Data processing related to contractual partners and tenderers participating in a procurement process (communication, implementation of relevant contract, data processing related to persons involved in performance as well as students supplied by student job centres).

Processing data of contractual partners’ contact persons and persons involved in the performance of the contract for the purpose of fulfilling the contract (implementation on a daily level) and exercising rights related to the contract.

Name and contact details (e-mail, telephone number, mobile number, fax number) of contact persons of contractual partners and of persons involved in the performance, and communication containing any personal data related to the contract (e.g. communication received from the contact person or any natural person acting on behalf of the partner).

Data retention period: 5 years from the termination of the contractual relationship.

Processing data of contact persons of contractual partners and of persons involved in the performance for compliance purposes related to the contract or any other actions related to the fulfilment of the contract including finding judicial remedy necessary for ensuring contractual rights.

Name and contact details (e-mail, telephone number, mobile number, fax number) of contact persons of contractual partners and of persons involved in the performance, and communication containing any personal data related to the contract (e.g. communication received from the contact person or any natural person acting on behalf of the partner).

Data retention period: 5 years from the termination of the contractual relationship. 

Assessing the professional competence of colleagues intended to be involved or taking part in the performance of organisations which are providing service for Egis in the course of Egis’s procurements or of tendering organisations participating in the related procurement process as well as students supplied by student job centres.

Personal data disclosed by the data subject (e.g. name, information about qualifications, professional background, professional experience, any personal data given by the data subject in the CV or featured in the document verifying professional competence).

Data retention period: for non-winning tenders 5 years following the conclusion of tendering; for winning tenderers 5 years following the termination of the contractual relationship established with the chosen partner.

Inspecting the presence of persons involved in performance by external contractual partners providing service for Egis on Egis premises as well as students supplied by student job centres (and thus contractual performance) with the help of the data recorded by the registered passes provided by Egis.

Data of movements related to each registered pass (date, time and place of entry/exit) as well as the name of the person entering, the name of the department where this person is performing work on Egis premises and the name of the employer company.

Data retention period: 5 years from the termination of the contractual relationship.

Unless Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code (the ‘Civil Code’) provides otherwise, claims are subject to a period of limitation of 5 years. If Egis indicates the limitation period during which a claim is enforceable as the duration of data processing, an act that interrupts the limitation will extend the duration of processing until the new time limit of the limitation (Civil Code, Section 6:25(2)). If limitation is suspended, the claim shall remain enforceable within one year from the time when the reason for suspension is eliminated or, in respect of a period of limitation of one year or less, within three months even if the period of limitation has already lapsed or there is less than the above periods of time remaining therein (Civil Code, Section 6:24(2)).

In accordance with Act C of 2000 on Accounting (the ‘Accounting Act’), Egis is obliged to retain ‘accounting records’, for example those which comprise documents supporting accounting or which feature in documents related to concluding a contract between Egis and one of its contractual parters (e.g. a contract or order), in documents supporting accounting or in an issued invoice. The 8-year data retention period stipulated in the Accounting Act is to be calculated from the date when an accounting entry connected with the data arises in a given year or when the report/accounting is based on the given data in any way. In practice, when the data appear in a contract under which several orders are made (e.g. advice is provided on a number of occasions under a contract), the 8 years are to be calculated separately from the date of each performance because separate invoices are issued for each performance which are the basis of the given transactions. If, for example, the data appear in a contract which stipulates the sale of a thing (the thing is delivered and thus the contract is discharged by performance), the transaction will be accounted in the given year based on the contract and the invoice, and the aforementioned 8-year period starts from that date.
