3. What data are we processing, for what purpose and on which legal basis

As a rule, the Skills Development and Employment Centers collect and process your data only when you provide it directly and voluntarily. If you choose to contact us (either by filling in the contact form via our website or by telephone) you provide your explicit consent to collect and process your personal data for the purposes listed below.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without giving any specific clarification by communicating a written statement to our Company. In this case, the lawfulness of the processing which took place up to the time of such revocation, shall not be affected.

The reason (legal basis and purpose) for which we collect your IP address and keep it in log files is twofold: first, our legitimate interest in processing these data, in order to ensure the security of networks, information and services from accidental events or illegal or malicious acts which compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted data (eg, control of “denial of service attacks”); And second, our legal obligation to provide a safer environment for the processing of your personal data.

This processing is permissible as it does not pose a serious risk to your rights and freedoms, while it is explicitly allowed under the Regulation’s provisions to rely on our legitimate interest.
