DEFINITIONS

“Regulation” – The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 from April 27, 2016. The aim of this European legislative act is to protect the “rights and freedoms” of individuals and ensure that personal data is not processed without their knowledge, and where possible, is processed with their consent.

“Personal data” – Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (“data subject”); an identifiable individual is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that individual.

“Special categories of personal data” – Personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or membership in trade unions, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the unique identification of an individual, data related to health or data regarding the sexual life or sexual orientation of an individual.

“Processing” – Any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether by automated means or otherwise, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making data available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

“Data controller” – Any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by EU law or the law of a member state, the data controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for in EU or member state law.

“Data subject” – Any living individual whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

“Data subject’s consent” – Any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, by which they, through a statement or clear affirmative action, consent to the processing of their personal data.

“Child” – The General Regulation defines a child as any person under the age of 16. Processing of personal data of a child is lawful only if the child’s parent or guardian has given consent. The data controller makes reasonable efforts to verify that the holder of parental responsibility for the child has given or is authorized to give consent.

“Profiling” – Any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects related to a natural person, and specifically to analyze or predict aspects concerning the performance of the individual’s professional duties, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

“Recipient” – A natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. Public authorities who may receive personal data in the course of a specific inquiry in accordance with EU law or the law of a member state are not considered “recipients”; processing of such data by those public authorities is subject to applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

“Third party” – Any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the data controller, the data processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the data controller or the data processor, are authorized to process personal data.

PRINCIPLES

When collecting and processing personal data, we are guided by the following principles: lawfulness, fairness, transparency; purpose limitation; data minimization; accuracy; storage limitation; integrity and confidentiality; accountability.


DATA SUBJECTS WHOSE DATA WE PROCESS

In connection with its activities, “IMG CONNECT” Ltd. enters into and executes distance contracts, reviews job applications and offers, user rights exercise forms, as well as data subject requests, responds to inquiries, issues and receives invoices, processes statistical data, manages a user panel on the website, and conducts advertising activities through campaigns (promotions, games, etc.). In the course of these activities, IMG CONNECT processes information related to the following data subjects:


PERSONAL DATA WE PROCESS

Depending on the reason for processing personal data, the types of data may vary. The functionalities provided on the website are not intended for the storage and processing of special categories of data within the meaning of Articles 9 and 10 of the Regulation. (Note! Read Articles 9 and 10 of the Regulation here). We only require personal data that is necessary for providing the activity/service/product we offer. In the course of using the website, we may also process other data that does not contain personal data but relates to the subject, such as their IP address, activity data on the website, etc.

Data Provided During Event Registration

To fulfill the distance contract entered into between you and IMG CONNECT for participation in an event, we require certain information from you. You decide whether and how to use the options to enter into a distance service contract provided through the Website or Facebook page. In the forms where personal data is entered, we clearly mark the mandatory or voluntary nature of providing the data. Data that is mandatory is data without which we cannot enter into the respective contract. These are: name, email address, delivery address, contact phone number, your payment information (e.g., bank card), billing data, including your ID number if you want an invoice issued to an individual. If you provide data about third parties who will receive the order (e.g., in the case of gift orders or other types of donations), you are responsible for providing this data to those third parties.

Data Provided During Website Registration

If you choose to store your information in the Website through registration of a profile, we store the above-mentioned data as well as the order history for each registered account. The required data corresponds to those requested during an order. Additionally, we process the IP address, activity data (e.g., registration time, acceptance of the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, account login, etc.).

Data Provided During the Conclusion of Other Contracts

In cases where IMG CONNECT enters into other contracts with individuals, different from distance sales, we require the full name, personal identification number, address, and email address.

Data Provided by, Through, and to Other Websites and Applications (Third Parties)

In certain cases, you may have the opportunity to share information with social networks or use their websites to create your profile or link your profile on our website with the respective social network. In such cases, the social network may provide us automatic access to certain personal information they have collected about you (e.g., content you have viewed, content you want, and information about ads you have been shown or clicked, etc.). By linking your social network profile with your account on our website, you allow us to access your personal data processed by the respective social network and to collect, use, and store this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The linking of your social network profile to our website registration occurs if you click on a link provided to create registration via social media, thereby voluntarily establishing a connection with the respective social media site.

If you provide your personal data to IMG CONNECT via Viber, Skype, Facebook, or another platform/social network, we inform you that these platforms/websites/social networks have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies as their processing cannot be controlled by IMG CONNECT. Therefore, we recommend that you check these policies before submitting your personal data to us via these websites/applications.

Data Provided When Posting a Comment, Review, or Publication

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored along with your name if you have entered that information. This is for the security of the website operator. If your text violates the law, the operator may need to trace your identity. Additionally, IMG CONNECT has an obligation to store this data (referred to as “traffic data”) for specific periods and for specific purposes, as outlined below. Since sending comments, inquiries, and other messages to the website, Facebook page/group, or their administrators constitutes sending an electronic statement, according to the Electronic Document and Electronic Certification Services Act (“EDES”), the administrator is obliged to maintain logs of the submission for a period of 1 year. The log contains the date of the statement, name, and email address of the sender.

Employee and Job Application Data

We process data when entering into employment contracts and when evaluating and processing job applications. When entering into employment contracts, we require the full name, personal identification number (EGN), address, age, gender, educational background, work experience, and bank details. Subsequently, we process health-related data. When processing CVs, we handle personal information such as names, addresses, email addresses, age, gender, education, work experience, photographs, and data voluntarily provided by the applicant during the interview or in the CV.

Data Provided for Correspondence, Complaints, and Reports

In order to resolve submitted complaints, reports, disputes, inquiries, requests, or other matters communicated to IMG CONNECT through electronic forms on the website, via phone calls to IMG CONNECT, or via regular or electronic mail, IMG CONNECT LTD stores and processes this information, as well as the results of this processing. This may include names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses.

Additionally, due to the fact that sending comments, inquiries, and other messages to the website, Facebook page, or administrators constitutes an electronic statement under the Law on Electronic Documents and Electronic Signature Services (“ZEDES”), we are required to maintain a log of the fact that the statement was sent (without its content) for a period of 1 (one) year. The log contains the date of the statement, the sender’s name and email address, and identification of the sender.

If you provide us with personal information about someone else, you must do so only with the authorization of that person. You must inform them about how we collect, use, disclose, and store their personal information in accordance with our current Privacy Policy.

Technical Data Collected During the Use of the Website

In addition, we collect information from your computer, phone, tablet, or other devices you use. This information may include the following:

It is possible that we may choose to reduce the volume of data we store and process, depending on the purposes of the processing.

We do not require and will not collect or process personal data that reveals: race or ethnic origin; political, religious, or philosophical beliefs; membership in trade unions; genetic or biometric data; data concerning health, or data concerning sexual life or sexual orientation. If a subject voluntarily provides such categories of data, IMG CONNECT LTD is not responsible for the provision but is only obliged to apply the same protective measures as those for the required personal data. We do not transfer data to third countries. Additionally, we do not make automated decisions regarding personal data and do not process data of persons under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16, you should not provide us with personal data about yourself.

For what purposes do we process your data?

The main purpose for which IMC CONNECT processes your personal data is generally related to providing services through the Website and social networks, namely entering into distance sales contracts and delivering the goods and services you have ordered, as well as accounting for revenue.

Typically, we request such consent when we wish to process your personal data without a legal obligation or legitimate interest for IMC CONNECT. Such consent is usually required when we wish to inform you about new promotions, products, etc.

Retention period of your personal data

When storing data, we apply the general principle of storing data in minimal volumes and for no longer than necessary to provide the services and fulfill the contracts, ensure their security and reliability, and comply with legal requirements. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this “Privacy Policy,” unless required by law or based on our legitimate interest to retain it for a longer period.

You may always request that we delete certain information or close your account, and we will respond to this request by retaining specific information, even after the account is closed, if applicable legislation or legal interests require it.

For the purpose of ensuring the reliability of services and protecting against data loss for technical reasons, the Website implements a data backup policy. The maximum period for data updates (deletion of data) from all backup copies is 30 days.

Do We Share Your Personal Data with Third Parties?

“IMG CONNECT” Ltd., and the Website, do not share your personal data with third parties unless there is a legal basis for doing so—such as a legal or contractual obligation, legitimate or vital interests, or your consent. We strive to minimize the personal data we disclose, and this is always directly related and necessary for achieving a specific purpose. We do not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing and advertising purposes without your consent. We guarantee that access to your data by third-party private entities is carried out in accordance with the legal provisions in the area of data protection and information confidentiality, based on agreements concluded with them.

We may disclose your personal data when we are subject to a legal obligation. In certain cases, “IMG CONNECT” Ltd. is required to disclose your data to public authorities such as the police, prosecutors, or courts in connection with preventing or investigating crimes. This includes the exchange of information with other companies and organizations to protect against fraud and reduce credit risk. Please be aware that if the police or another regulatory or state authority investigating alleged illegal activities requests your personal data or any other information we have received about you, we are entitled to provide it once we verify the legitimacy of the request from the state authorities. When we receive revenue from sales, we may be obligated by tax authorities to provide sales data containing information from your orders, including personal data. In this regard, we share your data with the accounting firms we work with. It is the legal obligation of the Website and IMG CONNECT to protect the security of networks and data processed by the company. Accordingly, we implement a series of measures, the execution of which may require processing your data by IT companies that manage security within our company.

We may have a contractual obligation to provide your data if you enter into a distance sales contract with us, under which we are required to deliver the goods or services you requested via courier. The same applies if you choose to purchase, pay for, or order a product or service on our Website through payment, credit, or banking services, where you personally share your data or entrust us with doing so. If you choose to insure a product/service during the purchase on the Website, your data will be shared with the insurance companies. If we install a purchased product through a subcontractor, we may share your data with them to perform the service/guarantee.

Our legitimate interest justifies, in certain cases, sharing your personal data with third parties. Such a case would be when proceedings are initiated before the Personal Data Protection Commission, the Consumer Protection Commission, and other state authorities. Legitimate interest exists for IMG CONNECT Ltd. when we engage other companies or individuals to perform certain tasks on our behalf, complementing our services, under data processing agreements. We would always like you to be informed of the best offers for the products/services you are interested in. In this regard, we may share certain of your data—only with your explicit consent—with providers of marketing/telemarketing services and other companies with which we may develop joint programs to market our goods and services.

Our website may also contain links to and from third-party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please be aware that these websites have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any information to these websites. Our site uses YouTube LLC, represented by Google Inc., to integrate videos. Typically, when you visit an embedded video page, your IP address will be sent to YouTube, and “cookies” will be installed on your device. However, our YouTube videos are embedded in “enhanced privacy mode” (in this case, YouTube is still in contact with Google’s DoubleClick service, but personal data is not used in accordance with Google’s privacy policy). As a result, YouTube does not store any information about visitors unless you view the actual video. If you click on the video, your IP address will be sent to YouTube, and YouTube will know that you have watched the video. If you are logged into YouTube with your user profile, this information will be linked to your profile (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before clicking on the video to view it). We do not have information about the potential collection and use of your data by YouTube. For more information, please see YouTube’s privacy statement at www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

To Which Countries Do We Transfer Your Personal Data?

Currently, we store and process your personal data in Bulgaria.

However, it is possible that some of your personal data may be transferred to entities located within the European Union or outside of it, including countries for which the European Commission has not recognized an adequate level of personal data protection.

We will always take steps to ensure that any international transfer of personal data is carefully managed to protect your rights and interests. Transfers of data to service providers and other third parties will always be secured by contractual obligations and, where appropriate, by other safeguards such as standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission or certification schemes, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield for personal data transfers from the EU to the United States.

You can contact us at any time using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy to find out which countries we transfer your data to and what protective measures we apply in relation to these data transfers.

When there is a risk of a breach of the security of your personal data, the controller is obliged to notify you of the nature of the breach and the measures taken to address it, as well as whether the supervisory authority has been notified of the breach. Additionally, the data subject can request information about all recipients to whom personal data, for which correction, deletion, or restriction of processing is requested, has been disclosed.

Right to Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether your personal data are being processed, access to them, and information regarding the processing method and your rights in relation to it. As a data subject, you have the right to request confirmation of whether your personal data are being processed and, if so, to access your data and obtain the following information: the purpose of processing, what personal data are being processed, the recipients of the data, and the duration of processing. Access requests must be made in written/electronic form and addressed to the controller. In this case, we will provide a copy of the processed personal data in electronic or another suitable form.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to correct and complete your personal data if they are incomplete or inaccurate. For registered users, this option is also available in the user panel on the Website. Unregistered users can obtain this information by making a request to the controller. As a data subject, you have the right to request the correction or completion of personal data that are inaccurate/outdated or incomplete. To do so, you must submit a separate request. Your request will be answered by the controller in writing at the electronic address you provided.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) and Account Closure

As a data subject, you have the right to “be forgotten,” i.e., to request that your personal data be erased without undue delay, meaning the controller must delete your personal data from all systems and records where they are stored, including notifying any third parties/data processors to whom the data have been provided.

If you wish, you have the option to close your account on the website at any time. This option is also available in the user panel on the Website. After closing the account, all or some of your data will be deleted. In relation to our obligations, responsibilities, and legal requirements (e.g., the GDPR or the Electronic Commerce Directive), we may retain certain data for a specific period (see the section above).

To ensure the reliability of services and to protect against data loss due to technical reasons, the Website implements a data backup policy. The maximum update period (deletion of data) from all backup copies is 30 days.

A request for deletion may be submitted on the grounds provided in the Regulation, including in the following cases:

Please note that we may refuse to delete part or all of your personal data in cases where there is a substantial reason and/or legal obligation for their processing. You will be informed promptly about this. The controller may refuse to delete personal data on the grounds set out in the Regulation, when the processing of specific data is necessary:

Right to Restriction of Processing of Personal Data

The General Data Protection Regulation provides the possibility for you to restrict the processing of your personal data if there are grounds for it as provided by the Regulation. Restriction is allowed in the following cases:


Right to Notify Third Parties

If applicable, you have the right to request that the Controller of your personal data notify third parties to whom your data has been provided, regarding the correction, deletion, or restriction of processing of your personal data.


Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data, which concerns you and which you have provided, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from our side, provided that the processing is based on consent or contractual obligation or that the processing is carried out by automated means.

Important: The responsibility for storing the exported data from the Website, as well as for any consequences of providing them to other controllers, is entirely yours.


Right Not to Be Subject to a Decision Based Solely on Automated Processing

You have the right not to be subject to such automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal consequences for you or significantly affects you in a similar manner, unless there are grounds for such processing as specified in applicable data protection law, and appropriate safeguards are provided for the protection of your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests.


Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent, which you have previously given in connection with the processing of personal data based on your prior consent, at any time. Such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent before the withdrawal. For services such as email subscription to advertisements, which are based on your consent (subscription), there is an option to unsubscribe at any time (withdraw consent). In the case of withdrawal of consent, we have the right to verify the identity of the requestor to establish the identity of the person for whom the data pertains.


Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of data based on legitimate interest. If such an objection is made, we will review your request and, if it is justified, we will implement it. If we believe that there are compelling legal grounds for processing or that the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, we will inform you about it.


Right to File a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

You have the right to file a complaint against our company (data controller) with the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of personal data relating to you violates applicable data protection law. The supervisory authority in Bulgaria is the Commission for Personal Data Protection, located at Sofia 1592, Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov Blvd. № 2, email: kzld@cpdp.bg, website: www.cpdp.bg, phone: 02 915 3 518.


How to Exercise Your Rights. Deadlines for Response

You can exercise the above rights free of charge at any time, by email or request sent to the contact addresses specified in the contact form on the Website or at the end of this Privacy Policy. You can address your requests to both the controller and directly to the Data Protection Officer. Requests must be made in a way that allows the identification of the requestor’s identity. For some rights, there may be technical means available for exercising them, such as an unsubscribe button. In any case, the controller must respond to the request or address the exercise of the right to the provided address (including email) within one month from its receipt.

If you exercise these rights in an obviously unfounded or excessive manner, particularly due to their repetitiveness, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee, taking into account administrative costs for providing the information or communication or taking the requested actions, or to refuse to take action on the request. We will inform you of our fees, if applicable, before responding to your request.

ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

We do not take responsibility for the accuracy of the information you provide, and we do not perform checks in this regard. We do not guarantee the actual identity of individuals providing the data. In cases of doubt, fraud detection, or abuse, please notify us immediately. You are obligated, when providing any information on the Website, not to infringe on the rights of others in relation to the protection of their personal data or other rights.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS

SECURITY MEASURES

To ensure the best possible protection of the company’s and our clients’/users’/contractors’/visitors’ data on the Website, WE apply all necessary organizational and technical measures provided in the General Data Protection Regulation and the Personal Data Protection Act, as well as best practices from international standards. We apply the appropriate level of protection, and for this purpose, we have developed effective physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to protect the data we collect from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

We store your data on secure servers, using the latest encryption algorithms and ensuring the storage of backup copies.

The company has adopted the necessary rules and procedures related to the lawful processing of your personal data, including an Action Plan for data security breaches, has established structures for preventing abuse and security breaches, and has designated a Data Protection Officer who supports the processes of lawful processing, safeguarding, and ensuring the security of your data.

Access to your personal data is granted only to those employees, service providers, or affiliated persons on a need-to-know basis for business purposes or who require it to fulfill their duties. All employees/workers are required to be trained and accept the relevant contractual clauses/declarations/rules for compliance with organizational and technical access control measures before being granted access to any type of information.

A principle in our structure is that all employees/workers are responsible for ensuring the security of the data they handle, which we process, and that the data is securely stored and not disclosed under any circumstances to third parties, unless we have granted such rights to the third party by entering into a contract/confidentiality clause. In this regard, all personal data is accessible only to those who need it, and access can only be granted in accordance with established access control rules. All personal data is treated with the utmost security and stored:

Personal data is deleted or destroyed only in accordance with internal procedures for data retention and destruction.

For maximum security in processing, transferring, and storing your data, we may use additional protection mechanisms such as encryption, pseudonymization, and backup technology for backup copies.

We use a payment service for processing payments. All payment information is encrypted using SSL technology.

When you post on forums, chat rooms, or social media services, the personal information you share is visible to other users and may be read, collected, or used by them. In these cases, you are responsible for the personal information you choose to provide.

Despite the measures we implement to protect your personal data, we acknowledge that, in general, the transmission of information over the Internet or other public networks is not completely secure, and there is a risk that data may be viewed and used by unauthorized third parties. We cannot take responsibility for vulnerabilities in systems that are not under our control. In the event of a data breach involving personal data, we guarantee that we will comply with all applicable notification requirements in such cases.
