  • Data can be deleted at any time.

  • Deleted data is automatically moved from the database and is no longer publicly available.

  • It is possible to change the data after the registration has been approved, but due to security reasons, re-checking by the controller will be required before the change is confirmed.

  • The data that is visible only to the controller are: 1. the contact you provided to confirm the registration 2. the IP address from which the consent came 3. the contact e-mail that should have been publicly published on the page, if you selected the "hide" option in continuation of the form "Innovator or Startup"

  • The site's policy is to collect data that is necessary to function for the purpose for which it is described, no more.

  • If the user does not want to be directly contacted by third parties, his contact address will be replaced by ours, and we can only act as intermediaries in case of the interest of a third party or another registered user. We will not disclose the respondent's default contact to a third party unless he/she agrees beforehand.

  • Before the data becomes available on the page, the data controller will review and approve it.

  • During the registration process, it is possible to go back and change items before submitting the application.

  • Startcroatia.com reserves the right to reject an application if it is deemed not to meet the publication criteria or not in good faith.

  • The first version of the page means that upgrades will follow, thus changes, i.e. addition of terms of use clauses. Any change will be announced, or you will be notified via contact e-mail.

  • The rest of the conditions of use and acceptance of consent will be elaborated in the rest of the document.

  • GIVING CONSENT AND ACCEPTING THE PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF USE

  • The consent of the applicant means any voluntary, specific, informed and unambiguous expression of the wish of the respondent by which he gives his consent to the processing of personal data relating to him via a statement or clear affirmative action.

  • By checking the empty icon at the end of the registration form, you agree with the privacy policy and terms of use of the site. This document is considered a description of the privacy policy and terms of use.

  • You give your consent for the following: the completed data, which you filled in the previous registration form, will be publicly published in the form of a registered profile, which you will have access to on the www.startcroatia.com page, in the form you described or entered the available data. Before the profile becomes publicly available, your application will be reviewed and confirmed. Also, you give consent for your available data to be used on the Internet, social networks or other media. For example, just promoting the page www.startcroatia.com indirectly entails other registered data. This is also possible directly, i.e. especially, with your prior approval. Once the registration has been approved, logging into the platform will be enabled via your contact e-mail (the login link will be sent to your default e-mail address each time). The same contact e-mail can be hidden with the "hide" option. In this case, interested parties can contact management@startcroatia.com, and your contact e-mail will remain hidden and visible only to the data controller. You can delete your data at any time, without prior approval. In the absence of an earlier contact, we have the right to check you through the contact specified for registration confirmation. The registration confirmation contact is visible only to the data controller. The consent you give with this confirmation also applies equally to the data that you will be able to edit or add new data in the editing options, after registration. These options are currently under construction and are not yet available except to automatically delete your profile. In the event that your application is not accepted, the data is automatically deleted permanently from the database.

  • You accept the terms of use - everything stated on this particular part of the page or the entire document. That is called "privacy policy and terms of use".

  • Startcroatia.com has an additional level of consent confirmation for users with whom we have not been in contact before and reserves the right to additional checks. For this reason, a contact for confirmation of registration is set, which is visible only to the data controller.

  • Startcroatia.com also reserves the right to ask the user whose application is accepted to make additional edits to the form (in good faith) or to request the removal of any work that is considered inappropriate.

  • This paragraph is written in principle with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679; according to the principle of Article 5 and its points.

  • PROOF OF CONSENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE

  • In order to recognize the legality of data processing in accordance with the decisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, starcroatia.com is obliged to keep the network identifier (IP address) as the basic starting point for proving the legality of consent, which is visible only to the controller, as well as possible other forms of confirmation. The controller cannot use this data for any other purposes.

  • startcroatia.com reserves the right to require additional levels of verification to reduce the risk of possible impersonation. This may include forms of requests for the delivery of written clues, a video call with the requester or searching for the same at other online addresses.

  • When the processing is based on consent, the data controller must be able to prove that the person has given consent to the processing of his personal data.

  • This paragraph is written in principle with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679; according to the principle of Article 5 and its points; of Article 4; items: 1, 11, 14; Article 7; item 1.

  • TRANSPARENCY OF DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURE

  • In order for potential users to be as informed as possible, startcroatia.com will keep the entire application system unlocked, as well as all its steps, so that users have time to think about further steps or how to fill out the form.

  • THE RIGHT TO ACCESS THE PROCESSED DATA THROUGH THE CREATED PROFILE

  • Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects related to an individual.

  • A third party is a physical or legal person, public authority or other body that is not the respondent.

  • By creating a profile, the options you have chosen and the text input of your registration as a respondent, now part of profile, become publicly available to third parties or other registered users.

  • The user has the right to change the content of his data. When a change is made, the administrator automatically receives a notification, reviews the content and confirms the change.

  • This is considered a security step. In case of a suspicious change, the data controller will inform the user about the received request.

  • The user has the right to automatically delete the profile, i.e. data without subsequent permission.

  • If the user has problems logging in to the registered profile or any technical problems, it is necessary to inform the data controller and send your request.

  • The regulation indicates that the time limit of data should be defined. According to the way the platform works, it is reasonable to conclude that it depends solely on the user of the platform, i.e. how long it is in his interest to use this site. If the user does not respond to all allowed for a long time, i.e. available contacts, we reserve the right to remove profiles and data.

  • Since this is the first version of the platform, we ask for your understanding in case of technical difficulties.

  • This paragraph is written in principle with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679; according to the principle of Article 4, items 4,9,10; Article 5; Item: 3; Article 15; Article 16; Article 17 Items 1, 2; Article 19, Article 30 point f)

  • IDENTIFICATION AND ACCURACY OF DATA

  • According to one of the principles of personal data processing, the regulation describes how they must be processed in a way that ensures adequate security of personal data, as well as that they must be kept in a form that enables the identification of the subject only as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed.

  • We do not have the right to ask for personal identification documents and, as far as the regulation allows, identification is reduced to the maximum possible accurate assessment.

  • A certain amount of risk arises from the above, but we try to reduce it as much as possible from the procedures mentioned earlier. For example, double consent, checks on other online sites, request confirmation, requesting contact with the applicant if we have not previously had contact through the registered contact for confirmation of registration.

  • Based on the principle of limitation, we strive to reduce the risk to negligible levels even in the event of a potential error, since we do not request or publish sensitive data.

  • In the event of an error, it must be reported to the data controller and also proven.

  • This paragraph is written in principle with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679; according to the principle of Article 4, points 1, 3, 4, 13; Article 5; Article 32.
