Mgr. et Mgr. Tereza Martincová, attorney-at-law, processes personal data manually, in both paper and electronic forms, as a data controller, and handles them in accordance with applicable legal regulations, especially in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation or "GDPR").

Purpose of processing

The attorney processes data of her clients and business partners who are natural persons ("data subjects") exclusively for the purposes specified below, based on the legal titles established by the GDPR, and to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected.

  • Performance of the legal services contract, including its negotiation, and fulfillment of obligations stipulated by contracts with business partners;
  • Compliance with legal obligations, especially proper maintenance of the attorney's file, including email communication; client identification as per Act No. 85/1996 Coll., on Advocacy, as amended, and Act No. 253/2008 Coll., on Certain Measures Against Money Laundering, as amended;
  • Protection of legitimate interest (protection of the rights and legally protected interests of the attorney and her clients);
  • Sending commercial communications and offering services via email (sending commercial messages or newsletters based on Act No. 480/2004 Coll., on Certain Information Society Services and Amendments to Some Acts (Act on Certain Information Society Services), as amended).

  • Financial data – bank account number;
  • Data on the relationship of the data subject to the attorney;

Retention period of personal data

Personal data are processed for the duration of the contract with the data subject or for the duration of the legal relationship in connection with which the data subject's personal data are processed.
