Data Controller

The controller of personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable national legislation governing personal data protection is:

UTG Vodnik d.o.o.

Tolstojeva ulica 12, Vir

1230 Domžale

VAT ID: SI47451742

Registration number: 2372754000

 

Personal Data and Purpose of Processing

If you wish to receive content from UTG Vodnik d.o.o., you may subscribe or unsubscribe to the following processing activities:

  • occasional newsletters
  • regular newsletters
  • event invitations
  • notifications about special promotions and opportunities
  • publications

By completing these forms, order forms, applications, or registrations and confirming your submission, you provide UTG Vodnik d.o.o. with the following contact details:

– first name

– surname

– e-mail address

– telephone number

The contact details you provide when submitting these forms, order forms, registrations, or applications are required to process your subscription and to communicate with you regarding specific newsletters, events, special promotions, or publications.

UTG Vodnik d.o.o. respects your privacy and is committed to collecting, storing, and processing personal data carefully and in accordance with applicable personal data protection regulations.

Because the web information system of UTG Vodnik d.o.o. contains links to other, external websites that are not directly connected to UTG Vodnik d.o.o., we assume no responsibility for data protection on those websites.

To prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of obtained data, preserve the accuracy of personal data, and ensure their proper use, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard the data we collect.

UTG Vodnik d.o.o. cannot completely exclude the possibility of data leakage or misuse, as online technologies are open to the public and therefore may be subject to cyber intrusions, which are inherently unpredictable.

 

NOTICE:

The EU GDPR does not prescribe specific technical measures for protecting the identity of the website operator or require the operator to prove their identity, nor does it prescribe identity verification for website visitors.

Therefore, obligations regarding the protection of personal data and verification of the operator’s identity remain at the discretion of the individual user, who independently decides whether they trust the publicly displayed identity of the operator.

The controller also cannot fully guarantee that the consent received was truly provided by the individual, as the visitor does not identify themselves in a unique and verifiable way during the consent procedure.

Processing of Personal Data in the Online Store

In addition to the data collected for sending newsletters and event invitations, we also process personal data within the operation of our online store. This data includes:

  • first name and surname
    • delivery and/or billing address
    • e-mail address
    • telephone number
    • payment method information (e.g., bank account number or PayPal ID, if used)

Purpose of processing:
We process this data for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations – processing and delivering orders, issuing invoices, handling complaints, and communicating with users regarding orders.

Legal basis:
Article 6(1)(b) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – performance of a contract.

Retention:
Data is stored in accordance with applicable tax and accounting legislation (10 years under ZDavP-2).

Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

Your personal data is disclosed exclusively to contractual processors when this is necessary for the provision of services:

  • delivery service providers (e.g., Pošta Slovenije, DPD, GLS)
    • payment service providers (e.g., banks, PayPal, etc.)
    • providers of website hosting and platform services
    • accounting services

All processors are bound to comply with GDPR provisions.
