Privacy policy / GDPR

Applications according to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the Protection of Natural Persons with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of Such Data, and Repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as GDPR) may be submitted only if they relate to the data subject. Data relating to other persons or deceased persons cannot be required. Requests for consulting archival records, including requests for searches, are subject to the procedures pursuant to the Act No. 499/2004 Coll. and Decree No. 645/2004 Coll. and in some cases are charged.

See: Written inquiries and searches

Archival records stored in the Archives are in accordance with point (d) of Article 17(3) excluded from the possibility of exercising the right to be forgotten and therefore no data may be removed (deleted) at the initiative of the data subject. Permanent storage for archival purposes is not contrary to the GDPR.

When submitting an application under the GDPR, the data subject shall provide data which will allow it to be unequivocally identified in order to prevent the data being provided to a wrong person. Since the GDPR does not regulate the identification of the applicant, the Archives requests this information in the usual structure, i.e. name, surname, date of birth, permanent address or place of residence, or delivery address if different from the permanent address or place of residence.

Replies under the GDPR (especially according to Articles 15 to 21) shall be sent by the Archives exclusively by data box, if the applicant has it set up, or through a postal service provider, to the applicant’s own hands.
