MoistureGuard, s.r.o., IČO 079 32 197, with registered office at Hradešínská 1768/22, Vinohrady, 101 00 Prague 10, registered in the Commercial Register kept in Prague, file number C 310078, kept at the Municipal Court in Prague (hereinafter also referred to as "MoistureGuard" or "the Administrator"), in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulation"), hereby provides its customers and other affected personal data subjects (such as. representatives or contact persons of its customers, users of its services, persons interested in its services and goods, visitors to its website, as well as suppliers and other business partners), information on the principles that it, as a personal data controller under generally binding data protection legislation, maintains in the processing of personal data of natural persons that occurs in the operation of its plant and related activities (hereinafter referred to as the "Principles").
Terms that are not expressly defined in this Policy or in other documents referred to in this Policy shall have the meaning given to them in the Regulation.
- Communication with MoistureGuard regarding data protection
- MoistureGuard can be contacted on data protection matters through the appointed data protection officer, either
- in writing - by sending a message to MoistureGuard or to the e-mail address ____________
- in person - by prior arrangement at the MoistureGuard headquarters.
- Alternatively, you can use the contact details listed on the MoistureGuard website.
- Purposes of the processing of personal data
- MoistureGuard always processes personal data on the basis of a predetermined legitimate purpose that is clear to the data subjects.
- For most purposes, it is possible to process personal data directly on the basis of a contract, MoistureGuard's legitimate interest or on the basis of law, thus without the need to obtain the data subject's consent, for others only on the basis of consent.
- MoistureGuard processes personal data for the purposes of:
- the performance of contracts with its contractual partners,
- fulfilling their legal obligations,
- ensuring the protection of its rights and legally protected interests,
- direct marketing,
- advertising and marketing.
- Legal basis for the processing of personal data
- The vast majority of the processing of personal data will be carried out by MoistureGuard on this legal basis:
- the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of measures taken prior to the conclusion of the contract at the request of the data subject,
- the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which MoistureGuard is subject and which arises from a legal regulation,
- processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of MoistureGuard or a third party.
- In these cases, the data subject's consent is not required for processing.
- In exceptional cases, processing may be carried out on the basis of the data subject's consent. MoistureGuard shall be able to provide evidence of such consent at any time. The data subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time.
- MoistureGuard is guided by the principle of lawfulness under the Regulation when processing personal data, so that if it processes personal data on the basis of a legal title other than the above, it will be a title arising from the legislation applicable to the controller.
- In the case of the processing of personal data for the purposes of the legitimate interests of MoistureGuard or a third party, this will generally be one of these interests:
- maintaining or deepening good relations with customers or business partners, including addressing their requests, wishes or complaints,
- direct marketing,
- Protecting MoistureGuard's premises and employees from security risks,
- keeping records of debtors, collecting debts and dealing with other legal agendas related to the operation of the MoistureGuard plant.
- MoistureGuard sends commercial communications in electronic form in accordance with the relevant provisions of Act No. 480/2004 Coll., on certain information society services, as amended, and principally in the direct marketing mode. For these reasons, it is entitled to do so without the data subject's consent, but only until the data subject's consent is expressed. MoistureGuard shall provide the data subject with a clear and prominent opportunity in each commercial communication to simply and free of charge refuse the use of his or her electronic contact for further commercial communications.
- Categories of personal data processed
- For individual processing purposes, MoistureGuard processes in particular the following categories of personal data or some of them:
- identification data,
- address details, including social networking addresses,
- contact details and data necessary for communication (e.g. passwords for communication),
- data on the services you receive, their use and payment behaviour, or goods purchased,
- the operational data and specifications of the sensors or other equipment associated with the use of MoistureGuard services and the data delivered from the equipment as part of the use of MoistureGuard services (including location data),
- specifications of the objects in which the sensors are placed,
- records related to MoistureGuard's plant operations, including telephone calls, camera footage, etc.
- records related to the setup, use or provision of services, including relevant documentation, recordings of telephone calls,
- sensor data records (especially humidity, CO2 concentration, etc.);
- data related to the use of the MoistureGuard website,
- data processed on the basis of the data subject's consent.2. The scope of the data processed always depends on the purpose of the processing, but is always governed by the data minimisation principle of the Regulation.

- All recipients shall be responsibly selected on the basis of the guarantees they provide for data security through the technical and organisational measures they have adopted.
