VR Force, s.r.o. processes the personal data of data subjects on the basis of special regulations and for the purposes set by the Controller. The legal basis for the processing of personal data (including their disclosure to third parties) is the statutory obligation under Article 6(1) of the Regulation.

When processing personal data, we proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation and the law to ensure the protection of the privacy and confidential information and personal data entrusted to us.
