Data Controller and Authorized Data Protection Officer

The personal data controller is Casino Portorož, Inc., Obala 75a, 6320 Portorož, Slovenia.

An authorized data protection officer has been appointed at Casino Portorož, who can be reached at the email address [email protected].

If you have any questions regarding the use of this policy or in connection with the exercise of your rights arising from this policy, please contact the authorized data protection officer.

 

Basic Concepts

Personal data means any information based on which an individual can be identified (including name, surname, email address, telephone number, etc.).

The controller means a legal entity that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

The processor means a legal or physical person who processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Processing means the collection, storage, access, and all other forms of use of personal data.

EEA means the European Economic Area, which includes all EU member states, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein.

SMS and EMAIL notification is an additional benefit offered by Casino Portorož, which an individual can use upon membership or through registration on the website.

Personal data is information that identifies you as a specific or identifiable individual. An individual is identifiable when they can be directly or indirectly determined, especially by specifying an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, online identifier, or by specifying one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of the individual.

The provider, in accordance with the purposes defined in the continuation of this policy, collects the following personal data:

Basic user information (name and surname);

  • Contact details and data on your communication with the controller (email address, telephone number, date, time, and content of postal or email communication, date, time, and content of SMS messages);
  • Channel and campaign – the method of acquiring a member or the source through which the user came into contact with the controller (website and advertising campaign or action, physically in the branch);
  • Data on the user’s use of the controller’s website (dates and times of visits to the website, pages visited or URLs, time spent on each page, number of pages visited, total time spent on the website, settings made on the website) and data on the use of received messages (email, SMS) from the controller;
  • Other data that the user voluntarily provides to the provider upon request for certain services, if these data are necessary for the provision of the service.

Casino Portorož does not collect and process your personal data on the website without your consent. The company also processes your data when there is a legal basis for the collection of personal data, a contractual basis, or when the company has a legitimate interest in processing.

Your personal data is also obtained based on the use of cookies on our website.

Casino Portorož only collects personal data that are relevant and necessary to fulfill the purposes for which these data are processed.

 

Legal Basis for Data Processing

We need your data when it is necessary for the conclusion, execution, and fulfillment of contractual obligations. The provision of personal data is voluntary in this case. If you do not provide personal data, you cannot enter into a contract with the provider, nor can the provider ensure the performance of services or delivery of products.

 

Processing Based on Consent

We process your data when you provide us with explicit consent. When processing is based on consent, we will ensure that you have all the information you need to make your decision. You can revoke your consent at any time. If you revoke your consent, the provider may no longer be able to provide certain services.

 

Processing Based on Legitimate Interest

The provider may also process data based on a legitimate interest, except when such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual whose personal data require protection. In cases of legitimate interest, the provider always conducts an assessment in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation. If processing is based on legitimate interest, the user has the right to object. You can read more about your rights later in this policy.

 

Purposes of Processing Personal Data

Casino Portorož legally sends SMS and email messages to members of the SMS and EMAIL club who have accepted the general terms and conditions. Based on legitimate interest to prepare relevant offers during this messaging, we perform mild segmentation based on certain characteristics such as:

  • Demographic data (gender, age)
  • History of visits to branches
  • Locations

Based on your consent, the company also performs personalized communication via SMS and EMAIL notifications. Because we want to offer you the best possible offers and content tailored exactly to your needs, we create your profile with your consent, which is the basis for personalized communication.

In this process, we do not use any semi-automatic or automatic profiling but simply select appropriate sets of recipients for individual messages. We never focus on individual data, but perform aggregate processing of larger groups.

You can object to segmentation by contacting [email protected].

A favorably resolved objection will not prevent the sending of SMS and EMAIL messages if the individual does not unsubscribe from the SMS and EMAIL club.

Unsubscribing from the SMS club does not prevent the sending of general notifications, provided there is a legal basis for such sending. More about other legal bases and options for sending can be found in the general conditions of the SMS club.

 

Enforcing Legal Claims, Protecting Our Rights, and Resolving Disputes

Personal data for a specified purpose are collected in accordance with the law.

Processing of Personal Data Outside the Purposes of Notification

This privacy policy includes the processing of personal data that occurs when an individual joins the SMS or EMAIL club. However, the company wants to highlight that there is a separate processing of personal data exclusively for existing members of the loyalty club. This means that an individual who has signed up for notifications via the website will continue to receive messages even if registered in the SMS and EMAIL club, but these will not include special benefits available only to club members.

 

Retention of Personal Data

The provider will retain your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which the personal data was collected.

Personal data processed based on the law are kept for a period prescribed by law.

Personal data processed due to the performance of a contractual relationship with an individual are kept for the period necessary to execute the contract and for five years after its termination, except in cases where there is a dispute between you and the company regarding the contract; in such a case, the company keeps the data for five years after a final court or arbitration decision or settlement, or, if no legal dispute occurred, five years from the day of amicable resolution of the dispute.

Personal data processed based on an individual’s consent are kept permanently until the consent is revoked by the individual. The company deletes such data before revocation only when the purpose of processing personal data has been achieved.

After the retention period, the controller effectively and permanently deletes or anonymizes personal data so that they can no longer be linked to a specific individual.

 

Contractual Processing of Personal Data

The provider may entrust certain tasks related to the processing of your data to other persons (contractual processors). Contractual processors may process the entrusted data exclusively on behalf of the provider, within the limits of the provider’s authorization (in a written contract or other legal act), and in accordance with the purposes defined in this privacy policy.

Contractual processors with whom the provider cooperates are:

  • Accounting services; law offices and other legal advisory providers;
  • Data processing and analytics providers;
  • Maintainers of the 4EGI notification system;
  • IT system maintainers;
  • Customer relationship management system providers (e.g., Microsoft);
  • Online advertising solution providers (e.g., Google, Facebook).

The provider will not share your personal data with unauthorized third parties. Contractual processors may only process personal data within the framework of the controller’s instructions and must not use the data to pursue any of their own interests.

 

Data Transfer Restrictions

The controller and personal data users do not transfer data to third countries (outside the European Economic Area – EU member states plus Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein) or to international organizations, except to the USA – all contractual processors in the USA are included in the Privacy Shield program.

 

Freedom of Choice

You control the information you provide about yourself. If you choose not to share your data with the provider, certain services cannot be provided.

 

Security

The provider is committed to ensuring the security of personal data. Your data is continuously protected against loss, destruction, tampering, manipulation, and unauthorized access or disclosure.

For the protection of personal data, we implement organizational and technical measures such as:

Employee training;

  • Monitoring of employees and regular reviews of individual employee performance;
  • Careful selection and supervision of contractual processors;
  • Backing up electronically stored data;
  • Regular maintenance and updating of computer equipment;
  • Adoption of appropriate internal policies and instructions on data protection.

 

Consent of Minors in Relation to Information Society Services

Minors under 18 should not provide any personal data on websites. The company will never knowingly collect personal data from individuals known to be minors (under 18 years old) or use or disclose it to unauthorized third parties.

This does not affect the general contract law of the member states, such as rules on the validity, formation, or effects of a contract in relation to a child. Considering available technology, the provider will reasonably attempt to verify whether the holder of parental responsibility has given or approved consent.
