You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the consent was withdrawn.

Where we rely on your consent for the use of analytics or marketing cookies, you may withdraw or modify your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie settings. For further information, please refer to our Cookie Notice.

VII. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA TO OTHER COUNTRIES

 

In the course of operating our website and carrying out the processing activities described in this Privacy Notice, personal data relating to individuals in the Republic of Serbia, the European Union and other countries may be made available to members of the SBG group, service providers and other recipients located in countries other than the country in which the relevant data was initially collected or processed.

This may include transfers of personal data outside the Republic of Serbia and, where the processing is subject to the GDPR, transfers of personal data outside the EU, including transfers to the Republic of Serbia.

Where SBG transfers personal data from the Republic of Serbia to another country, the transfer will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection.

Where the relevant processing or transfer is subject to the GDPR, including where personal data is transferred from the EU to a third country, SBG will also comply with the requirements of Chapter V of the GDPR. Depending on the circumstances, more than one data protection regime may apply to the same processing arrangement.

Before transferring personal data, we assess the destination country, the recipient, the nature of the personal data and the circumstances of the transfer. Where the destination country has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of protection under the applicable data protection legislation, we implement an appropriate transfer mechanism and additional safeguards where required.

Depending on the applicable law and the particular transfer, these safeguards may include: (i) an adequacy decision adopted under the applicable data protection legislation; (ii) the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, where the transfer is subject to the GDPR; or (iii) another transfer mechanism permitted under the applicable data protection legislation.

Where appropriate, we also apply supplementary technical, organizational and contractual measures intended to ensure that personal data receives a level of protection appropriate to the risks of the transfer.

You may contact us using the details provided in this Privacy Notice to obtain further information about the international transfers relevant to your personal data and the safeguards applied, including information on how to obtain a copy of the relevant safeguards.

 

VIII. HOW LONG WE RETAIN PERSONAL DATA

 

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

Where we process your personal data for the performance of a contract, we retain such data for the duration of the contractual relationship and thereafter for the period prescribed by the applicable accounting, tax and other legal requirements.

Personal data processed on the basis of your consent will no longer be processed for the relevant purpose following the withdrawal of your consent, unless another legal basis for the processing applies. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.

Personal data relating to enquiries submitted through our website or by other communication channels is retained for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your request, unless a longer retention period is required for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Personal data processed through cookies and similar technologies is retained for the periods specified in our Cookie Notice.

Where personal data is processed for the purpose of protecting our legal rights, preventing misuse or ensuring the security of our website, it may be retained for as long as necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.

 

IX. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized access, or any other form of unlawful processing.

These measures include, where appropriate, encryption and pseudonymization, access controls, secure infrastructure, and other security measures designed to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data.

While we continuously review and improve our security practices, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, although we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

 

X. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Below you will find the rights available to you, insofar as they are applicable to the specific processing activity.

Right of Access

Right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, where that is the case, to access such data and receive additional information about the processing.

Right to Rectification

Right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data and the completion of incomplete personal data.

Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

Right to request the erasure of your personal data in the circumstances provided for by applicable law. Please note that this right is not absolute and may be subject to certain legal exceptions.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in the circumstances provided for by applicable law.

Right to Data Portability

Right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have that data transmitted directly to another controller, where the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means.

Right to Object

 

Right to object to the processing of your personal data where the processing is based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Where required by applicable law, we will cease such processing unless we demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

We do not carry out automated decision-making, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you.

You may submit a request to exercise your rights via email at dpo@silverbellgroup.com, in person at our premises, and/or by mail to the address of our registered seat.

We will respond to your request without undue delay and within the period prescribed by the applicable data protection legislation. Where the Serbian Law on Personal Data Protection applies, we will respond no later than 30 days from receipt of the request. This period may be extended by a further 60 days where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. Where the GDPR applies, we will respond no later than one month from receipt of the request. This period may be extended by a further two months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. We will inform you of any extension and the reasons for it within the initial 30-day or one-month period, as applicable. The exercise of your rights is generally free of charge.

At the same time, you have the right to lodge a complaint at any time with the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia or with a Supervisory Authority within the European Union, if you believe that the processing of your Personal Data is not carried out in accordance with the applicable Law.

The contact details of the Serbian Commissioner are: Bulevar kralja Aleksandra no. 15, Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, Email: office@poverenik.rs, Telephone: +381 11 3408 900

Contact details of all competent data protection authorities within the European Union are available at the following website: https://www.edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en

The competent data protection authority in the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), whose contact details are available at: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/

Lodging a complaint with the Commissioner or with a competent data protection authority does not affect your right to seek protection of your rights through appropriate judicial or administrative proceedings.
