In case you are a partner providing add-ons available on Shoptet's add-on marketplace, you may process personal data of Shoptet's customers or personal data for which Shoptet's customers are the data controller.

If you are an employee of a company with which Shoptet has a non-solicitation agreement, your data will be processed for the duration of such agreement.

Recipients of personal data

Your personal data is safe with Shoptet and you can be sure that it is not being passed on to just anyone. Personal data is only disclosed to authorised Shoptet’s employees, including freelancers who access the data to assist Shoptet in the operation of the company and the provision of services, or to individual processors and data controllers, and only to the extent necessary to fulfil the individual purposes of the processing.

The aim of these collaborations is to provide the best and most relevant services to you. Service providers may only use the data thus obtained on the basis of a data transfer agreement or data processing agreement between such recipients and Shoptet.

These are in particular:

  • freelancers involved in the development and maintenance of our products (IT, marketing, data);
  • companies involved in securing payments (payment gateways, banks, LogiCall);
  • providers of the features and add-ons you use in our products and services (carriers, Dotidot);
  • e-mailing service provider (Hubspot);
  • server provider (VSHosting);
  • providers of advertising and analytics systems (Google, Facebook, Seznam, Mixpanel);
  • operators of applications used internally by Shoptet (Salesforce, Recruitee, Slack, Asana, Miro, Slab, DocuSign, Wflow, Spinoco, Figma, MS Office, Keboola, PBI, Metabase, Userpilot);
  • data recipients in connection with the use of online analytical, statistical, marketing and remarketing tools (see list below);
  • and others, if we agree on them in the framework of cooperation (Domio).

If your personal data is transferred outside the European Union, this is done using appropriate transfer mechanisms, including appropriate prior assessments and appropriate security measures. The EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is generally used whenever Shoptet transfers personal data to the United States, as well as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) issued by the European Commission when personal data is transferred to other third countries.

Further information or a list of recipients will be provided by Shoptet upon request.

Your rights

If you need to discuss anything about your personal data, you can contact Shoptet by email at   info@shoptet.cz  or by phone at 604 600 444. . Shoptet has appointed a Data Protection Officer who can be contacted by email at  DPO@shoptet.cz.

There is no automated decision-making and profiling on the side of Shoptet.

The GDPR, which regulates the area of personal data, gives you, among other things, a number of rights in relation to the processing of personal data. These include the right to:

  • access to personal data: to obtain confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed; if so, you have the right to receive a copy of such personal data and, in addition, certain other information, including the purposes of the processing, the categories of recipients, the expected retention period and the existence of automated decision-making (including profiling); once your identity has been verified, this statement will be provided to you in a secure manner and in a comprehensible and easily accessible form;
  • rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data: to update or complete information about your person to ensure that the information managed is always correct;
  • delete personal data: request that your personal data be erased without undue delay if (i) the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, (ii) you object to the use of the personal data and there are no longer any overriding legitimate grounds for further processing, (iii) the processing is based solely on your consent and you withdraw that consent, or (iv) the erasure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or if the personal data has been processed in breach of the law;
  • restrict the processing of personal data: request restriction of the processing of your personal data if (i) you believe that your personal data is incorrect and have therefore requested that it be rectified (in which case you may request restriction of the processing until it is verified that the personal data is indeed incorrect), (ii) the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you do not consent to the erasure of the personal data but instead request, the use of that personal data is restricted, (iii) you request that your personal data is usable for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims even if Shoptet no longer needs it for the purposes of its processing, or (iv) while awaiting verification that Shoptet's legitimate grounds outweigh the rights and freedoms of the individual where you have objected to the processing;
  • data portability: to obtain the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller for processing; this right applies in cases where the processing of your personal data is based on the lawful ground that you have given your consent to this processing or that you have entered into a contract with Shoptet and the processing is carried out by automated means;
  • object to the processing, after which the processing of personal data will be terminated, unless it is demonstrated that there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular if the ground is the possible enforcement of legal claims;
  • lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, which in the Czech Republic is Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů (www.uoou.cz) and in the Slovak Republic Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov (https://dataprotection.gov.sk/sk/).
  • Provisions on the processing of personal data of which you are the controller (data processing agreement):

    If Shoptet is a processor of personal data for which you are the controller under the GDPR, the following data processing terms and conditions (processing agreement) apply to Shoptet

    1. Shoptet may process personal data for the client that is stored in Shoptet products or to which Shoptet has access for the purpose of developing/improving/maintaining services for the client. This most often includes customer data such as first name, last name, customer delivery addresses, IP addresses, contact details (phone number, email address), purchase and inquiry data, or data related to purchases.
    2. Shoptet will process personal data solely for the purpose of providing its products and services and improving them, or resolving your requests and correcting errors in services and products, unless we agree otherwise on an individual basis. Shoptet will process data for the client for the duration of the provision of its Shoptet products and services in which the data is located. The data is managed by the client, and Shoptet works with it solely on the basis of the client's instructions.
    3. Shoptet has taken all possible technical, organizational, security, and other measures to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to data, its alteration, destruction, loss, or other unauthorized handling (security breach).
    4. As the controller and processor, we have agreed that Shoptet's liability and obligation to compensate for damage or harm caused by a breach of any obligations agreed in the processing contract, arising from instructions or any other agreement, or resulting for Shoptet from legal regulations, with the exception of harm caused intentionally, gross negligence, or natural human rights, is limited to an amount corresponding to the remuneration that Shoptet received from you for providing (exclusively) its services in the calendar month in which the damage occurred.
    5. In the event that Shoptet discovers a personal data breach, it will first assess the risk that such a breach poses to data subjects. When assessing the risk, Shoptet will take into account, in particular, the intensity of the breach and its possible consequences, the type of personal data affected, and the number of data subjects involved. Given the nature of the processing, the client agrees that Shoptet is best able to determine the likely risk arising from the breach.
    6. As soon as Shoptet discovers a personal data breach, it shall report it to the client without undue delay and take appropriate corrective measures to mitigate or eliminate the adverse effects resulting from the breach. In addition to reporting the breach to the client, Shoptet may also report the breach directly to the supervisory authority or notify the data subjects if, based on a risk assessment, Shoptet concludes that the breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subjects concerned. Shoptet will only report or notify the security breach on behalf of the client if (a) it notifies the client of this intention, and (b) the client does not express their disagreement in writing within the specified time limit (typically 48 hours, in order to comply with the deadlines set out in the GDPR) with Shoptet making such a notification to the supervisory authority or data subjects on behalf of the client. If the client does not express its disagreement in writing in a timely manner, Shoptet will notify the supervisory authority and/or data subjects without undue delay, with the proviso that Shoptet may also make such notifications collectively in the event of breaches affecting multiple clients. Shoptet will always inform the client of any notification made to the supervisory authority or data subjects. For this purpose, the client grants Shoptet their express consent, which can only be revoked in writing within the above-mentioned period by expressing their disagreement in writing. Shoptet is not obliged to report or notify a security breach at the client's request if, in Shoptet's assessment, the breach is unlikely to pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
    7. The client acknowledges that they remain fully responsible for reporting or notifying security breaches within the meaning of Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR and that Shoptet does not assume the responsibility of a personal data controller in this regard, in particular for the timeliness and completeness of reports or notifications. At the same time, reporting or notifying a security breach does not constitute an admission of any misconduct or fault on the part of Shoptet, and Shoptet's liability to clients in this regard is excluded (limited) to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.
    8. Shoptet has ensured that employees and other persons authorized to process data process data only to the extent and for the purpose of fulfilling the contract and in accordance with legal regulations.
    9. Shoptet undertakes to correct, update, delete, or move personal data at the client's request (within the scope of product and service functionality).
    10. Shoptet will exercise due care in fulfilling its obligations under the GDPR.
    11. Shoptet may involve another processor in the processing of personal data, in particular providers of IT and marketing services necessary and currently available on the market for the purposes of maintenance, operation, and development of Shoptet products, who meet the standards set by the European Union, without the additional express specific permission of the client.
    12. In the event of implementing an add-on to the Shoptet product, the client acknowledges and agrees that the data will be processed by the provider of such add-on (third party) in accordance with its terms and conditions.
    13. In the event of termination of the provision of Shoptet products in which personal data is stored, Shoptet will cease to actively process personal data and will delete existing (backup) copies within 60 days at the latest, unless legal regulations require their retention (e.g. for criminal proceedings, etc.).
    14. 14. Shoptet undertakes to maintain confidentiality regarding the data, in particular, it may not disclose, disseminate, or transfer it to persons other than employees or other authorized persons. Shoptet shall ensure that its employees and other authorized persons also comply with the confidentiality obligation. This obligation of Shoptet shall continue even after the termination of mutual cooperation.
    15. 15. Shoptet is also obliged to maintain confidentiality regarding the security measures taken to ensure the protection of personal data, even after the termination of mutual cooperation.

This includes, for example, your preferred language or the region where you are located. They also help us to improve the way the Website works, for example by making it easy for users to find what they are looking for. We also use these tools to analyze and regularly improve the functionality of our Websites.

    You acknowledge that the analysis of your e-shop administration behavior is carried out by Shoptet on the basis of legitimate interest, by means of tools designed for this purpose, in order to improve the services offered, to carry out statistics and to analyze the use of individual parts of the administration..

Processing for these purposes is only carried out on the basis of your consent.

The respective processing is carried out directly by the partner and information about its purposes or further details are available in the respective information materials of the partner or on request directly from the partner.

    Shoptet also uses Google Tag Manager on the Website (more information on privacy security HERE). It is a technical platform that facilitates the provision and management of other web services and programs for tracking Internet sites using so-called "tags". In this context, Google stores cookies on your device and analyses the use of tools to track your browsing behavior. This data sent by the individual tags is combined under a single user interface, stored and processed. In particular, data such as your IP address and your user activity are transmitted to a Google server as part of your use of the Website by activating Google tags, which may also be processed and stored outside the EU, e.g. in the USA, subject to compliance with the relevant security standards. The tracking tools used within Google Tag Manager ensure that the source codes are anonymized before transmission using Google's address manager. Thus, Google Tag Manager can only collect IP addresses anonymously through so-called IP masking.
