GDPR personal data policy

Controller of your personal information is company ARTAX, a.s., Karasek 1e, 621 00 BRNO, Czech Republic. You can contact the individual responsible for overseeing the proper use of your personal data by writing to the emailing gdpr@artax.cz.

2. For what purpose is my personal data being processed?

Every proper agreement requires personal data. We use your personal data to conclude a purchase agreement and to deliver on the subject of the agreement, which in our case means supplying our products to you, our customers. Personal data is used only within the scope required for the specified purpose.

You can also agree to have your personal data used for marketing purposes. This includes:

To ensure that your personal data is safe, we have entered into appropriate agreements with all relevant third parties.

4. How long do you keep my personal details?

We keep them for as long as we are required to do so by legislation. However, at any time you can contact the authorised individual (for contact details see points 1 and 2 above) and ask that you be given access to your data held by ARTAX, that the data be updated, or that it be in the EU, where your identity will be verified before processing.
