Provision of personal data to third parties

Third parties may also process personal data processed by the controller, provided that the controller so decides, or the obligation to provide personal data arises from the Slovak Republic’s legal order.

In cases where the choice of the recipient of personal data is up to the controller, the controller always takes interest to ensure a high standard of personal data protection of the person concerned when selecting these partners.

The personal data of the person concerned may be processed in countries of the European Union and countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
