ATEX processes your personal data in order to:

  • Provide goods and services and to conclude a business contract with you
  • Give you feedback or answer requests relating to your personal data protection
  • Send you notifications
  • Protect your personal data

Above all, we collect your data to be able to legally offer you our services and conclude a business contract.

The legal justifications for collecting your data are:

  • The fulfilment of a business contract with you for providing services
  • Meeting a legal obligation to answer your requests relating to your personal data
  • With your agreement, to contact you electronically with notifications
  • For market research purposes
  • To enable ATEX s.r.o. to offer you our customer service
  • Where we have a legal right or duty to use or disclose your information (for example, in relation to an investigation by a public authority or in a legal dispute).

3. What personal data do we collect and how long for?

We collect all the information necessary to manage customer service with you, including your name, surname, address, telephone number, email address, gender, password, username, order details, and company name. This information helps us manage your orders, respond to your inquiries, loyalty program matters, and preferences. With your agreement, we can also contact you electronically with marketing notifications.

When you purchase goods from us on our website, we also collect information to manage your order. This includes your name, surname, address, telephone number, email address, information on the product, the time and date of your purchase, the goods you purchased, your satisfaction with the service, changes to your order, or complaints.

We do not directly collect your payment details; they are collected through our partners. Geolocation information is collected to provide you with better service and goods and for statistical purposes.

Regarding newsletters and advertising notifications, we may process your email address, name, and surname. This information is only collected with your agreement.

Much of the information is collected through cookies, which are used to secure the proper functioning and personalization of our websites. We may collect your username and password, order history, geolocation information, IP address, browser and device details, and other information for statistical purposes. All of these are important tools for improving our websites and providing us with statistical information about our customers.

In order to communicate effectively with our customers, especially when responding to inquiries, we may process your name, surname, telephone number, and email address.

Without this data, we cannot provide you with our services as they are essential for our business contract.

We will not retain your data for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. However, the longest we will normally hold any personal data is 10 years from your order. If the order was not completed, all of your personal data will be deleted within 12 months in case our mutual relationship comes into force again.

In some cases, we may keep your personal data longer, but only if we are legally entitled to do so, especially in terms of taxes, accounting, and archives.

4. Marketing notifications

We use your data to fulfil any orders you place with us. If you DID NOT tick the box: 'I don’t want to receive marketing communication,’, we will send them to you. Your decision to receive or not receive marketing communication does not have any impact on our mutual business agreement. These notifications will include information on our services, products and offers that you may be interested in. 

We can also send you marketing communication if you pre-approved it regardless of whether you made a contract with us or not. 

Either way, you can cancel this service at any time on our email address, online form or through the cancellation link in every email.

5. Why do we use profiling and automatic decision making?

Our company is striving to provide you with individually tailored offers and services. Therefore, based on your agreement, we profile your personal data. In order to do that we use an automatic information system, web applications and calculators based on which we send you individualised notifications and offers, goods or services of ATEX s.r.o. This system allows us to meet your needs better, to estimate future trends and adjust our products and services accordingly. 

6. Who are our partners?

You agreed to allow us to share your personal data with our selected third-party partners when you agreed to receive marketing communications from us. Our partners follow the same regulations in protecting personal data, and we have signed contracts with them to process personal data. You can request a list of our business partners.

7. Who can access your personal data?

For marketing purposes, we share your data with third-party service providers who help us do this and generally operate our business effectively. For example, to improve the level of service we provide you, we may share your data with third-party mediators. ATEX s.r.o. has signed legal contracts with these parties on the use of personal data, based on which they must follow strict rules for dealing with personal data. We only share information that is necessary for their job. Third parties may include IT companies, hosting services, companies that ensure hardware runs smoothly, external marketing agencies, external graphic designers, and programmers, as well as external companies that provide payment portals.

These companies are based in the USA and are registered under the EU-US Privacy Shield. You can access it at https://www.privacyshield.gov. The European Commission has published an agreement on privacy settings related to the shield, Art. 45 par 9 GDPR, and therefore no other permission is needed.
