Processing of personal data of children and minors
In the case of processing personal data of persons under the age of 15, the consent of their legal guardian is required. Legal basis for the processing of personal data The legal basis for the processing is your consent and the fact that your personal data is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes mentioned above and the Controller’s legitimate interests. Personal data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation – Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 – (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”). The period during which your personal data will be processed: The Controller will process your personal data in the case of contests for the duration of the contest and for 3 months after the contest ends; in connection with direct marketing purposes, for 6 months after the end of other events, for a period of 5 years from the opening of an email newsletter sent by the Controller, visiting an event organized by the Controller, or visiting the Controller’s website, unless you revoke this consent.
Withdrawal of consent to the processing of personal data
You may withdraw your voluntarily granted consent to the processing of personal data at any time free of charge by sending an email to: techsupport@avanixgroup.com. You may also withdraw your consent directly from any commercial communication sent to you via email.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent given prior to its withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent also does not affect the processing of personal data that the Controller processes on a legal basis other than consent. Persons with access to your personal data The Controller, its employees, and, where applicable, third parties—processors who provide appropriate safeguards and whose processing meets all GDPR requirements—will have access to your personal data, and who will sufficiently protect your rights and your personal data. These persons include, in particular, organizers of contests and events, legal and marketing advisors, and website administrators. However, these persons will have access to this data only for as long as strictly necessary and to the extent strictly necessary, provided it is necessary for the provision of services and compliance with legal requirements.
Processing of log files
As part of access to its website, the Controller processes the evaluation of website traffic and the website’s objectives using Google Analytics evaluation tools provided by Google. The Controller evaluates website traffic to protect its legitimate interests in ensuring the security of the website and improving its functionality. The processing of log files, which may (but need not) include personal data of the website visitor, includes the IP address, date and time of access, any visitor query, HTTP response code, data transferred, and information about the browser and operating system of the website visitor’s computer.
Use of Cookies and Website Analysis
In order to improve the functionality of its website, evaluate its traffic, and optimize marketing activities, the Administrator uses cookies on its website. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on the computer used to view the website via the browser. Cookies do not serve to identify website users personally, nor do they enable such identification. A list of all cookies collected by the Administrator on its website is available here. If a website visitor does not consent to the collection of cookies, they can prevent their collection by changing their browser settings.
Instructions for disabling and deleting cookies can be found in the help section of the respective browser.
Google Analytics and Google AdWords
To analyze the website using cookies, the Administrator uses the Google Analytics service, developed and operated by Google Inc., headquartered at Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View,
CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Analysis using Google Analytics occurs when information about website usage generated through collected cookies is transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and analyzed there. Due to the IP anonymization feature enabled on the Administrator’s website, Google truncates the IP address within one of the EU member states or the European Economic Area before the data is transmitted to a Google server in the United States.
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the U.S. and truncated (anonymized) there.
Google will not associate the transferred data, including the truncated IP address, with other data. Google’s privacy policy is available here. Website visitors can prevent the collection and analysis of cookies via Google Analytics by changing their browser settings as described above, as well as by:
• clicking on the relevant link, which will place an opt-out cookie on the computer to prevent future collection of visit data on the website;
• installing the relevant browser plugin. This plugin works only in the specific browser on the specific computer and must not be deactivated or deleted after installation to maintain the deactivation of the Google Analytics service.
As part of the Google Analytics service, the Administrator also uses related advertising features provided by Google, such as reports on impressions in the Google Display Network, enhanced reporting of anonymous demographic data (e.g., age, gender, interests), or the display of ads in the Display Network based on viewed products (so-called remarketing), including the Google AdWords service used to personalize ads and improve ad targeting and so-called remarketing. This allows the Administrator to offer visitors to its website advertising content that is as interesting to them as possible. Visitors to the Administrator’s website can disable or adjust ad personalization through their Google account using the available link.
Use of social plugins
The Administrator’s website also contains third-party social plugins that allow website visitors to share content with their friends and other contacts. These include:
• the Facebook plugin, which is managed by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
• the YouTube plugin, which is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a subsidiary of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043;
• the Instagram plugin, which is operated by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
Please note that these social plugins are not managed by the Controller, who is therefore not responsible for any processing of personal data by the aforementioned operators (controllers) of these plugins or the websites to which they link, nor for their functionality or any damages that may be caused by them.

You may contact the Controller via email at: techsupport@avanixgroup.com or in writing at Sazovická 492/3, 155 21 – Prague. The Controller is entitled to request proof of your identity in order to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing your personal data.

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if the Controller processes it for direct marketing purposes. The objection must be submitted to the Controller. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the Controller will no longer process your personal data for that purpose unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You may at any time file a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data or the Controller’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the GDPR with the supervisory authority.

Obligation to provide personal data.
Consequences of not providing personal data You provide your personal data entirely voluntarily. You are under no obligation to provide it. If you do not provide your personal data, you will not face any penalties.

It is, however, entirely up to you whether you wish to receive these communications or not.
