FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF DATA PROCESSING

1. ZEITGEIST processes the personal data of clients in the following scope:

– Data for identification – personal data which allow for the unique and unmistakable identification of the client (first and last name, academic titles), place of permanent residence, number of the client’s ID, birth identification number and signature; his includes all personal data through which the client as data subject may uniquely and unmistakably be identified.

– Contact data – personal data which facilitates contact with the client (i.e., in particular, the contact address, phone and fax number, e-mail address, etc. given by the client). This data makes it possible to establish contact with the client.

– Data originating from external sources – i.e., in particular, publicly accessible registers such as the Commercial Register, Insolvency Register, etc.

– Recorded correspondence with clients (including email communication).

– Information about concluded contract

– Information needed for bookkeeping

The visual recordings from the cameras are recorded using servers belonging to ZEITGEIST and accessible only to designated workers of ZEITGEIST.

2. Legal grounds for the processing of personal data ZEITGEIST will only ever gather and handle personal data in the extent necessary and for the relevant purpose; personal data is only ever processed so as to attain the designated purpose. The provision of personal data by clients is always voluntary; if data was made available for processing on the basis of a consent notice, the client may demand that the processed data be deleted (see further below). In certain cases, e.g. providing accommodation, ZEITGEIST may need the client’s personal data already at the time of the application/reservation of the accommodation. This is because without this data ZEITGEIST would not be able to provide the services requested by the client due to ZEITGEIST’s duties under the law and protection of ZEITGEIST’s legitimate interests. ZEITGEIST is entitled to process personal data of clients on basis of the following legal grounds:

– Consent notice – consent is given for one or several specific purposes. The notice of consent with the data processing by ZEITGEIST, freely given by the data subject, shall list which specific personal data will be processed by ZEITGEIST based on consent notice by data subjects (clients).

– Performance of contract – ZEITGEIST needs the personal data of the client in order to conclude the agreement with them and to subsequently perform under the same; this legal ground for data processing may regularly be invoked also during the pre-contractual stage.

– Compliance with the law – ZEITGEIST needs the personal data of the client in order to fulfill its statutory duties and obligations as a data controller.

– Legitimate interest – The processing of personal data is necessary to protect ZEITGEIST ’s legitimate interests, with the exception of those cases in which the client’s interests or their fundamental rights and basic freedoms take precedence over the interests of ZEITGEIST.

3. ZEITGEIST processes the personal data of clients for the following purposes:

– Performance of contract – Personal data processing is indispensable to properly exercise the rights and discharge the obligations which arise for ZEITGEIST from the contractual relationship with the client (e.g. preparing the agreement, or monitoring the proper provision of services under the agreement). ZEITGEIST will process personal data for this purpose for the duration of the contractual relationship and for the duration of the limitation period relating to rights and obligations arising from the contract and for the duration of possible archiving.

– Legitimate interests of ZEITGEIST – The personal data processing is indispensable for this purpose (e.g.: monitoring and preventing fraud; physical protection of the premises and property of ZEITGEIST; internal reporting; resolution of conflicts with the client, protection and exercise of ZEITGEIST ‘s rights; direct marketing; marketing activities, statistical purposes), in the same scope as for the purpose of the performance of contracts. ZEITGEIST will process personal data for this purpose for the duration of the contractual relationship and until the expiry of all relevant periods of limitation related to the exercise of rights and discharge of obligations within that relationship.

– Observance of legal duties – The processing of personal data for this purpose is indispensable because an act of law or other generally binding statutory provision requires such processing (e.g. to to observe the duty of due care, or to fulfill notification duty vis-a-vis public authorities, or to fulfill obligations in connection with the enforcement of public-law decisions, or to fulfill identification and KYC duties or other duties in connection with the prevention of money laundering if ZEITGEIST has such duties, or to fulfill archiving duties). ZEITGEIST will process personal data for this purpose within the scope prescribed by law in each individual case. In this respect, ZEITGEIST may furnish and store copies of documents and other materials (including the client’s ID, if the client specifically consented to have their ID photocopied), in each case in accordance with the relevant agreement and its annexes, and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. ZEITGEIST will process personal data for this purpose for as long as required under the applicable provisions of statutory law.
