For example, when we receive your contact information indirectly (via a recommendation) or when you send us your CV and supporting documentation containing your contact data, we process it in order to establish initial contact (communication) with you. In that case, the legal ground for the processing of your personal data is our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Regulation).

Legitimate interest as the legal ground for the processing of your personal data

MEDILAB ONE uses legitimate interest as the legal ground for certain processing of your personal data. In the previous sections of this General Notice, we state for which categories of data subjects and personal data and for which purposes we use legitimate interest as legal grounds.

Prior to the processing of your personal data the legal grounds for which is our legitimate interest, we take into account your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as your reasonable expectations about the processing of personal data in our mutual relationship.

In order to prove the existence of our legitimate interest, we conduct the legitimate interest assessment separately for each personal data processing where legitimate interest is the legal ground of processing. The legitimate interest assessment consists of three parts: purpose test, necessity test and balance test, and all parts must have a positive outcome in order to be able to use a legitimate interest as the legal ground for the processing of personal data.

Therefore, our legitimate interest may be different, depending on the business process, i.e. the personal data processing.

If you wish to inspect the conducted legitimate interest assessment, which relates to the processing of your personal data, you can contact us at our contacts listed in point one ("About us") of this General Notice.

Profiling and automated decision-making

Our current business processes in which your personal data is processed do not include automated decision-making based on your personal data.

However, based on your personal data as a user of the products we represent or distribute, for the processing of which you have given us consent, we create your profiles.

Based on special categories of your personal data, in our software, we create your profiles in order to adapt the content of our marketing activities to your needs as users of our products.

Transfer of your personal data to third countries or international organizations

If in the future our daily business operations involve the transfer of your personal data to third countries or international organizations, we will inform you in a timely manner and in advance of all details of such transfer (including to which third countries and international organizations the data is transferred) and relevant safeguards we use.

In the event of the transfer of your personal data to third countries or international organizations, our internal procedures provide a two-step approach to allow this transfer. The first step consists of identifying the legal grounds of the transfer (including your consent if there is no other relevant legal ground), while in the second step we provide additional measures to protect the transfer, all in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V of the General Regulation.

Protection of your personal data

When determining the means and methods of processing and during the processing itself, MEDILAB ONE implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, taking into account the latest achievements, implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing.

All our business processes that include the processing of personal data have undergone a risk analysis and, if necessary, the data protection impact assessment, thus assessing the risk and seriousness for your rights and freedoms as a data subject in relation to the processing of your personal data.

The organizational measures we apply are included in and described in our internal procedures, regulations, instructions, reports and the like. The technical measures we apply include various physical safeguards and IT measures.

All our technical and organizational measures are continuously reviewed and improved to ensure that they are appropriate and up-to-date.

Detailed storage periods of your personal data are defined by our internal act. For more information on storage periods of your personal data, you can contact us at our contacts listed in point one ("About us") of this General Notice.

When the applicable regulations define the period during which we are obliged to store your personal data, we store them in the period provided by the applicable regulations and delete them in an additional period of 3 (three) months.

When we have signed a contract with you and there is no period defined by applicable regulations during which we are obliged to store your personal data, we store them for the entire duration of our contractual relationship and delete them within an additional period of 3 (three) months from the date of termination of the contractual relationship.

When we process your personal data on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest, we store them for the entire period of existence of our legitimate interest and delete them within an additional period of 3 (three) months from the termination of existence of our legitimate interest. The period of existence of our legitimate interest is determined individually in relation to each personal data processing for which the legitimate interest is the legal ground.

When we process your personal data based on your consent, we store them until you withdraw your consent. When you withdraw your consent, we delete your personal data as soon as possible. If you have given us your consent for a certain period, at the end of this period, we will delete your personal data as soon as possible.

We store certain business documentation that may contain some of your personal data (for example, contracts, annexes, statements, certificates, etc.) permanently as part of our business documentation or for a longer period as proof of the existence and termination of our relationship, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

In our internal rules, we have defined the periods during which we review the defined periods of storage of your personal data, all in order for the storage to be limited, i.e. in accordance with possible changes in the purpose of processing your personal data.

After the expiration of the storage period of your personal data, we delete or anonymize them. Also, under certain conditions, as stated under the next point ("Your rights"), you have the right to obtain the deletion of your personal data (read more on page 20 of this General Notice).

Upon the expiration of the storage period of your personal data we have publicly disclosed, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, we will take reasonable steps to delete your publicly disclosed personal data. In doing so, we are not responsible for your publicly disclosed personal data on public sources that we do not manage.

Upon the expiration of the storage period of your personal data processed by the recipients at our request and based on a special contract on the personal data processing, we will notify them of the expiration of the storage period and request the deletion of your personal data.
