We would like to inform you about what personal data VALAMAR RIVIERA collects as the processing manager, for what purpose, how we protect the data and what your rights are.

GENERAL SECTION

PROCESSING MANAGER AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

as the processing manager, VALAMAR RIVIERA, is committed to protecting your personal data. The collection and storage of data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereinafter: Regulation), of the Law on the application of the General regulation of data protection (NN 42/2018) and other regulations governing the subject area, which are applied in the Republic of Croatia.

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This Policy applies to any processing of personal data performed by VALAMAR RIVIERA as the processing manager, unless another policy or other VALAMAR RIVIERA document prescribes otherwise for a particular processing. In certain cases, VALAMAR RIVIERA also acts as the processing manager for respondents who are also respondents of companies with which VALAMAR RIVIERA has concluded entrepreneurial contracts on the basis of which it manages the business within its powers under these contracts.

This Policy is divided into two parts: the General Section and the Specific section. The basic principles of personal data processing, contact details of personal data protection officials and other provisions specified in the General Section of this Policy are applied without exception to any personal data processing regardless of whether such processing is specifically processed in the Specific Section of this Policy or not. The Specific Section of the Policy deals, in more detail, with specific cases of data processing which represent the majority of all processing by VALAMAR RIVIERA.

All requests not related to personal data protection, which are delivered to the address of the data protection official, e.g. offers of job candidates, booking inquiries in VALAMAR RIVIERA properties, etc. will be forwarded directly to the relevant departments within VALAMAR RIVIERA, without special response to the sender by the data protection official.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

VALAMAR RIVIERA has recognized the principles of data processing as basic values that must be respected throughout the cycle of personal data processing, from their collection to their destruction or other cessation of processing. VALAMAR RIVIERA processes data:
Lawfully – by processing data only if allowed by law and within the limits prescribed by law.
Fairly – by taking into account the specifics of each relationship, applying all appropriate measures to protect personal information and privacy in general and not impeding data subjects in exercising their rights.
Transparently – by informing data subjects about the processing of personal data. From the start of the data collection process, when data subjects are informed about all aspects of data processing, until its termination, data subjects are provided easy and fast access to their own data, which includes the possibility of accessing and obtaining a copy in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation. Certain information may be restricted only when required by law or when necessary for the protection of third parties.
Purpose limitation – by processing personal data for the purposes they were collected for and for other purposes only if the conditions of the Regulation are met. Data may be processed for matching purposes only taking into account (a) any link between the purposes of the collection of personal data and the purposes of the intended continuation of the processing; (b) the context in which the personal data was collected, in particular concerning the relationship between the data subjects and VALAMAR RIVIERA; (c) the nature of the personal data, in particular whether special categories of personal data are processed in accordance with Article 9. Regulations or personal data relating to criminal convictions and criminal offenses in accordance with Article 10. Regulations; (d) the possible consequences of the intended continuation of processing for the data subjects; and (e) the existence of appropriate protection measures.
Storage limitation – by storing data in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the initial purposes, and longer only if permitted by the Regulation.
Data minimization – by processing data if it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. Particular attention is given to not collecting data for which there is no justifiable reason for processing.
Accuracy – by keeping data accurate and up-to-date, and erasing inaccurate data in the scope of possibility.
Integrity and Confidentiality – by using appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure appropriate personal data protection, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. Relevant measures are applied taking into account the risk of each type of data processing.

LEGALITY OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

In order to respect the lawfulness of processing personal data, VALAMAR RIVIERA processes personal data only if and to the extent that at least one of the following is met:

Processing is necessary for the performance of the contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take action at the request of the data subject prior to the conclusion of the contract; this is the most common purpose of data processing with an existing contractual relationship or a contractual relationship in negotiations as its basis.
Processing is necessary to comply with the legal obligations of the processing manager. As a legal entity, VALAMAR RIVIERA has a number of obligations prescribed by various regulations. This obligation includes the collection and often the submission of data to public authorities. For example, the processing of personal data of shareholders who apply for the General Assembly, the processing of personal data of participants at meetings held at the premises of VALAMAR RIVIERA in accordance with anti-pandemic measures and the like.
Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the processing manager or a third party, except where those interests are stronger than the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects requiring the protection of personal data, taking into account reasonable expectations of data subjects based on their relationship with the processing manager, especially if the data subject is a child. In applying this legal basis, VALAMAR RIVIERA assesses that the processing is appropriate to business needs, that it is the least invasive as possible and that the interests of the data subjects do not exceed the legitimate interests of VALAMAR RIVIERA or a third party. Examples of such processing are processing for administrative purposes, the purposes of maintaining computer network security, direct marketing, and improving our business. The data subject always has the right to object to such processing in these situations.
Processing is necessary to protect key interests of the data subject or other natural person. The right to personal data protection is not an absolute right and VALAMAR RIVIERA equates it with other fundamental rights in accordance with the principle of proportionality. VALAMAR RIVIERA acknowledges the possibility that in some situations it is necessary to process personal data in order to protect the key interests of the data subjects or other natural persons.
The data subject has consented to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes. When processing personal data on the basis of consent, VALAMAR RIVIERA provides that these are situations in which there are no, formal or informal, consequences for giving, refusing or denying consent. When processing is based on consent, the data subject may withdraw consent at any time without negative consequences. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In certain exceptional situations, VALAMAR RIVIERA may process data that would not be processed in regular situations, for example data collection based on the recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health in case of epidemics, etc.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED

Specific categories of personal data: specific categories of personal data shall be processed only if the conditions set out in Article 9 of the Regulation are met. For example, VALAMAR RIVIERA processes employee data that fall into specific categories of personal data, such as union membership data (for example, when exercising special rights under relevant regulations), religious or philosophical beliefs (for example, when exercising the right to additional non-working days for religious holidays, if the individual has voluntarily disclosed such data for the stated purpose), or health related data (for example according to special regulations on occupational safety or keeping records of workers or when special health certificates are required for certain jobs, etc.

Data on criminal convictions and criminal offenses: when there is a legal authority to do so, VALAMAR RIVIERA also processes personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses, such as certificates of impunity for workers.

Personal data that do not fall the previous two groups: such personal data make up the largest part of the processed data, and these are most often identification and contact data such as name and surname, OIB, data generated by movement in rooms under video surveillance.

Most of the personal data that VALAMAR RIVIERA collects is provided by the data subjects themselves and we ask that you do not provide sensitive information (such as race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, etc.) when this is not necessary. If you nevertheless provide sensitive information for any reason, you hereby give your express consent to the collection and use of such information in the ways described in these Policy or in the manner described at the time of disclosure of that information.

DATA DELIVERY TO THIRD ENTITIES

VALAMAR RIVIERA shares personal information with others only when permitted.

VALAMAR RIVIERA is obliged by law to provide data to third parties. For example, delivering guest data via the eVisitor system, delivering employee data to the competent institutions to the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute, to the Croatian Health Insurance Institute, the Tax Administration and the Central Register of Insured Persons and pension companies. In certain cases, VALAMAR RIVIERA is obliged to submit or make available employment data to the Croatian Employment Service, for example to include workers in active employment policy measures, the competent police stations or the ministry responsible for internal affairs, for example in the case of senior government officials staying in VALAMAR RIVIERA’s properties, as well as for the issuance of work permits, the ministry responsible for tourism in the case of employing scholarship holders, the ministry responsible for the economy and entrepreneurship when it comes to the use of investment aid, insurance companies, banks and other cases required by law.

Also, certain employee data is sent to banks or pension funds as part of salary payments, and data can also be sent to creditors in accordance with enforcement regulations. Sometimes data is sent according to contractual obligations, for example with students in practice, data is exchanged with schools, colleges.

Certain personal data is also provided to business entities for the purpose of providing specific services such as the workers’ health examinations (contracted occupational medicine), further, to institutions that organize legally mandatory training (occupational safety, hygiene, toxicology) or audit companies when conducting mandatory audits, notaries when certifying, the Financial Agency for the purpose of obtaining business certificates, public procurement payers when VALAMAR RIVIERA applies for public procurement tenders, further for the purposes of awarding and using official cards, official mobile devices or for the purchase of fuel.

It is possible to deliver data to business entities, processors, who process the data on behalf of VALAMAR RIVIERA, which acts as the processing manager. Most often, these are VALAMAR RIVIERA’s business associates who provide IT services, who store them in their databases or have the possibility of accessing personal data until the end of processing. A detailed contract is concluded with such subjects regarding their powers and obligations in the processing of personal data, in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation.

In certain situations, it is possible for external entities and VALAMAR RIVIERA to jointly determine the purposes and methods of personal data processing, in which case these external partners and VALAMAR RIVIERA are joint processing managers. In these relations, the joint processing managers shall transparently determine their responsibilities for complying with the obligations under the Regulation, in particular with regard to the exercise of data subjects’ rights and their duties to respect the transparency of processing, unless responsibilities are established by law.

A special case of data delivery to third parties is the fact that VALAMAR RIVIERA has concluded entrepreneurial contracts with companies on the basis of which it manages the tourism section of business. This means that in certain cases, VALAMAR RIVIERA’s guests can also receive offers from VALAMAR RIVIERA that contain information about other hotels and properties managed by VALAMAR RIVIERA. Also, based on entrepreneurial contracts, VALAMAR RIVIERA has certain rights and obligations related to human resources. In these cases, VALAMAR RIVIERA has the right to process data subjects’ personal data of these companies. All principles from these Policy also apply to the data subjects of these companies in the segment in which VALAMAR RIVIERA is included as the processing manager, however, these companies are also responsible as the processing managers of their data processing.

If data is transferred to third countries as part of data processing, VALAMAR RIVIERA ensures compliance with high protection standards in order to comply with the highest possible standard of personal data protection, in accordance with the strict requirements of the Regulation. Hence, when international transfers of personal data are in use, VALAMAR RIVIERA will inform the data subjects about the intention to disclose personal data to a third country or international organization and about the existence or non-existence of a European Commission’s decision on adequacy. Any transfer of personal data to third countries will be carried out in accordance with Chapter V of the Regulation.
