Privacy Policy

This privacy policy governs the collection, storage, and processing of personal data collected by KOPA d.d. when you subscribe to receive content such as newsletters, event invitations, publications, and other products offered by KOPA.

Data Controller

The controller of personal data as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable data protection laws is:

KOPA Computer Engineering d.d.
Kidričeva 14, 2380 Slovenj Gradec
Phone: +386 2 88 39 700

Personal Data and Purpose of Processing

If you wish to receive content from KOPA (newsletters, event invitations, publications, and other products), you are required to complete a form/registration on KOPA’s website. By completing and submitting the form/registration, you provide the following contact details to KOPA:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Company of Employment
  • Email Address

The contact information you provide when completing and submitting the form/registration is necessary to process your subscription and to communicate with you regarding the specific newsletters, events, publications, and other products you have subscribed to. If you do not provide the required contact information, we will not process your subscription, and you will not be able to access the desired content.

KOPA respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal data collection, storage, and processing responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. Since KOPA’s online information system includes links to other external websites not directly related to KOPA, we accept no responsibility for the protection of data on these external websites.

To prevent unauthorized access to or disclosure of collected data, maintain data accuracy, and ensure proper use, we employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the data we collect. However, KOPA cannot guarantee complete prevention of potential data misuse, as the internet is an unpredictable medium despite security measures and protocols.

Consent

We process the personal data you provide when subscribing to newsletters, event invitations, publications, and other products with your explicit and unambiguous consent, as per Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To improve the quality of our products and services and for statistical purposes, we also process data on email opens and link clicks related to the emails we send you.

You provide your consent for personal data processing by clicking “submit”/”subscribe”/”register” on the subscription form on KOPA’s website or via the link “Update newsletter preferences and unsubscribe.” You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Update newsletter preferences and unsubscribe” link found at the footer of every email you receive from KOPA or by emailing us at info@kopa.si. Withdrawal of consent will result in KOPA no longer using your personal data to inform you about content (newsletters, events, publications, and other products). However, the withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of personal data processing prior to the withdrawal.

Your Rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to access your personal data, the right to rectification, the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), the right to data portability, the right to restrict the processing of personal data, and the right to object. You can review and update your data at any time by clicking the “Update newsletter preferences and unsubscribe” link.

For exercising your rights or obtaining further information, contact our Data Protection Officer at info@kopa.si. We will process and respond to your request in compliance with GDPR.

If you believe your rights or data protection regulations have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the competent national authority:

Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia
Zaloška 59, 1000 Ljubljana
Phone: +386 1 230 97 30
Fax: +386 1 230 97 78
Email: gp.ip@ip-rs.si

Retention Period for Personal Data

KOPA will retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to send you the content (newsletters, event invitations, publications, and other products) you have subscribed to. If you no longer wish to receive content from KOPA and unsubscribe or withdraw your consent for data processing, your data will be blocked in KOPA’s system and no longer used for that purpose.

The retention period for personal data may vary depending on applicable sector-specific legislation (e.g., tax or accounting regulations). When mandatory retention periods for personal data are specified by applicable laws, KOPA will delete the data after the expiration of the legally prescribed retention period.
