The data subject has given consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

4.2) Contract Performance

When an individual enters into a contract with the organization, the contract itself serves as the legal basis for processing personal data. This means that personal data may be processed for contract execution, such as the sale of tickets, subscriptions, etc. If an individual does not provide the necessary personal data, the organization cannot conclude the contract, nor can it provide the requested services, deliver goods, or fulfill other contractual obligations.

As part of its lawful activities, the organization may inform individuals and users of its services via email about its services, events, training sessions, offers, and other content. Individuals may request to stop such communication and processing of their personal data at any time by unsubscribing via the opt-out link in received messages, by sending a request via email to info@zkst-zalec.si, or by regular mail to the organization’s address:

ZKŠT Zavod za kulturo, šport in turizem Žalec
Aškerčeva 9a, 3310 Žalec

4.3) Legitimate Interest

The organization may process personal data based on its legitimate interest unless such interests are overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms of the individual requiring the protection of personal data. When relying on legitimate interest, the organization always conducts an assessment in accordance with the General Regulation.

The processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes is considered to be in the legitimate interest of the organization. The organization may process personal data collected from publicly available sources or through the lawful conduct of its activities for purposes such as offering goods and services, employment opportunities, informing about benefits, events, etc. To achieve these purposes, the organization may use postal mail, phone calls, emails, and other telecommunication methods.

For direct marketing purposes, the organization may process the following personal data of individuals: name and surname, permanent or temporary address, phone number, and email address. The organization may process these personal data for direct marketing purposes even without the individual’s explicit consent.

An individual may request the cessation of such communication and data processing at any time by unsubscribing via the opt-out link in the received message, by sending a request via email to info@zkst-zalec.si, or by regular mail to the organization’s address:

ZKŠT Zavod za kulturo, šport in turizem Žalec
Aškerčeva 9a, 3310 Žalec

4.4) Processing Based on Consent

If the organization does not have a legal basis under the law, contractual obligation, or legitimate interest, it may request the individual’s consent for processing. In such cases, the organization may process certain personal data for the following purposes, provided the individual has given their consent:

Address of residence and email address for communication and information purposes.
Photographs, videos, and other content related to the individual (e.g., publishing images of individuals on the organization’s website) for documentation purposes and informing the public about the organization’s activities and events.
Other purposes for which the individual provides consent.
If an individual provides consent for personal data processing but later wishes to withdraw it, they can request the cessation of data processing by sending a request via email to info@zkst-zalec.si or by regular mail to the organization’s address:

ZKŠT Zavod za kulturo, šport in turizem Žalec
Aškerčeva 9a, 3310 Žalec

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

4.5) Processing Necessary for the Protection of an Individual’s Vital Interests

The organization may process personal data of an individual if it is necessary for the protection of their vital interests. In emergency situations, the organization may search for an individual’s identification document, verify whether the person exists in its database, review their medical history, or contact their relatives. In such cases, the organization does not require the individual’s consent. This applies when it is essential for the protection of the individual’s vital interests.

5) Storage and Deletion of Personal Data

The organization will store personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data was collected and processed. If the data is processed based on legal obligations, the organization will retain it for the period prescribed by law. Some data is stored for the duration of cooperation with the organization, while certain data must be retained permanently.

Personal data processed under a contractual relationship with an individual will be retained for the period necessary to fulfill the contract and for an additional six years after its termination, except in cases where a dispute arises between the individual and the organization concerning the contract. In such cases, the data will be retained for ten years after the final court decision, arbitration, or judicial settlement. If no legal dispute occurs, the data will be retained for five years from the date of peaceful dispute resolution.

Personal data processed based on an individual’s consent or legitimate interest will be stored until the withdrawal of consent or until the individual requests deletion of the data. After receiving a withdrawal or deletion request, the data will be deleted within 15 days. The organization may also delete such data before receiving a request if the purpose of processing has been fulfilled or if required by law.

Exceptionally, the organization may refuse a request for deletion in accordance with the General Regulation for reasons such as:

Exercising the right to freedom of expression and information.
Compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing.
Reasons of public interest in public health.
Archiving purposes in the public interest.
Scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
The establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
After the retention period expires, the organization must permanently delete or anonymize the personal data so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.

6) Contractual Processing of Personal Data and Data Transfers

The organization may entrust certain personal data to a contractual data processor based on a data processing agreement. Contractual processors may process the entrusted data exclusively on behalf of the controller, within the limits of their authorization as specified in a written contract or other legal act, and in accordance with the purposes defined in this privacy policy.

The organization primarily collaborates with the following contractual processors:

Accounting services and other providers of legal and business consulting.
Infrastructure maintenance providers (video surveillance, security services).
IT system maintenance providers.
Email service providers and providers of cloud-based software services (e.g., Arnes, Microsoft, Google).
Social media platforms and online advertising providers (Google, Facebook, Instagram, etc.).
The organization will not disclose personal data to any unauthorized third parties. Contractual processors may process personal data only within the instructions provided by the organization and may not use the data for any other purposes.

As a data controller, the organization and its employees do not transfer personal data to third countries (outside the European Economic Area – EU member states, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein) or international organizations, except to the United States. In such cases, relationships with U.S. data processors are governed by standard contractual clauses (model contracts adopted by the European Commission) and/or binding corporate rules (approved by supervisory authorities in the EU).

For improved transparency and oversight of contractual processors, the organization maintains a register of data processors, listing all specific contractual processors with whom it collaborates.

Individuals are responsible for securely providing their personal data and ensuring that the transmitted data is accurate and truthful. The organization will strive to ensure that the personal data it processes is accurate and updated as necessary. Occasionally, the organization may contact individuals to confirm the accuracy of their personal data.

11) Individual Rights Regarding Data Processing

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the following personal data protection rights:

They may request information on whether we hold their personal data, and if so, which data we have, on what basis, and for what purpose we use it.
They may request access to their personal data, allowing them to receive a copy of the personal data held by the organization and verify whether it is being processed lawfully.
They may request corrections to their personal data, such as rectifying incomplete or inaccurate personal data.
They may request the deletion of their personal data when there is no justification for further processing or when they exercise their right to object to further processing.
They may object to the further processing of their personal data when the organization relies on a legitimate business interest (including the legitimate interest of a third party), if there are reasons related to their particular situation; individuals have the right to object at any time if the organization processes personal data for direct marketing purposes.
They may request a restriction on the processing of their personal data, meaning a temporary halt to data processing—for example, if they wish the organization to verify the accuracy of the data or the reasons for its further processing.
They may request the transfer of their personal data in a structured electronic format to another data controller, where feasible and practical.
They may withdraw consent given for the collection, processing, and transfer of their personal data for a specific purpose. Upon receiving a notice of consent withdrawal, the organization will cease processing personal data for the originally intended purposes unless it has another lawful basis for doing so.

To exercise any of the above rights, individuals may send a request via email to info@zkst-zalec.si or by regular mail to the organization’s address: ZKŠT Zavod za kulturo, šport in turizem Žalec, Aškerčeva 9a, 3310 Žalec.

However, the organization may charge a reasonable fee if a request is clearly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive. In such cases, the organization may also refuse the request. To process a request concerning personal data rights, the organization may need to request additional information from the individual to confirm their identity—this is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to unauthorized persons.
