3. Purposes and legal bases of processing

• Operating the platform and providing membership services (profile, messages, event calendar, marketplace). Legal basis: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Displaying your profile to other members for networking. Legal basis: performance of a contract. You control the visibility of your contact details in the settings.
• Sending service notifications and emails (new messages, events, weekly summary). Legal basis: performance of a contract or legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Notifications can be turned off in the settings.
• Measuring clicks in emails from the platform. Links in emails go through a tracking address on our domain networkingplus.cz and we record which link you clicked and when. This helps us understand which emails are useful to members and improve them accordingly. We do not measure email opens. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). You have the right to object to this processing. You will find how to do so in section 8 “Your rights”.
• Features of the AI assistant Evelyn, namely help with the texts in your profile and transcribing details from a business card. Legal basis: performance of a contract. We process inputs only to the extent necessary for the response and we do not store conversations with Evelyn.
• Recommending members who are a good match for you. We calculate the similarity of profiles and each recommendation comes with a one-sentence explanation. Legal basis: performance of a contract. We work with the texts in your profile and your first name, not with your contact details.
• The Ruka lídra diagnostic and sending its result. Legal basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• Compliance with legal obligations (accounting, taxes). Legal basis: Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
• Protection of legal claims and platform security. Legal basis: legitimate interest.

4. Recipients and processors of personal data

We use the following processors and service providers to operate the platform:

• Juraj Málik, author of the Ruka lídra methodology, and his team: a copy of the diagnostic result based on your consent (recipient, not processor).

We do not pass personal data to any other third parties for their marketing purposes. The exception is the result of the Ruka lídra diagnostic. Based on your consent, we pass it to the author of the methodology and his team, and they may contact you with their own offer.

5. Transfers to third countries

Some providers are based outside the EU. Transfers to the United Kingdom are based on the European Commission's adequacy decision. Transfers to providers in the USA take place under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or, where applicable, the EU standard contractual clauses.

6. The Ruka lídra diagnostic

You can complete the Ruka lídra diagnostic even without registering. We store your name, email, your answers and the calculated score. We send the result to the address you provide and pass a copy to Juraj Málik, the author of the methodology, and his team. They may contact you. The legal basis is your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form.

Below the result, you can talk about it with the guide Evelyn, who is powered by a language model. We process the content of the conversation only so that a response can be generated, and we do not store it in the database. In addition, we measure the steps in the diagnostic, namely views, starts, completions and submissions. No name or email is stored with these records, only a random session identifier.

If you answer the optional open questions below the result, your answers are stored with your result, the guide processes them for the conversation about it, and we do not pass them to the author of the methodology or to anyone else.

7. Retention period

We keep the data for as long as your membership or registration lasts. After it ends, we erase or anonymise the data within 1 year at the latest, except for data that we are required by law to keep longer (e.g. accounting and tax documents for up to 10 years) or that is necessary for the protection of legal claims (at most for the statutory limitation periods).

8. Your rights

You have the right of access to your data, the right to rectification or erasure, to restriction of processing, to data portability, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest and the right to withdraw any consent you have given. You can exercise your rights at kamila@bforb.cz. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection (Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), Pplk.
