and password covers are created in different ways. The information system records logs so that the Controller can control individual employees' access to individual databases. Employees are regularly trained.

Office. The offices of the Controller are safe, lockable, and strangers cannot access them without Controller's knowledge. Records in a paper form are not kept by the Controller, only where it is strictly necessary. In this case, the Controller keeps them locked.

V. Transmission of personal data to third parties

The Controller only passes personal data to entities with whom he has a proper processing contract or a joint-venture agreement.

Joint Controllers. These are the operators of the individual branches in which the Controller actually stores the goods, and there can be purchase, as well as the delivery of orders from the e-shop. These entities have access to an information system in the day-to-day business, which is primarily intended for order management. The branches are managed by RICOM energy, CRN: 250 18 191, with registered office at Na Bělidle 1135, Liberec VI-Rochlice, 460 06 Liberec. Business communication as well as other marketing activities where customer personal data is processed are solely done by the Controller. The Joint Controllers agree that the Controller acts as a contact person, by e-mail asistent@ricomgas.cz.

Processors. The Controller uses only verified processors with whom he has a written agreement and who provide the Controller with at least the same guarantees as the Controller to the data subjects. The Controller uses only processors from the EU or from countries that are safe according to the European Commission's decision. All of these partners are bound by the confidentiality obligation and may not use the data provided for any purpose other than that to which the Controller has made them disclosed.

Processors are entities with whom Controller cooperates in the field of accounting, advocacy, development and administration of online solutions or marketing specialists, as well as software and cloud solutions. Personal data may be stored on servers of companies NET-SYSTEM s.r.o. or ChciSystem s.r.o. We use the services of delivery experts and goods carriers, accounting and wage system.
