Privacy and cookie notice

This notice explains what data is generated when you use the Discover Sabinov website, why it is processed, and how you can exercise your rights.

Effective from 1 August 2026

1. Controller and data protection officer

The controller of spoznaj.sabinov.sk is the Town of Sabinov, Námestie slobody 57, 083 01 Sabinov, Slovakia, Company ID: 00327735, email: podatelna@sabinov.sk, telephone: +421 51 4880 422.

2. Data processed and purposes

When a page is loaded, technical systems may process the IP address, request date and time, requested URL, response status, and browser and device data. This is necessary to deliver content, operate and secure the service, and diagnose errors. The legal basis is performance of a task in the public interest under Article 6(1)(e) GDPR and the statutory tasks of the town.

If you consent to analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 processes a pseudonymous browser identifier, visited pages and interactions, approximate location, device, and browser data. The purpose is to produce traffic statistics and improve content. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 109(8) of Slovak Act No. 452/2021. Consent is voluntary and the website works without it.

We store your cookie choice in necessary cookies so that the banner is not shown on every visit and your acceptance or rejection is respected.

3. Recipients and international transfers

Authorised hosting, operation, and website maintenance providers may access technical data only where necessary and under the town’s instructions and contractual data protection obligations.

When analytics is enabled, the processor is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google may use further processors and process data outside the European Economic Area. Transfers must be covered by an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards, in particular Standard Contractual Clauses. Ads personalisation and Google signals are disabled in this website’s configuration.

4. Retention

Necessary consent-choice cookies are retained for 12 months. Analytics cookies expire after no more than 13 months. User-level and event-level Google Analytics data is retained for no more than 14 months according to the service setting; aggregate statistics without a direct identifier may be retained longer. Technical logs are retained only as long as necessary for security, diagnostics, and legal obligations.

5. Your rights

Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you have:

  • the right of access and rectification,
  • the right to erasure or restriction where the legal conditions are met,
  • the right to data portability for automated processing based on consent,
  • the right to object to processing based on the public interest,
  • the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing carried out lawfully before withdrawal,
  • the right to lodge a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic, Galvaniho 7/B, 821 04 Bratislava, dataprotection.gov.sk.

6. Automated decisions and notice changes

We do not use website data for automated individual decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

We update this notice when services, settings, or legal requirements change. The current version is always published on this page.

7. Cookies used

Analytics cookies are created only after active consent. Without consent, we use only the necessary cookies that store your choice.
