9.1 Right of access to personal data Based on the right of access to information, you have specifically the right to: – request confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data; – obtain information on the processing of your personal data, including especially information on the purposes of processing; the categories of the personal data being processed; the recipients (to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed); the envisaged period of processing; the source of the personal data (if not obtained from you); the existence of automated decisionmaking, including profiling; and appropriate safeguards in case of a transfer of data outside the EU; – request a copy of the personal data being processed; the first copy will be provided to you free of charge.

9.2 Right to rectification of personal data If your personal data that we process are incorrect, inaccurate or have changed, you can request that they be rectified or supplemented.

9.3 Right to erasure of personal data (right to be forgotten) If the purpose for which your personal data were processed ceases to exist or if you withdraw the consent on the basis of which we processed your personal data, we will erase your personal data without undue delay. We will also erase your personal data if you exercise your right to object to the processing of personal data that we process on the basis of our legitimate interests, and we determine that the legitimate interests that would authorise us to continue such processing have already ceased to exist. If you have any doubts as to the erasure or believe that your personal data have not been erased, you may exercise your right to erasure. In some cases, we are not required to erase your personal data or any of them. These are cases where we continue to need your personal data for a proper performance of our legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

9.4 Right to restriction of personal data processing You have the right to claim that we restrict the processing of your personal data, especially if you contest the accuracy of the personal data being processed or if you have objected to personal data processing, for the period necessary for the relevant assessment.

9.5 Right to data portability If this is suitable for you in terms of facilitating communication with another service provider, you have the right to be provided with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to have these data transferred directly to another controller. It is necessary that the given processing be based on your consent or performance of a contract and, at the same time, that it takes place by automated means.

9.6 Right to withdraw consent to personal data processing If you have given us a consent to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. Once you have withdrawn the consent, we will stop processing any personal data in respect of which we have no legal ground for processing other than your consent.

9.7 Right to object and automated individual decision-making If you wish that we do not continue with the processing of your personal data that are processed by us on the basis of our legitimate interest, you may raise an objection to this effect. The objection should be substantiated, and it should be clear from its formulation why you believe that the processing in question unfavorably interferes with your privacy or protection of your rights and legally protected interests. We will then evaluate whether our legitimate interest outweighs the impact on your rights. This does not apply to data processing for direct marketing, which will be terminated automatically once we receive your objection. However, we may contact you even after you have unsubscribed from marketing communication, in order to maintain and exercise our own rights and obligations. We do not carry out automated decision-making.

9.8 Right to lodge a complaint The exercise of the above rights does not prejudice your right to lodge an application, complaint or inquiry with the competent supervisory authority. You may exercise this right especially if you believe that we are processing your personal data illegitimately or at variance with the generally binding legal regulations. The supervisory authority in the Czech Republic is the Office for Personal Data Protection, seated at Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7 (http://www.uoou.cz/).

10 PROCEDURE IN FILING A REQUEST CONCERNING PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

10.1 Who has the right to file a request? You may submit a request concerning personal data protection to us if you are a data subject, the data subject’s legal representative or guardian, or a person authorised by the data subject by means of a power of attorney. 12

10.2 How can a request be filed? You can file a request concerning your personal data: – by e-mail at privacy@grifinum.com; or – by presenting your inquiry in printed form at the address of Grifinum’s registered office at Zenklova 1545/39, Libeň, 180 00 Praha 8, Czech Republic

10.3 What has to be stated in a request? Your request must include at least your identification details, its subject (description of the substance of the request and what you claim) and your signature (if submitted in printed form). We record a majority of personal data under your telephone number or e-mail address. You should therefore state in your request to which telephone number and e-mail address your request pertains. You can then be asked to prove that you actually use the given telephone number and e-mail address. If you do not provide information necessary for a quick resolution of your request in the way you want it to be resolved, we will ask you to supplement the information. In that case, the time we have for the resolution of the request will be extended by the time you need to supplement it. Unless you ask for general information (e.g. concerning the types of personal data and the duration of their processing), your request will only be processed if we are able to verify your identity. Anonymous requests will be disregarded.

10.4 By when and how will your request be resolved? Once you have submitted your request, you will be notified that the request has been accepted for resolution. The initial notice may include references to publicly available parts of the documentation concerning personal data processing. The request will be dealt with based on a proper review of the relevant issues, and we will inform you how the request has been resolved in view of its contents. We will resolve your request without undue delay, but not later than within 30 days of the date of its proper delivery, or of the delivery of all the necessary information. If this is impossible in view of the nature of the request because of its complexity, time demands or technical difficulties or due to the number of requests filed, the above time limit for processing a request may be extended by up to sixty (60) days. We will inform you of any such extension and the reasons for doing so.

10.5 Is any fee charged for submitting a request? Requests are usually resolved free of charge. In some cases, we may charge a reasonable fee, e.g. when you request information in printed form, on a CD/DVD or on some other technical data carrier.

10.6 In what cases may a request be rejected? A request may be rejected in the following cases: – unreasonable repetition of the request (third and further requests for information or communication that are identical in terms of contents, filed over a period of six months of the first request); – the request is not justified; or 13 – the data subject fails to supplement the request in spite of being asked twice to do so or refuses to pay the fee charge by us, if no other agreement is reached.

A request may be considered unjustified in view of our other legal obligations (e.g. if you require erasure of certain personal data that we are required to process based on legal regulations). In that case, we will not satisfy the request. Furthermore, a request will also be rejected if we need to verify your identity and you do not allow us to do so. Similarly, a request cannot be satisfied if it does not contain all the information necessary for its resolution, although we have asked you to supplement it. In the refusal of your request, we will advise you about the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection or to apply for judicial remedy.
