Gaveia d.o.o. privacy policy

May, 2024.

Gaveia respects the privacy of every person whose personal data it processes. As part of this Privacy Policy, we would like to inform you about which personal data Gaveia, as a data controller, collects and processes, for what purpose, how it protects them and what your rights are.

 

GENERAL PART

DATA CONTROLLER AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Gaveia d.o.o., with its registered seat in Novigrad, Croatia, Rijeke Raše 7, OIB (PID): 30657775410 (hereinafter: Gaveia or “us” or “our”), as data controller, shall undertake to protect your personal data. The collection and retention of data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (hereinafter: the Regulation), the Act on Implementation of General Data Protection Regulation (Official Gazette, No. 42/2018) and other regulations governing the area concerned, which are applicable in the Republic of Croatia.

SCOPE

OThis Privacy Policy applies to any processing of personal data carried out by Gaveia as a data controller, unless another Gaveia’s policy or other document stipulates otherwise for a particular processing. In some cases, Gaveia acts as a data controller for data subjects who are also data subjects of companies with which Gaveia has concluded agreements on mediation and distribution of accommodation capacities within the scope of its powers based on those agreements.

This Privacy Policy is divided into two parts: General Part and Specific Part. The basic principles of personal data processing, contact details of the personal data protection officer and other provisions specified in the General Part of the Privacy Policy apply without exception to any processing of personal data, regardless of whether such processing is specifically processed in the specific part of the Privacy Policy or not. Specific cases of data processing, which represent the majority of all our processing, are covered in more detail in the specific part of the Privacy Policy.

DATA PROTECTION OFFICIAL

Gaveia has appointed a personal data protection officer who can be contacted at any time for questions related to the protection of personal data and exercising the rights guaranteed by the Regulation at privacy@gaveia.com or by mail to the address: Gaveia d.o.o., Rijeke Raše 7, Novigrad, Republic of Croatia – for DPO.

 

PRINCIPLES OF PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Gaveia recognized the principles of data processing as basic values that must be respected during the entire cycle of personal data processing, from their collection to their destruction or other end of processing.

We process data:

  • Lawfully– processing will be possible if it is permitted by law and within the limits permitted by law.
  • Fairly– respecting the specifics of each relationship, applying all adequate measures for protecting personal data and not preventing data subjects from exercising their rights.
  • Transparently– informing data subjects about personal data processing. From the collection of data itself, when data subjects are informed about all aspects of data processing, right until the end of data processing, data subjects are provided with simple and quick access to their own data. Certain information may be restricted only when required by law or when it is necessary to protect third parties.
  • Purpose limitation– processing personal data for the purposes for which they have been collected, and for other purposes if the requirements laid down in the Regulation are fulfilled. Data can be processed for the corresponding purposes only taking into account: (a) any link between the purposes for which the personal data has been collected and the purposes of the intended further processing; (b) the context in which the personal data has been collected, in particular regarding the relationship between us and the data subject; (c) the nature of the personal data, in particular the fact whether special categories of personal data are processed, pursuant to Article 9 of the Regulation, or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences are processed, pursuant to Article 10 of the Regulation; (d) possible consequences of the intended further processing for data subjects; and (e) existence of appropriate safeguards
  • Storage limitation– storing data in a form that enables the identification of the data subject only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed, and longer only if permitted by regulations.
  • Data minimization– processing data if it is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary. Particular care is taken not to collect data for which there is no justified need for processing.
  • Taking into account accuracy– taking into account that data is accurate and current and deleting inaccurate data as possible.
  • Taking into account integrity and confidentiality– providing adequate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures. Relevant measures are applied taking into account the risk of each type of data processing.

LAWFULNESS OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

In order to respect the lawfulness of personal data processing, we process personal data only if and to the extent that at least one of the following legal bases is met:

  • The processing is necessary for the execution of an agreement to which a data subject is a party or in order to take actions at the request of a data subject before concluding the agreement;this is the most common purpose of processing data subjects’ data with the basis of an existing contractual relationship or a pursued contractual relationship.
  • Processing is necessary to comply with controller’s legal obligations.Gaveia as a legal entity has numerous obligations prescribed by various regulations. This obligation includes the collection and, often, providing data to national authorities. For example, processing personal data of guests and forwarding through reservation management system – Phobs.
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, taking into account the reasonable expectations of the data subject based on their relationship with the data controller, in particular where the data subject is a child. When applying this legal basis, we assess that the processing is appropriate for business needs, that it is as minimally invasive as possible, and that the interests of the data subject do not override our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. Examples of this type of processing are processing for administrative purposes, the purposes of maintaining the security of computer networks, the purposes of direct marketing and the improvement of our business. In these situations, the data subject always has the right to object to such processing.
  • Processing is necessary to protect key interests of the data subject or other natural persons. The right to personal data protection is not an absolute right and we equate it with other fundamental rights in accordance with the principle of proportionality. Gaveia d.o.o. recognizes the possibility that in some situations it is necessary to process personal data in order to protect key interests of the data subject or other natural persons. In some extraordinary situations, for example, in case of epidemics, we can also process data based on the recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED

Specific categories of personal data: special categories of personal data are processed only if the requirements laid down in Article 9 of the Regulation are fulfilled. For example, we process the workers’ data that fall under special categories of personal data, such as data on union membership (for example, when exercising special rights according to relevant regulations), religious or philosophical beliefs (for example, when exercising the right to additional non-work days for religious holidays if an individual voluntarily disclosed such data for the stated purpose) or data related to health (for example, according to special regulations on occupational safety or keeping records of workers or when special health certificates are required for certain jobs).

Personal data that does not fall under the previous two groups: such personal data makes up the largest part of the processed data, which are most often identification data and contact data such as first and last name, OIB (PID).

Most of the personal data we collect is provided by the data subjects themselves and we ask that you do not provide sensitive information (for example, race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, etc.) when it is not necessary. If you do provide sensitive information for any reason, by doing so, you expressly consent to the collection and use of that information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy or in the manner described at the time the information is disclosed.

PROVIDING DATA TO THIRD PARTY ENTITIES

Gaveia shares personal data with others only when there is a legal basis for doing so.

It is possible that in certain cases personal data may be transferred outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) to countries for which there is no decision of the European Commission on adequacy. In these cases, we ensure compliance with high standards of personal data protection, and in accordance with the strict requirements of the Regulation, any transfer of personal data to third countries will be carried out in accordance with Chapter V of the Regulation. The most common transfer models in these cases are the application of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and the express consent of the data subjects.

Legal obligations
As part of fulfilling our legal obligations, we are obliged to provide data to third parties. For example, providing guest data via the eVisitor system, providing workers’ data to competent institutes: the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute, the Croatian Health Insurance Fund, the Tax Administration and the Central Register of Insured Persons and pension companies. We are also obliged in certain cases to submit or make available data related to employment to the Croatian Employment Service; for example, in order to include workers in active employment policy measures, to the competent police stations or to the ministry responsible for internal affairs, as well as for issuing work permits, to the ministry responsible for tourism in the case of employing scholarship holders, to the ministry responsible for economy and entrepreneurship when it comes to the use of investment grants, insurance companies, banks and in other cases when the regulations require it. Certain workers’ data is also sent to banks or pension funds as part of salary payments, and data can also be sent to creditors in accordance with enforcement regulations. Data is sometimes sent with regard to contractual obligations; for example, when it comes to students who do work-based learning (practical work), data is exchanged with schools and/or faculties.
Certain personal data is also provided to business entities for the purpose of providing specific services, such as employee medical examinations services (contracted occupational medicine); furthermore, to institutions that organize legally required education (occupational safety, minimum hygiene, toxicology) or audit companies when conducting mandatory audits, to public notaries when certifications are required, to the Financial Agency for the purposes of obtaining business certificates, to public procurement obliged entities when we respond to public procurement tenders, and for the purpose of awarding and using official cards, official mobile devices or for buying fuel.

Gaveia as a travel agency
Considering that we are also a travel agency, we forward data to third parties when this is necessary for the realization of the agreed services. For example, we forward the data of a guest who booked accommodation to the company that provides specific accommodation services, or we forward the data of customers for an experience to the organizer of that experience.

Gaveia partners – data processors
It is possible to provide data to business entities, data processors, who process data on our behalf as a data controller. Most often, these are our business associates who provide us with certain services, such as IT, marketing and payment processing. We conclude a detailed agreement with all partners regarding their powers and obligations in processing personal data, in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation. They are also obliged to use the data entrusted to them exclusively in accordance with our agreements and strictly for the purpose we have specified. They are also obliged to appropriately protect your data and keep it confidential.

DATA RETENTION PERIOD

Data subjects’ data is processed and retained, in accordance with the applicable legal regulations, when the retention obligation is prescribed.

In cases where Gaveia is authorized to determine its own data retention periods, the data is retained as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which the personal data is processed, taking into account the purpose of processing, the legitimate interests of Gaveia and the interests of the data subject. When we have not stated the data retention period in this Privacy Policy or elsewhere for a specific processing, the retention period is 5 years.

After the expiration of the stipulated data retention period, we will delete the data, and in cases where that is not possible, we will make the data unreadable.

SOURCES OF PERSONAL DATA

We usually receive personal data from you. When providing personal data, in any way (booking inquiries, accommodation booking, applying for a job, etc.), you guarantee that the information you have provided is correct, that you are legally competent and authorized to handle the information provided, and that you fully agree that we use and collect your data in accordance with the positive regulations and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

We also receive your personal data indirectly, from other natural and legal persons, for example: from travel agencies that forward guest data for accommodation purposes, from guests who book accommodation for people with whom they will stay in the facilities, from agencies for employment mediation and assignment of workers, from business partners about their workers who will participate in the execution of certain agreements, etc. When providing personal data of other persons, you guarantee that the information you have attached is correct, that you are legally competent and authorized to handle the information provided, that the data subjects whose personal data you forward to us consent to us processing their data. If you provide data of other persons, you are obliged to acquaint them with our Privacy Policy. In certain cases, we also receive personal data from public sources; for example, court register, your web pages, advertisements, etc.

TECHNICAL AND INTEGRATED DATA PROTECTION

We take into account the highest organizational and technical data protection standards. Therefore, taking into account the latest developments, the cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as risks of different levels of probability and severity for the rights and freedoms of individuals arising from data processing, at the time of determining the means of processing and at the time of the processing itself, we carry out appropriate technical and organizational measures to enable effective application of data protection principles.

We also implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that only personal data that is necessary for each specific processing purpose is processed in an integrated manner. We apply this measure to the amount of personal data collected, the scope of their processing, the period of storage and their availability. More specifically, such measures ensure that personal data is not automatically, without individual intervention, available to an unlimited number of individuals.

In order to ensure a high level of security when processing personal data and to protect it from accidental or intentional unauthorized access, loss or modification, we provide access to the systems in which the largest number of personal data of individuals is stored only to authorized persons to the extent necessary for the execution of their work tasks and through a multiple authentication system, which is secured against unauthorized access and use and regularly updated.

PERSONAL DATA BREACHES

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to minimize the risk of a breach; however, if you do notice that there has been a breach of personal data, please report any such breach to us without delay by e-mail at: privacy@gaveia.com. We have established internal mechanisms in order to react in a timely and appropriate manner in such cases.

In accordance with the Regulation, but also to internal regulations, in the event of a personal data breach, without undue delay and if feasible, no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach, we report the personal data breach to the competent supervisory authority, unless it is unlikely that the personal data breach will cause risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

The report submitted to the supervisory authority contains all information in accordance with the Regulation.

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to cause a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we notify the data subject about the personal data breach without undue delay. Sometimes, in cases where the Regulation stipulates, informing the data subject is not mandatory.

RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECTS

Regardless of the basis of data collection, data subjects can exercise the following rights free of charge within the limits prescribed by the Regulation:

Right to information: you have the right to be informed about the processing and its purposes. We make sure to provide all information to the data subject that is necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing, taking into account the context of the processing.

Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”): you have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you, without undue delay, in accordance with the terms of the Regulation. To do this, send your request to us as the data controller in writing, including electronic form of communication. Please note that it is necessary to specify in the request what exactly you want to be deleted, because we can retain your data based on different legal bases; for example, a data subject can be both our guest and a job candidate. You have the right to request the deletion of personal data concerning you if one of the following conditions is met:

  • Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which we collected or processed it;
  • you have withdrawn the consent on which the processing is based and if there is no other legal basis for processing;
  • you have objected to the processing of your personal data and if there are no stronger legitimate reasons for our processing;
  • personal data has been processed illegally;
  • personal data must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation.

In some cases, it will not be possible to fully fulfill the request for deletion; for example, when there is a legal obligation to retain the data, when the legitimate interest of the data controller overrides the interest of the data subject, when there is an interest of the data controller to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to access data: you have the right to access your personal data that we process and you can request detailed information, in particular, about the purpose of its processing, about the type/categories of personal data that is processed, including insight into your personal data, about recipients or categories of recipients, and about the expected period in which the personal data will be stored. Access to personal data can be limited only in cases prescribed by law, or when such a limitation respects the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.

Right to rectification: you have the right to rectify or supplement personal data if your data is not accurate, complete and up to date. To do this, send your request to us as the data controller in writing, including electronic form of communication. Please note that it is necessary to specify in the request what exactly is not accurate, complete or up to date and in what sense it should be rectified, and to submit the necessary documentation in support of your claims.

Right to data portability: you have the right to receive personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format – and the right to transmit this data to another data controller without interference from the data controller to which the personal data has been provided, all in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation.

Right to restriction of processing: you have the right to request the realization of the right to restriction of processing in the following cases:

  • If you contest their accuracy;
  • If the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure;
  • If the data controller no longer needs the personal data, but you have requested it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • If you have objected to processing of your personal data and are waiting for verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject

Right to object to the processing of personal data: when we process data on the basis of our legitimate interests that override the interests of the data subject, then the data subject has the right, based on their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them.

In any case, data subjects have the right to:

  • lodge an objection to the Data Protection Officer
    Gaveia d.o.o.
    for DPO
    Rijeke Raše 7, Novigrad
    e-mail: privacy@gaveia.com
  • submit a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that your data protection rights have been breached
    Personal Data Protection Agency
    Selska cesta 136, HR – 10 000 Zagreb
    e-mail: azop@azop.hr

We, as a data controller, have the right to protect our interests, as well as to protect data subjects, and we accordingly have the right to carry out activities to establish the identity of the applicant.

We have the right to publish the form that will be used to submit the request in order to process the request as efficiently as possible.

In the event of a request, we will provide you with information on the actions taken in connection with the exercise of your rights without undue delay and, in any case, within one month from the date of receiving the request. This period can be extended by an additional two months if necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. In this case, we will notify you within one month from the date of receiving the request, along with the reasons for the delay.

If you submit a request electronically, we will provide the information electronically, if possible, unless you request otherwise.

Please note that in the event of a request, we keep all requests and accompanying correspondence for the purpose of demonstrating conduct.

As a rule, handling data subjects’ requests is free, but if the data subjects’ requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we have the right to charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs or refuse to act on the request. All requests that are not related to the protection of personal data and are delivered to the address of the data protection officer, e.g. offers of job candidates, inquiries for bookings will be forwarded directly to the relevant departments within Gaveia, without a specific response to the sender by the data protection officer. Moreover, if necessary, all requests related to the protection of personal data received by our other departments at some of our other e-mail addresses can be forwarded to our data protection officer.

 

SPECIAL PART

ACCOMMODATION RESERVATION THROUGH THE GAVEIA PORTAL (camps, apartments, villas and holiday homes)

The main subject of our business is mediation in accommodation booking. For this purpose, we conclude agreements with you on hospitality services (on camping services, on accommodation in tourist apartments, villas and holiday homes). Therefore, we collect and process your personal data for various purposes with the ultimate goal of providing quality accommodation and accompanying services according to the highest standards of tourism companies.

Through our websites you can book accommodation in the following types of accommodation:

  • Pitches in camping grounds;
  • Mobile homes in camping grounds (villas, suites and camping homes, glamping tents)
  • Villas and holiday homes

In the case of booking accommodations through our sales channels (bookings via the website or bookings by calling our call center (based on a legitimate interest, we keep records of calls) or booking by accepting an offer by e-mail). Your data controller is Gaveia, but also other companies depending on which facility you are staying at.

We store your personal data, which you must submit in order to provide you with accommodation services, in our database for the purpose of fulfilling agreements on hospitality services and fulfilling legal obligations related to the hospitality industry. In the event that you do not provide us with the minimum data required for booking accommodation and during your stay for registration to all relevant registers, we will not be able to provide accommodation booking services or accommodation services in accordance with the agreement and the law.

Certain data is necessary in order to take actions at the request of the data subject before concluding the agreement on accommodation. For example, before the accommodation booking itself, at the request of potential guests, offers for accommodation are sent, for the creation and sending of which we need personal data, at least first name, last name and e-mail address, as well as information about the desired stay.

The personal data we collect in order to fulfill the booking obligation are:

  • First and last name of the booking holder
  • Address of domicile (Croatian citizens)
  • Nationality
  • Facility name
  • Number of accommodation units, type of accommodation unit (pitch, mobile home, villa, holiday home type)
  • Date of arrival and departure
  • The number of persons for whom accommodation is booked and room allocation
  • Which persons are minors
  • Potentially other specifics, depending on the request of the person booking the accommodation;
  • E-mail if the person has one
  • Language
  • Phone number
  • Membership in the loyalty program, if it affects the price of accommodation or collecting points
  • Method of payment and potentially additional data necessary for the execution of transactions or ensuring payment

Moreover, in order to exercise certain rights and benefits, it is necessary to attach (copies of) appropriate papers, certificates and documents that prove and exercise such rights and benefits. When arriving at the facility, guests usually register at the facility’s reception desk using a registration card that the guest fills out or they review and confirm the accuracy of its data.

In any case, the data is entered into the guest database, from which the data is sent to the eVisitor system (the unique online information system for guest registration and deregistration) in order to comply with our legal obligations. The data that is collected is as follows (the data may change due to changes in positive regulations):

  • First and last name
  • Place, country and date of birth
  • Nationality
  • Number and type of identification document
  • Place of domicile (residence) and address
  • Date and time of arrival or departure from the property
  • Gender
  • The basis for exemption from payment of tourist tax or for the reduction of the payment of the tourist tax

The aforementioned data is processed by tourist boards and public authorities of the country where the accommodation is located for the following legal purposes:

  • monitoring the execution of tourist registration and deregistration obligations by those obliged to register and deregister (accommodation service providers);
  • records, calculations and collection of tourist tax;
  • keeping a book or list of guests by the accommodation service provider and monitoring the execution of the aforementioned obligation by the inspection bodies;
  • reporting foreigners to the ministry responsible for internal affairs and monitoring the execution of the aforementioned obligation by the inspection bodies;
  • keeping a list of tourists by tourist boards and statistical processing and reporting;
  • supervision over the business of accommodation service providers in the part that relates to the lawfulness of performing the activity or providing registered services and compliance with tax and other regulations on public contributions.

Data about guests in the guestbook, which is kept in electronic form, is retained for two years in accordance with the regulations. We will retain certain data from persons who requested an offer, booked accommodation, canceled accommodation, guest data for the purpose of proving the content of the relationship with the data subject, or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims for a period of five years since the last contact (inquiry) on the linked websites of the company Gaveia. For the stated purposes, we will retain the data necessary for the booking itself, as well as other data, depending on the individual case, for example: the date of receipt of the guest’s complaint and the content of the complaint, correspondence, etc. We are also obliged to keep all invoices, as well as the basis for issuing invoices issued to guests with the guest’s personal data in accordance with legal regulations.

Other data related to the circumstances of your stay, such as requests for a baby crib, will also be collected and processed only during your stay when they are directly related to the provision of a specific accommodation service.

PRIZE GAMES AND PRIZE CONTESTS

Gaveia may occasionally organize prize games and prize contests, in which case it will collect your personal data only if you decide to participate in the prize game or contest. The data that will be collected this way and that is necessary for participation in the prize game/contest will be determined in the rules of the prize game/contest, and may be different. It is possible that the data of the awardees or winners will be made public.

The data collected this way, based on a kind of contractual obligation, will be used for the purpose of conducting the prize game/contest, in accordance with the published rules of the prize game, and will be deleted within five years after its end.

We have the right based on legitimate interest to collect certain data from participants in our prize games and contests and use it for direct marketing purposes as described in the MARKETING MESSAGES section.

MARKETING MESSAGES (NEWSLETTERS)

We have an interest in the processing of personal data that is carried out for the purposes of direct marketing for sending marketing messages, and for this purpose Gaveia uses different methods:

  • e-mail marketing, which means sending marketing messages (newsletter);
  • the so-called web and mobile app push messages/notifications (short and simple messages sent from the browser or application to your device);
  • remarketing that allows ads to be shown to users who have previously visited one of Gaveia’s websites, which you can find more about in the Cookie Policy found on each website.

 

The legal bases for processing personal data for direct marketing are:

LEGITIMATE INTEREST in the case of a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and Gaveia in accordance with point 70 of the introductory provisions of the Regulation, namely:

for basic newsletters (messages) that are sent to certain categories of data subjects who; for example,

  • have requested an offer and/or booked accommodation;
  • have participated in a prize game;
  • have filled out a satisfaction questionnaire

for newsletters (messages) designed just for you that are sent only to our loyal members

CONSENT for:

  • basic newsletters (messages);
  • newsletters (messages) designed just for you that are sent only to data subjects who have given explicit consent for such offers;
  • push messages/notifications;
  • additional data in the event that data subjects independently provide additional data when updating their profiles on websites;
  • remarketing that is provided by giving consent to cookies. We especially point out that in some cases, in addition to the data obtained from cookies and pixels for which special consent is given, the data subjects’ data from the existing Gaveia database can also be used (e.g. data about persons who have used certain accommodation).

Basic newsletters (messages) that are sent based on legitimate interest are sent only to data subjects who have a relationship with Gaveia or with one of our websites. The data processed is first and last name, e-mail, mobile phone number, address, gender, country/language of communication and basic data related to the specific relationship with Gaveia (for example: facility, destination where you are staying, data on the purchase, etc.). All these categories of personal data are considered important because they enable the meaningful creation of a newsletter that is in line with the interests of the data subjects.

Basic newsletters (messages) that are sent based on the consent given by signing up for the newsletter. Signing up for the newsletter is possible via a web form on some of our websites. Such newsletters are sent based on your consent, which you give us by filling out and confirming the form on the website. The content of the newsletter and its purpose will be specified when you register (for example: notifications about current special offers, job offers, etc.). If you have updated your profile and provided some other data, this data will also be processed.

The period of processing personal data for the purpose of sending the newsletter is 10 years, counting:

  • from the day of the last stay or other business relationship with us when newsletters are sent based on legitimate interest;
  • from the date of your consent, when newsletters are sent based on your consent.

The processing period for data collected through cookies depends on the type of cookies and is described on each website where they are used.

In all cases where the data subject has given consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw the given consent at any time, free of charge and without explanation. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before the withdrawal.

In all cases where the processing is based on a legitimate interest, data subjects have the right to object any time, free of charge and without explanation.

Withdrawal of consent, as well as a complaint, can be sent by e-mail to reservations@adriacamps.com.

At any time, without explanation and without compensation, and regardless of the legal basis for receiving marketing messages (newsletters), you can unsubscribe from receiving any newsletter by clicking on the link at the bottom of each newsletter, or by blocking the sender in accordance with the rules of the online channel you use and, in that case, you will no longer receive the newsletter, but the data will remain archived.

Unsubscribing from the newsletter is not related to Gaveia’s legitimate interest in sending service messages and satisfaction questionnaires related to a specific stay, purchased experience, etc. to data subjects for whom there is also some other legal basis (for example, guests of facilities, job candidates), as well as other service messages.

The withdrawal of the consent given for cookies can also be given at any time, without explanation and without compensation, and is described in the Cookie Policy.

 

SERVICE MESSAGES AND SATISFACTION QUESTIONNAIRES

Service messages are messages that we can send by e-mail and which are related to a certain relationship we have with you, that we send based on a legitimate interest, that is, consent when we ask for it, for example:

  • before, during and after your stay at any of our partner’s facilities, we can send messages related to booking confirmations, reminders about your stay and other information closely related to the specific stay you have booked;
  • when purchasing/booking goods, services or experiences on one of our sales websites, we may send confirmations of the concluded agreement, invoices, order confirmations, vouchers and other information closely related to the specific purchase or booking.

We send satisfaction questionnaires, which are related to a specific relationship we have with you, based on a legitimate interest, for example:

  • during and after the stay at any of our partner’s facilities, we have the right to send questionnaires about satisfaction with the service provided,
  • after the booking, services or experiences that you have purchased through our sales channels, we have the right to send questionnaires about satisfaction with the service provided or the goods purchased.

The primary purpose of the satisfaction questionnaire is to collect data for the legitimate interest of improving the service. We can process the results ourselves or through associates.

Service messages and messages with satisfaction questionnaires are not considered marketing messages, and please note that if you have requested that we not send you marketing messages, and you have booked accommodation after that, it is possible that you will receive service messages and satisfaction questionnaires.

In any case, when we send you messages based on legitimate interest, you have the right to object.

Candidates send their job applications:

  • as open applications, in which case we process data for the purpose of contacting the candidate in connection with employment for three years (if the person is not employed by us);
  • as applications for specific tenders that have a specified end date, in which case we process data for the duration of the tender and five months from the end of the tender in order to contact candidates regarding employment, and these applications are archived for three years. In the event that candidates who apply for a specific tender that has a specified deadline give special consent, we process the data for the purpose of contacting the candidate regarding employment for three years, as well as open applications (if the person is not employed with us).

For example, after applying, candidates can receive an automatic response that their application has been received and that candidates whose qualifications and experience match those required for individual positions will be contacted.

The retained data is provided by the candidates themselves, but we, based on our legitimate interest in securing the best candidates, ourselves create personal data in connection with recruitment activities, such as the results of job interviews, tests (including online psychological testing) and assessments, and collect personal data from third parties, primarily by checking data obtained during the recruitment process by contacting relevant third parties (for example: employment agencies, education and training service providers) or by using publicly available sources.

The data that is collected is listed in the Rulebook on the content and method of keeping records on workers published by the ministry responsible for work and the pension system.

The necessary data to establish an employment relationship is, as a rule, a copy of an identity card, a copy of a current account or payment instruction from a bank, a copy of a protected account (if the employee has one), OIB (PID), proof of formal qualifications (copy of a certificate or diploma), e-book: certificate of pensionable service (obtained from the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute or through the e-Citizens service), electronic record of the tax card form, the so-called PK form (obtained from the Tax Administration or through the e-Citizens service, persons who are employed for the first time do not have an electronic record of the tax card form and must open it at the Tax Administration), birth certificate of the child if they are under 15 years old.
