The aim of this policy is to protect the rights of the persons concerned against unauthorised handling of their data and personal information, give data subjects greater control over how their data is handled, and clarify which personal data we collect in connection with providing our forwarding and transport services to our customers and business partners, and how we protect it.

Takecars is a controller of personal data primarily in relation to the personal data of authorised or contact persons of customers and potential customers. This personal data is processed and stored in the Takecars customer database. It is also a controller in relation to the personal data of its employees and business partners.

Our goal is to process only current and accurate personal data. Please therefore inform us of any changes to the personal data you have provided to us.

If you have any questions about the processing and protection of your personal data, you can exercise your data protection rights by contacting us in person at Malešická 39, 130 00 Praha 3, or by e-mail at info@takecars.cz. In case of doubt about your identity, we may ask you for additional verification of your identity.

In relevant cases you can contact Takecars in the ways described above to exercise your right of access to personal data, its rectification or erasure, or restriction of processing, to object to processing where processing is based on our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, as well as to exercise the right to data portability and other rights under the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you believe that we are not handling your data adequately and in accordance with legal standards, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which is the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Praha 7 – Holešovice, or via the authority’s website: www.uoou.cz.

02What personal data we process and why

Takecars processes personal data exclusively for the purpose of providing forwarding and transport services. Within this activity we process various kinds of information, which can generally be divided into the following categories:

The largest part of personal data is processed for the purpose of providing forwarding and transport services to our customers in performing obligations arising from the forwarding contract — e.g. proper acceptance and handover of a shipment or verification of an instruction from the customer’s authorised person — for which we may process identification data, contact data and transaction data. Providing the customer’s personal data is a contractual obligation; providing the personal data of shipment recipients is voluntary, but without it we could not perform the contract with the client effectively and safely. We make sure our customers are aware of their obligation to provide us with recipient data that is obtained and processed in accordance with the GDPR, is accurate, corresponds to the stated purpose and is limited to the extent necessary to fulfil that purpose, so that Takecars may legitimately use it in providing its services.

For the purpose of establishing, maintaining and deepening business relationships and contacts with our business partners, customers and potential customers — for example, sending commercial as well as non-commercial communications — we may process the identification and contact data of statutory representatives and authorised or contact persons of customers. We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interests and, in addition to the above reasons, also for possible complaint procedures and court disputes.

Czech legislation also obliges us to process personal data in certain cases. This typically concerns retaining data as required by law (tax and customs regulations).

We process our employees’ personal data for the purpose of fulfilling the employer’s legal obligations and maintaining HR and payroll records. In the case of a successful job applicant, we process the applicant’s personal data for our recruitment needs so that we may, where applicable, sign an employment contract with the applicant.

The personal data we process about employees, statutory representatives, contact and authorised persons, customers or potential customers is obtained first and foremost directly from the data subject. All of the above personal data arising from our mutual communication and interaction is governed by an internal personal data protection system in line with applicable legislation. We therefore control access to personal data, the technical measures securing it and the period of its existence to the maximum extent.

At the same time, we guarantee that our processing of personal data does not involve transfers to third countries outside the European Union or to international organisations. Nor is any processing carried out by means of automated decision-making or profiling.

03Transfers of personal data

We use personal data exclusively to provide our services, protect it against misuse and do not pass it to third parties without prior notice or consent. The exceptions are external entities that provide support services for us, and public authorities. We may or must provide your personal data to these, to the minimum extent, for example in connection with:

We provide personal data to appointed processors on the basis of our instructions. We contractually require all of these service providers (other than public authorities) to process your personal data in accordance with the data protection terms of the concluded contracts and applicable legislation. We always make sure not to provide more data than is necessary to achieve the given processing purpose.

04Retention period and manner of storage

We process and store the personal data of customers and third parties for the time strictly necessary to secure all rights and obligations arising from the contract, and further for the period we are required to retain the data under generally binding legislation.

In general, personal data processed on the basis of legitimate interest is used and retained for the duration of:

After this period we are entitled to process your personal data only for compatible purposes or for special purposes (archiving or statistics).

We store personal data electronically exclusively on the company’s servers or with our trusted partners, and physically only on the company’s premises under the supervision of responsible persons.

05Changes to this policy

We review this document regularly and reserve the right to change it. If changes are made that affect your rights, we will notify you in an appropriate manner.
