GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), namely the General Data Protection Regulation, is a European Union regulation regulating personal data protection and has been applied since May 25, 2018.

Whom does the GDPR apply to?

At SAPOON, GDPR primarily applies to private users who use SAPOON goods and services. However, the regulation also applies to business users where it is possible to determine which private person is in question, e.g., to craftsmen.

What types of personal data does SAPOON collect?

We always collect only those data necessary for business operations, namely those necessary to achieve a specific legitimate purpose. SAPOON never collects inappropriate data. The personal data we most frequently collect are contractual data. You gave us contractual data when concluding the contract (these are master data, e.g., first and last name, postal address, OIB (PIN), date of birth, contact details).

How long does SAPOON keep your data?

We store and process data only as long as necessary to execute a specific legitimate purpose, unless applicable regulations provide for a longer or shorter retention time for an individual purpose.

How and for what purpose does SAPOON process your data?

We process your data primarily for the purpose of concluding and executing contracts. We use them to verify identity, provide contractual services, calculate and collect costs, deliver ordered products, establish contact regarding service provision, and carry out other actions related to concluding and executing contracts in accordance with the law.

To whom does SAPOON forward my personal data?

SAPOON never sells users’ personal data to anyone, nor does it forward or exchange them with other legal or private entities, unless there is a legal obligation or explicit authority based on law (e.g., based on a court request), if we engage another entity as a so-called subcontractor to perform individual tasks (e.g., delivery of goods, printing and delivery of invoices, system maintenance, forwarding to debt collection agencies), or via assignment (cession), i.e., transfer of claims to third parties based on Article 80 of the Civil Obligations Act.

User Privacy Protection Policy

Introduction

SAPOON, Ulica Franje Horvata Kiša 3, Zagreb (hereinafter: SAPOON), pays special attention to personal data protection and privacy (hereinafter: privacy protection) of its users in accordance with applicable regulations and best European practice. Privacy protection of SAPOON users is an integral part of our services and products, and an important factor of the user experience.

Through the User Privacy Protection Policy of SAPOON (hereinafter: Policy), we want to provide our users with clear information about the processing and protection of their personal data in SAPOON and enable them to easily monitor and manage their personal data.

The Policy does not diminish the rights or establish obligations for users regarding personal data processing that users have based on applicable regulations and possible contractual provisions on personal data protection. The Policy is a unilateral legally binding act of SAPOON.

Scope of Application

The Policy applies to all personal data of SAPOON users that SAPOON collects, uses, or otherwise processes. Personal data is any data relating to a physical person whose identity is determined or can be determined, directly or indirectly (hereinafter: data or personal data). Data processing is any action performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, storage, use, transmission of personal data, and insight into personal data.

The Policy does not apply to anonymous data. Anonymous data is data modified in a way that it cannot be linked to a specific physical person or cannot be linked without disproportionate effort, and therefore, in accordance with applicable regulations, is not considered personal data.

The Policy applies to services and products of SAPOON that include personal data processing. SAPOON is the data controller regarding the personal data of its users within the meaning of applicable regulations on personal data protection. The Policy primarily relates to physical persons—buyers and suppliers of SAPOON (hereinafter: Users) and/or those interested in the foregoing (hereinafter: Potential Users).

Principles of Personal Data Processing

  • Trust: We want to be a reliable partner to Users in protecting their privacy and justify the trust they have placed in us. We also want to be completely transparent and clear regarding the processing of Users’ personal data. This is, among other things, the purpose of this Policy. Users can always contact us with a request to change personal data relating to them or with an expression of will about the purposes for which they want, or do not want, their data to be processed.

  • Lawfulness and Best Practice: In processing personal data, we act in accordance with the law, but at the same time, we strive to apply higher standards and best European practice.

  • Limited Purpose of Processing: We collect and process personal data only for a specific and lawful purpose and do not further process them in a way that is incompatible with the purpose for which they were collected, unless otherwise prescribed by law or based on user consent.

  • Data Minimization: We always use only those User data that are appropriate and necessary to achieve a specific lawful purpose, and no more data than that.

  • Processing in Anonymized Form: Whenever possible and justified, we use data in anonymized form. Data in anonymized form are considered primarily anonymous data.

  • Integrity and Confidentiality: We process personal data securely, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage (e.g., only authorized persons who need it to perform their work have access to Users’ personal data, and not other employees).

  • Personal Data Quality: We attach great importance to the quality of the data we process. Personal data we process must be accurate, complete, and up-to-date to ensure maximum protection of User data and prevent eventual misuses.
