2.3. Special Categories of Data

We do not intentionally collect special categories of data (Article 9 GDPR — including information about political views). We process data from your comments based on Article 9(2)(e) GDPR — data manifestly made public by the data subject. We urge users not to leave information in public comments that could lead to your identification or put you at risk. We ourselves try to remove such information during comment moderation, even if the user inadvertently posted it. Comment moderation rules are available near the comment submission form.

3. Purposes of Data Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• ensuring the operation and security of the website;
• providing website content and functionality;
• collecting visitor statistics;
• improving user experience;
• preventing abuse and protecting against attacks;
• displaying and measuring advertising effectiveness;
• administering comments and feedback.

4. Principles of Processing

We guarantee that personal data is processed in accordance with applicable law, in particular:

• in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency;
• only to the extent necessary to achieve the stated purposes;
• only for legitimate purposes that we have specified, without using them in any other way incompatible with these purposes;
• only for the period necessary to achieve the purposes (or within the periods provided by law);
• with ensuring an adequate level of security.

Automated decision-making and profiling. We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal consequences or significantly affect user rights. Automated processes are used only for traffic analytics, ensuring security, website operation, and preventing abuse.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data on the following grounds:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent: optional cookies, analytics (Google Analytics), advertising services (Google), social media page statistics.
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — fulfillment of user request: processing of inquiries, messages via forms, comments.
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest: ensuring website security, preventing abuse and attacks, basic server logs for security and diagnostics. These legitimate interests consist of protecting infrastructure and users from unauthorized access and abuse.
• Art. 9(2)(e) GDPR: processing of special categories of data manifestly made public by the data subject (see p. 2.3).

Consent can be withdrawn at any time; withdrawal does not affect the legality of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use several categories of cookies:

Optional (analytical and advertising) cookies are set only after receiving your consent via the consent management banner (CMP). You can change or withdraw consent at any time.

The retention period for cookies depends on their type, purpose, and service provider. A detailed description of cookies and their retention periods is included in the Cookie Policy.

Web analytics. We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect aggregated statistics on website traffic and behavior. Google Analytics is collected only after receiving your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). GA4 does not record or store full user IP addresses.

Regarding Google's analytical data, Google acts as our processor based on a data processing agreement; for certain of its own purposes, Google may act as an independent controller according to its terms. Additional information about Google's data processing and how to opt out: policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising. Advertisements are displayed on the website via Google services. To select and measure the effectiveness of ads, Google and its partners use cookies and similar identifiers. Regarding this data, Google acts as an independent controller and also processes it for its own purposes according to its privacy policy.

Advertising cookies are set only after receiving your consent via the consent management banner. You can choose personalized or non-personalized advertising and withdraw consent at any time. Additional information on advertising settings: adssettings.google.com.
