“Personal data” means any information relating to a natural person who has been or can be identified based on such data. Personal data are all data relating to an individual whose identity has been or can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to additional identifiers or by reference to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that individual.

Personal data can be collected and processed when you have been made aware of it and when there is a valid legal basis to do so.

A valid basis exists in the following cases:

processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (e.g. data processing when applying for a job, submitting an application in order to exercise various rights, etc.);
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g. transferring data on employees to the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (HZZO) or the Croatian Pension Insurance Institute (HZMO));
processing is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person (e.g. disclosure of employment data in order to exercise the right to child allowance);
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (e.g. due to the official authority of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, we are obliged to submit to the Bureau certain personal data);
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us as the controller, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child (e.g. the legitimate interest of a property owner to install a video surveillance system in order to prevent a real risk to their property);
you have given consent to the processing of personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g. in order to subscribe to a loyalty programme).
