  • Marketing purposes. 

The legal basis of the processing is the consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR;
if your data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of personal data but your withdrawal shall not affect the legality of the processing of personal data that has been performed based on your consent prior to its withdrawal.

The Controller makes every effort to provide all physical, technical, and organisational means of protection of personal data against its accidental or intentional damage, accidental loss, modification, unauthorized disclosure, use, or access, in compliance with all applicable regulations.

The legal basis of the processing is the consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR;
if your data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of personal data, but your withdrawal shall not affect the legality of the processing of personal data that has been performed based on your consent prior to its withdrawal.

  • Performance of pre-contractual or contractual activities, based on your interest in our project. 

The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. You need to provide your personal data to perform a contract. On the other hand, if you do not provide your data, conclusion of the contract and, consequently, the performance of it, will not be possible. Beside from these actions, also questions received via the contact form, will be processed under the same legal basis.

  • Ensuring the security and the proper use of the website. PPHS processes data of the end users to the extent necessary to ensure the security of the Website, as required also by relevant legal provisions on information security.

  • Performance of statistical analytical and aggregated purposes and customer satisfaction level

The legal basis of this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR since the statistical activities are conducted to improve the service on the Website as well as to ameliorate the customer satisfaction level.

  • To defend PPHS from legal and/or regulatory risks.

The legal basis of processing is therefore the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, according with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

RECIPIENTS AND PROCESSORS

  • LINGUARISE DC project partners 
  • Third-party providers (e.g., consulting or audit services and support customer care), when the communication of data is necessary for the operation of the Website and the activities related
