1.General information
We consider personal data protection an exceptionally important and basic part of all processes and corporate governance in Weblica. “Personal Data Protection Privacy Policy in Weblica” represents the framework on how we handle all personal data we collect within our business operations. The Policy is applied as of 25 May 2018 and refers to Weblica, and it was adopted as one of the organizational measures for securing compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), (hereinafter Regulation).
We handle all data we access or process with confidentiality and purpose and in accordance with highest security standards.
Responsible for data processing is:

2.Why we adopted the Privacy Policy
We created and adopted this Privacy Policy because we want to secure that Weblica complies with the requirements of:
- Valid legislation for personal data protection;
- Protection of all personal data we come into contact with;
- Openness and transparency towards all users and data subjects on how we store and process personal data;
- Reducing the risk of personal data violation;
- Education and informing our users and data subjects;
- Increasing the transparency of personal data processing.
3.Risks of personal data protection
We protect personal data against risks they are exposed to, and as main risks related to personal data we recognized as follows:
Risk of fair, lawful and transparent processing – with privacy policy and procedures for personal data protection, we want to provide our users and data subjects with the right to fair, legitimate and transparent processing.
Risk of personal data confidentiality – by introducing the functions of the controller and processor (and possibly a personal data protection officer), we want to create a business environment that restricts the ability and the right to access personal information, so that those who do not have the processing authorization will not possess it.
Risk of personal data integrity – by defining the policy and introducing mechanisms for verifying the accuracy and integrity of personal data, the aim is to achieve: security, protection against unauthorized or illegal processing and from accidental loss, destruction or damage by applying appropriate technical or organizational measures.
Risk of personal data availability – in cases where the data storage system is compromised (attacks, inaccessibility, power failure, readability of recorded data, etc.), it is necessary to provide access to backups as well as frequently check them.
Reputational risk – loss or theft of personal data may have a very negative impact on the reputation of the company, and stolen data may be abused, causing substantial damage to users and data subjects.
Risk of compromising data subjects’ rights in case of transfer of data to a third country – personal data may be stored on data carriers located outside the country. In that case, it is necessary to have a clear insight into where the data are located, so that they do not end up with people who should not have access to them.
4.Types of personal data

Basic personal data: Identification data (name, surname, Citizen ID Number, PIN, citizenship, address, photo); Online identifiers (cookies, IP addresses).

The assessment was performed in accordance with the purposes of data processing.
We harmonized our already existing information safety management system with the requirements of the Regulation, whereby we secure an appropriate level of protection of personal data processing methods with the goal of securing that personal data are protected, true and available. During harmonisation with the Regulation, we performed activities by which we met all requirements of the Regulation, about which we inform you by means of this policy and we communicate clearly and transparently all necessary information about the procedures of processing personal data in Weblica.
