Purposes of personal data processing

The controller FerroČrtalič d.o.o., Sela pri Dolenjskih Toplicah 47, 8350 Dolenjske Toplice, will use the data obtained from users for the following purposes:

  • communication in connection with orders, purchases, requests for service repairs, inquiries or (pre-)contractual relationships;

When sending e-mails, the controller tracks which e-mails are opened and which e-mail links are clicked by an individual user. The controller also tracks views and promotions on its website. For a better and more targeted presentation of offers and customization of messages or communications, the controller automatically processes, analyzes and profiles the recorded data and evaluates the users' activity and engagement metrics.

Retention period

We retain an individual's personal data indefinitely or until the relevant individual withdraws their consent to the retention and processing of their personal data. Upon withdrawal of an individual's consent, their personal data is promptly, effectively and permanently deleted.

Should the above purposes for which we retain and process personal data cease to exist in our company, all databases whose purpose has ceased will be promptly, efficiently and permanently deleted.

Personal data protection

The controller will protect the obtained data in accordance with the applicable personal data protection laws and in line with its internal policies adopted on the basis of the law. It will provide proper organizational and technical security measures. Under no circumstances will the controller pass on or disclose the obtained data to third parties. The company FerroČrtalič d.o.o. has put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures for the protection of personal data.

User rights

In accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), at the user's request, the controller must:

  • Confirm whether or not data relating to them is processed and give them access to the personal data relating to them.
  • Provide a copy of personal data relating to them.
  • Provide the option of correcting or amending their personal data.
  • Provide the option of partial or complete deletion of personal data.
  • Provide the option of transferring personal data to another provider of related services.
  • Provide the option of partial or complete withdrawal of consent to the processing of personal data.

The controller will fulfill a user's request to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data and make the necessary system-wide arrangements within no more than 15 days.

On suspicion that their personal data protection rights might have been violated by the controller in any way, any individual may file a complaint with the supervisory body (the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia) at any time.

Each user has the option to easily (with a single click) unsubscribe from receiving e-mails by clicking on the link in the footer of the received e-mail, by sending an e-mail to unsubscribe to marketing@ferrocrtalic.com or by replying to a specific e-mail message received.

Contractual processors and retention area

The controller also forwards the collected personal data to its contractual processors, who may process the data exclusively within the framework of the controller's instructions and authorizations and who are obligated – by a written agreement concluded with the controller – to ensure an appropriate level of personal data protection, specifically within its CRM, e-mail marketing and marketing automation systems. The provider keeps personal data files within the EU and does not transfer them to third countries.

The controller may share personal data with digital advertising platforms (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and may use their cookies which allow the controller to create more accurate segments, display targeted ads and perform remarketing activities. By doing so, the user is shown more relevant ads from the controller on these platforms. This may involve the transfer of data to a contractual processor outside the EU.
