How does &bogdan collect your data?

&bogdan collects your data when you fill in paper or electronic forms. Sometimes it occurs through a conversation, business card, contact by phone or e-mail correspondence.

Normally we obtain those data directly from you. Sometimes it occurs that we obtain them indirectly. That is the case with data about partners of suppliers we obtain from the suppliers themselves.

Initially we collect and process your data based on the contractual relation we have with you as a consequence of your commission and the contract we conclude with you. That is as well the foundation for the processing of data of suppliers and for the processing in the context of “accountancy”.

This may however happen in the context of the contracts for cloud services we conclude. In that case your data will possibly be stored on servers of countries to which in principle only we have access. In that case we make sure that the provider of the cloud service is established in a third country with an adequate protection level or that there is an agreement with the provider guaranteeing the protection of your rights.
