These principles of personal data processing provide our clients with a comprehensive concept of the ways in which personal data are processed by our company, as well as the rights of clients as subjects of personal data. The stated principles meet the conditions of the information obligation according to Article 13 of the GDPR.

Basic rules of data processing

Personal data of our clients are:

  • Always processed properly and correctly, and in a lawful and transparent manner;
  • Collected for specific, explicitly stated and legitimate purposes;
  • Reasonable, relevant and limited to the necessary extent in relation to the purpose for which they are processed;
  • Accurate and updated where necessary;
  • Stored in a form enabling the identification of data subjects for a period no longer than is necessary in relation to the relevant purpose of processing;
  • Processed in a way that ensures proper protection of personal data.

Lawful basis of processing

The lawful bases for the processing of clients’ personal data by our company are:

  • Conclusion and performance of a contract for the provision of tax advisory and accounting services;
  • Performance of our company’s legal obligations (in particular, accounting and tax obligations and also obligations under the Act No. 253/2008 Coll., on certain measures against legalization of proceeds of criminal activities and financing of terrorism, as amended, and related legal regulations);
  • The controller’s legitimate interest.

The client is always told whether the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual requirement, and whether the client is obliged to provide personal data, and, what the consequences of possible non-providing this data would be.

Scope of personal data processing

In connection with the lawful bases of processing described above, our company processes the following personal data of our clients:

  • Registered office address, ID number and VAT number, if the client is an entrepreneur;
  • Other information regarding the client of third parties, which is necessary for the proper provision of services by our company. 

These personal data are essential to fulfill the contract and legal obligations of our company; it is not possible to enter into a contract without them.

  • E-mail address for sending our newsletter. 

These data are processed on the basis of the legitimate interest of the controller, under the conditions of § 7 paragraph 3 of the Act No. 480/2004 Coll., on certain information society services, or based on the consent of the data subject.

These personal data are usually processed based on the consent of the data subjects.

Personal data are primarily processed manually.

  • In justified cases, also to other controllers, provided that legal regulations are respected simultaneously;
  • To public authorities, such as courts or administrative authorities;
  • To other recipients, if such disclosure is in accordance with the client’s needs and instructions.

Rights of data subjects

In connection with the processing of the client’s personal data by our company, the client, as a data subject, has rights granted by law. These are:

  • Right to access own personal data. The client is entitled to obtain information from our company on whether it processes his/her personal data and, if so, what data are processed and in what way.

  • Right to portability of personal data. The client is entitled to receive from our company the personal data that he/she has provided to us in a common and machine-readable format.
