Personal Data Processing Policy

Effective from 18 June 2026

1. Controller

The controller of personal data is SauberEko s.r.o., registered office Ivana Krasku 25/9, 972 71 Nováky, Slovakia, Company ID 57 356 050, registered in the Commercial Register of the District Court Trenčín, section Sro, insert No. 57060/R. Contact: info@saubereko.eu, +421 908 190 189. SauberEko s.r.o. is the licensed administrator of the SauberEko® brand.

2. What data we process

When you fill in the contact form we process your name, e-mail address, optionally a company name and the content of your message. Within the certification procedure and the portal we also process: business name / name, Company ID (IČO), Tax ID / VAT ID, address or registered seat, phone, specialisation and professional data, uploaded documents and certificates, billing and payment data and electronic signature. The legal basis is the performance of a contract and steps prior to entering into it (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), compliance with legal obligations for invoicing (point c) and, for publishing references/logo, your consent (point a). We retain this data for the duration of the certification relationship and no more than 5 years after its end, or longer if required by law. During operation of the saubereko.eu website, technically necessary data (e.g. IP address, logs) are processed for security and functionality; the website uses no third-party advertising or tracking scripts.

3. Purpose and legal basis

We process the data to handle your enquiry and to communicate with you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to the enquiry and taking steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR), or your consent.

4. Retention period

We retain personal data only for the period necessary to handle the enquiry, or as required by law. Once the purpose is fulfilled, the data is deleted.

5. Recipients

Data may be processed by the hosting/IT infrastructure provider as a processor, solely to ensure the operation of the website. We do not share data with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Cookies and analytics

The website does not use third-party advertising or tracking scripts. Only technically necessary elements for the functioning of the site are used.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Slovak Data Protection Authority (www.dataprotection.gov.sk).

Payments and invoicing

Card payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland, as an independent payment service provider. You enter card details directly with Stripe; SauberEko s. r. o. does not store them — we only keep name, e-mail, amount, date and payment status. For bank transfers we process bank statement data (name, IBAN, amount, variable symbol). Invoices and accounting records must be kept for 10 years (Slovak Accounting Act No. 431/2002, § 35) and cannot be deleted even when the account is closed.

Processors and data transfers

Data is processed on our behalf by our hosting and database provider, the e-mail delivery provider Resend (USA) and document storage. Transfers outside the EU rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. Public data of certified persons (name, certificate number, skills) is published in the Hall of Fame based on contract and your consent.

Account deletion and complaints

You can close your account at any time in the portal or by e-mail to info@saubereko.eu — we delete the application, uploaded files, signed documents (except accounting records) and arrange removal of the Hall of Fame entry. Complaints are handled within 30 days at info@saubereko.eu. Consumers may turn to an alternative dispute resolution body under Act No. 391/2015 (e.g. Slovak Trade Inspection, www.soi.sk). Supervisory authority: SOI, Trenčín Region Inspectorate, Hurbanova 59, 911 01 Trenčín, Slovakia.
