After disabling and/or blocking cookies, a customer can still navigate on the Agency’s website. However, it is possible that some options and/or functions of the website will not be available to such customer, i.e. the time needed to access certain functions of the website will be longer than usual.

3. For what purposes personal data is collected and processed further 

The Agency collects personal data in order to provide, maintain, protect and improve its purchase-related services, to understand the ways in which users and/or customers use the services provided and use the Company’s website, and to perform its contractual obligations. Such information is collected by the Company on the basis of a consent given by the customer for one or more specific purposes, as well as in one of the cases below.

Fulfilment of contractual obligations
The Agency collects and further processes customers’ personal data for the purpose of stipulating and delivering contracts and other acts associated with contract conclusion and delivery in accordance with the relevant regulations.

The legal basis for the processing of customers’ personal data for the foregoing purposes is the necessity of entering into a contract, i.e. in the event that the customer refuses to provide essential information, the Agency will not be able to enter into a contract and / or undertake certain activities related to execution of the contract concluded.

Fulfilment of legal obligations
Following a written request submitted by a customer to the above indicated data protection officer’s address, the Agency is obliged to provide the customer access to the personal data being processed, rectification of inaccurate personal data, erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of his/her personal data, and to inform the customer of the right to object to processing personal data concerning him or her and of the right to data portability.

Direct marketing
Customer’s contact details may be used for sending advertising notifications about the Agency’s services, if the customer has given a consent for this type of processing or if there is a legitimate interest of the Agency for this type of actions, unless such interest is overridden by customer’s interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require personal data protection.

The Agency may use contact details and personally turn to customers whose personal data it already has based on a legitimate interest for sending advertising notifications about all products and services provided by the Agency, using all available marketing channels, unless the customer objects to such processing.

In order for a customer to receive notifications in line with his/her wishes and habits, it is required that the Agency uses certain customer’s data to create personalised advertising notifications, as long as the customer does not expressly object to such processing of data i.e. withdraw his/her previously given consent for processing.

4. Internal purposes
The Agency uses certain customers’ data only for its own records, for the purposes of protection of legitimate interests of customers and/or the Agency. For instance, the above includes the use of personal data for creation of offers that satisfy customers’ needs and wishes, market research and analysis.

Information of potential users
The Agency is also entitled to collect information of potential users of its services. Such data include the basic data (name and surname, email address), but also the interests of potential customers that turn to the Agency wishing to be informed and/or sent an offer for certain products and services.

In the above case, the legal basis for data collection is the customer’s consent.

5. Personal data storage and processing period

Depending on the purpose and the legal basis on which the customer’s personal data is collected, the Agency is in some cases obliged to keep personal data for a period of time that for a particular purpose is prescribed by applicable regulations or until the termination of the purpose for which they were collected.

In cases where the basis for data collection and processing is legitimate interest of the Agency or customer’s consent, the personal data is kept for the following time periods:
a) data on existing customers: during the contractual relationship and 10 years after termination;
b) data on potential customers: 10 years.

Data processed based on a legitimate interest of the Agency and/or customer’s consent may be deleted even before the expiration of the time limit specified in this Policy, if such deletion is requested by the customer or if the customer objects to such processing.

6. Customer’s rights

• Right of access to personal data
• Right to rectification of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure of personal data
• Right to restriction of data processing
• Right to object

Customer may exercise his/her rights in writing, by sending a filled request to the Agency’s address, or by clicking on the link forma.uniline.hr, by filing an online request.

7. Location of personal data processing

The Agency processes customers’ personal data in the Republic of Croatia.

8. Conditions on which personal data are shared with third parties

Customers’ personal data are transferred by the Agency to third parties (partner agencies, associated companies, and competent authorities) only in the following cases:
a) based on customer’s consent;
b) for the purpose of fulfilling a contractual obligation towards the customer, provision;
c) for the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations of the Company;
d) when such processing is required for the protection of customer’s key interests.

9. Consent management

The active role of the customer in the protection of privacy is reflected in his/her giving of consent as a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data. The consent management implies the possibility that the customer, by an active and unambiguous action, authorises the Agency to collect and process specific personal data for one or more purposes (consent of the data subject), or that the customer withdraws, in the same way, his or her previously given consent to collection and processing of personal data, for one or more purposes.
