The Policy does not apply to any other websites that are maintained by other organisations, including those maintained by the Transparency International Secretariat based in Berlin and other Transparency International country offices, or by any other third parties. While the TI-SK website may contain links to the websites of these third parties, these other websites are governed by their own privacy policies.
The TI-SK website can in principle be used without the user having to provide personal data. However, some of the services made available by the TI-SK website may be subject to exceptions, which are explained below and serve to inform the user of the TI-SK website about the manner, scope and purpose of personal data processing.
The processing of your personal data may involve transferring your personal data to third parties. Such transfers always take place in accordance with the GDPR, either based on your consent or another relevant legal basis (performance of a contract, performance of a legal obligation, legitimate interest of TI-SK). Unless otherwise stated below, your data is only processed within the EU, is not transferred to third countries and is not subject to profiling or automated processing.
The retention of personal data will not last longer than the time necessary to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations or to avoid liability claims.
