DIGI-SI Personal Data Protection Statement

DIH Slovenia, as the operator of the DIGI-SI website, recognises the importance of protecting users’ personal data. Together with the project partners, it therefore ensures the secure, responsible and appropriate handling of personal data. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about the manner in which personal data is collected, processed, used and protected, as well as about individuals’ rights in relation to the processing of personal data.

The DIGI-SI project activities are also carried out in cooperation with the project partners: the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, the Jožef Stefan Institute, ARCTUR d.o.o., Technology Park Ljubljana, ITC – Innovation Technology Cluster Murska Sobota, Pomurje Technology Park, the University of Maribor and the University of Ljubljana.

The controller and the project partners undertake to handle personal data in accordance with the applicable legislation governing personal data protection, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Slovenian Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2), and other applicable legislation.

What is personal data?

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes data on the basis of which an individual can be identified directly or indirectly.

Personal data primarily includes name and surname, email address, telephone number, organisation name, job title, IP address, and other data provided by the user through the website or in connection with the use of DIGI-SI project services.

As part of the implementation of project activities and services, data about companies or organisations may also be collected, such as company name, registered office, tax number, registration number, company size, field of activity, and other data required for the provision of project services, project administration, preparation of reports, verification of eligibility for participation in project activities, or the implementation of other DIGI-SI project activities.

How and for how long do we store personal data?

Personal data obtained through the website or in connection with the provision of DIGI-SI project services is stored in electronic databases and other appropriately protected information systems.

Collected personal data is stored for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, or until the user withdraws their consent where the processing is based on consent. Data may also be stored for a longer period where required by applicable legislation, project financing rules, reporting obligations or audit procedures.

All databases are appropriately protected and secured in accordance with applicable legislation and good information security practices.

Processing and use of personal data

Personal data may be collected, managed and processed:

  • on the basis of the individual’s explicit consent;
