2. Processing of personal data

In its role as controller of personal data, the Company collects personal data in a way that guarantees an acceptable degree of security, like defense against unaccredited or unlawful processing and unintentional loss, harm, or injury, while employing appropriate technological or/and organizational steps in accordance with the principles listed below:

In relation to the data matter, legally, reasonably, and transparently (“lawfulness, justice, and transparency”)
Data is obtained for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes and is not further stored in a way that is incompatible with those purposes (“appropriateness in personal data collection and intent limitation”).
adequate, appropriate, and restricted to the needed for the purposes to which they are processed (“data minimization”)
precise and stored up to date.
storage for no longer than is needed for the needs for which they are used (“storage limitation”)
processed in a way that ensures adequate personal data security, such as protection against improper or unauthorized processing and data leakage, degradation, or harm, using appropriate technological or organizational steps (“integrity and confidentiality”).

We do process personal information when one of the following criteria is met:

Processing is essential for the execution of an agreement or contact with the company of which the data provider is a participant or to carry out measures at the data subject’s request prior to collaborating with us.
Processing is necessary for the execution of any agreement with the Company of which the data subject is a participant or to take action at the data subject’s request prior to signing any agreement with us.
The data subject has provided their permission for their personal data to be used for one or even more particular purposes. When personal data is stored exclusively on the basis of consent, the data recipient has the right to revoke that consent at any time. Withdrawal of the data subject’s approval is not valid where the collection of the data is dependent on the terms of items “a” and “b” above.

The Company, in its role as controller, does not collect personal information that exposes ethnic or racial origin, opinions linked to political, religious, or other philosophical view and beliefs, labor-union liaisons. The processing of biometric and/or genetic data, uniquely for the means of identification of the person, data regarding health or sexual life or orientation of the person except when we have received data subject’s explicit accord for the processing of this kind of data for one or more than one purposes.

We do use cookies. These are text files guarded in a system of computers via I-net (Internet) browser.

They are used by many servers and websites. A cookie ID is used in many cookies. An ID of cookies is the cookie’s unique id. It is made up of a character string that allows Internet sites and servers to be allocated to the same I-net browser where the cookie was placed. This enables visited Internet pages and servers to select the data subject’s particular browser from other browsers with other cookies. Using the special cookie ID, a particular Internet browser may be recognized and marked.

The Company will offer more usage experience services to the website’s clients and visitors by using cookies, which otherwise will not be available without the cookies’ policy establishment. The content and deals on our website can be optimized with the customer in mind by using cookies. As previously stated, cookies help us to remember our website visitors. This acknowledgment is intended to make it easy for people to access our website.

Clients of a website with cookies are not asked to insert access data any time the website is visited, since this is handled by the cookies’ policy and the website and is therefore saved on the user’s computer device. Another illustration is the cookie associated with a shopping basket in a web store. A cookie is used by the online retailer to recall goods stored in the online shopping basket by a client.

The data subject can stop the cookies’ setting at any time via the website by making the appropriate configuration in the used I-net browser, and this way permanently refuse cookie setting. Additionally, those already set cookies can be removed at any time using an I-net browser and various software programs. This is achievable in any of the popular web browsers. When the data subject disables the cookie settings in the I-net browser selected, not all the website’s features will be fully functional.

6. Collection of general information and data

When a client, (a data subject) or an automated system uses the website, the latter collects general information and data. This information and general data are then kept in the log files of the server. Collected data may include:

the operating system of the accessing system.
the version and the type of the I-net browser.
sub-websites.
referrers – website used by the accessing system to reach our website.
IP address
date and time of reaching our website.
the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
other similar information and data that may be used under attacks on our IT systems.

The Company does not evaluate the data subject while in use of the information and general data. This information is rather needed to:

provide and deliver correct content.
optimize the website and advertisement’s content.
ensure the viability of our website technology and IT systems, and
in case of a cyber-attack, provide the information needed to the law enforcement authorities.

This means that we do analyze anonymously the information and data collected statistically to increase the protection and the security of the data of our Company, but also to ensure the optimal possible level of the personal data’s protection processed by us. Server log files’ anonymous data is kept separately and away from the personal information provided by a data subject.

7. Contact possibility via the website

The website provides information enabling urgent direct communication electronic communication with us, and this also comprises a general address of e-mails. Therefore, personal data sent by the data subject is stored automatically when a data subject contacts us via our contact form or by email. Such voluntary transmission of personal data by the data subject to us – the data controller is kept to process or contact the data subject. During this process, no transfer of this type of personal data is made to third parties.

8. Comments’ function in the blog on the website

We can offer our users and clients the possibility to leave comments on the blog posts published on a blog, on the controller’s website. The blog is web – based and publicly – accessible. We publish blog posts from bloggers and writers.

If the comments’ function is available and a data subject decides to leave a comment under a blog post published on our website, the data subject’s comments will also be published and stored. Information on the time and date of the commentary and of the data subject’s username will be stored too. Logged will be also the IP address. The latter is due to security reasons – the protection of third parties in case of violation of third parties’ rights, or of illegal publication provided within a comment. This means that by storing such personal data, the controller keeps its interest so he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. Third parties will not have access to the above collected personal data unless it is required by the law or can be served to defend controller’s data.

9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The personal data’s time of storage by the controller is set by the European legislator or any other regulator or legislator under which the controller is falling. Therefore, it will be stored for the time of achieving the purpose of the storage or as long as the law requires.

All personal data is blocked or erased routinely in accordance with the requirements set by the European legislator or another regulatory body when the storage purpose is inapplicable, or if a storage period expires.

10. Data protection provisions about the Facebook use and application

The controller has incorporated enterprise Facebook components on this website.

Facebook is a social networking site.

A social network is an online community that enables users to interact in a digital environment and connect. It is a venue for social meetings on the Internet.

A social network may serve as a forum for the sharing of experiences and ideas, or it may enable the Internet community to share business-related or personal information.

Facebook enables users of the social network to set up private profiles, network via friend requests, and upload images.

Facebook’s operating company is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States.

If you live outside of the US or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When the individual pages of this i-net website are accessed by the data subject, which is run by the controller and into which was inserted a Facebook feature (Facebook plug-ins), the web browser on the data subject’s information technology device is automatically prompted to download a display of the Facebook corresponding component from Facebook via the component of Facebook.

A list of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

During the process of this technological method, Facebook learns which particular sub-site of our website the data subject visited.

If the data subject is logging in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects which particular sub-domain of our Internet page was accessed by the data subject for each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the time of stay on our website.

This information is collected through the Facebook portion and associated with the data subject’s Facebook account.

When data subject chooses one of the Facebook buttons built into our website, such as the “Like” button, or submits a message, this information is matched by Facebook with the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and retains the personal data.

Facebook collects information about a data subject’s visit to our website via the Facebook portion whenever the data subject is logged in on Facebook at the same time as the call-up to our website.

This occurs whether or not the data subject clicks on the Facebook component.

If the data subject does not want such a transmission of information to Facebook, he or she can avoid it by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

Facebook’s data security guideline, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, offers details about Facebook’s collection, processing, and usage of personal data.

Furthermore, it is clarified there, what privacy settings Facebook provides to protect the data subject’s privacy.

Furthermore, various options for configuration are available to enable the removal of transmission of data to Facebook.

The data subject is able to use the applications to avoid sending data to Facebook.

11. Data protection provisions about the Google AdSense use and application

The controller has used Google AdSense on this website.

Google AdSense is an online service that allows advertisers to insert advertisements on third-party websites.

Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that chooses advertisements displayed on third-party sites that are relevant to the content of the third-party site.

Google AdSense enables interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is accomplished by creating individual user profiles.

Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is the company that runs Google’s AdSense component.

The Google AdSense component aims to integrate advertising on our website.

Google AdSense puts a cookie on the data subject’s information technology device.

The meaning of cookies has already been clarified.

Alphabet Inc. is able to analyze our website usage thanks to the cookie.

For each of the controller’s i-net site’s pages visit, and through which a Google AdSense component is inserted, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology infrastructure will automatically send data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertisement and commission settlement.

During the process of this technological practice, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address, which allows Alphabet Inc. to understand the clicks and visitors’ origin and, as a result, establish commission settlements.

As previously mentioned, the data subject can, at any time, the setting of cookies prevention via our website by adjusting the web browser used, and thus permanently refuse the setting of cookies.

A change to the Internet browser used will also prevent Alphabet Inc. from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology infrastructure.

Furthermore, cookies previously used by Alphabet Inc. can be removed at any time using a web browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also employs so-called monitoring pixels.

A monitoring pixel is a small graphic that is inserted in web pages to allow log file logging and analysis, which allows statistical analysis to be conducted.

Alphabet Inc. will decide whether and when a data subject opened a page, as well as which links the data subject clicked on, using the embedded tracking pixels.

Tracking pixels are used to analyze the movement of traffic on a website, among other things.

Personal information and data, which includes the IP address and is required for the collection and accounting of the displayed advertisements, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America through Google AdSense.

This personally identifiable information will be stored and processed in the United States of America.

Alphabet Inc. can reveal the collected personal data to third parties through this technical procedure.

Google AdSense is discussed in greater detail at https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.

12. Data protection provisions (with anonymization function) about the Google Analytics

Use and application

The controller has included a Google Analytics component on this website (with the anonymizer function).

Google Analytics is a service for web analytics.

Gathering, collecting, and review of data regarding website visitors’ activities is web analytics.

A web analysis service gathers information such as the website from which the referrer – an individual came which sub-pages were accessed, how long or/and how often certain sub-page was visited.

Online analytics was mostly used for website optimization and to do analysis of the Internet ads’ cost-benefit.

Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is the operator of the Google Analytics portion.

The controller employs the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp” for web analytics through Google Analytics.

When a data subject accesses our websites from a Member State of the EU or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Google abridges and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s Internet link.

The component of Google Analytics aims to analyze the traffic on our Internet site.

Google uses the collected information and data, among other things, to analyze our website usage and to provide reports online that display on our website activities, as well as to provide us with further services associated to the Internet site usage.

Google Analytics puts a cookie on the data subject’s information technology infrastructure.

The meaning of cookies has already been clarified.

Google is able to analyze the use of our website thanks to the cookie.

With each visit to some of the pages of the Website, which is run by the controller also into which a component of Google Analytics is inserted, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology infrastructure will automatically upload data to Google for online advertisement and commission settlement.

During the process of this technological practice, the enterprise Google obtains personal information, such as the data subject’s IP address, which allows Google to understand the clicks and visitors’ origin and, as a result, establishes commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information such as the time of access, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency with which the data subject visits our website.

Such personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America for each visit to our Internet site.

Google stores these personal data in the United States of America.

Google can disclose the personal information gathered through the third parties’ technical procedure.

As previously mentioned, the data subject can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by adjusting the web browser used, and thus permanently refuse the setting of cookies.

A change to the Internet browser used will also prevent Google Analytics from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology infrastructure.

Furthermore, Google Analytics cookies can be removed at any time using a web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to a set of data produced by Google Analytics that is relevant to the use of this website, and also the data processing by Google and the ability to prevent such processing.

To accomplish this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This i-net add-on sends data to Google Analytics via JavaScript that any information and data about Internet page visits will not be sent to Google Analytics.

Google considers the installation of browser add-ons to be an objection.

If the data subject’s information technology infrastructure is subsequently removed, formatted, or newly updated, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics.

If the data subject or any other individual within their domain of competence uninstalled or disabled the browser add-on, the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons is possible.

More details and Google’s relevant data security provisions can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.

Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is the organization that operates the Google Remarketing services.

Google Remarketing aims to incorporate advertisements that are important to the user’s interests.

Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements on the Google network or on other websites that are tailored to the specific needs and desires of Internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology framework.

The meaning of cookies has already been clarified.

With the cookie, Google allows the user to our website to be recognized if he visits consecutive web pages that are also members of the Google advertising network.

For each visit to a website where Google Remarketing has been incorporated, the data subject’s web browser automatically associates with Google.

During the process of this technological method, Google collects personal information, such as the user’s IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to insert interest-relevant ads.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the Internet pages that the data subject has visited.

When we visit our Internet sites, personal data, including the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America.

Google stores these personal data in the United States of America.

Google can disclose the personal information gathered through the third parties’ technical procedure.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube at the time of the call to our website, YouTube and Google will receive information that the data subject has visited our website through the YouTube component; this happens regardless of whether the individual clicks on a YouTube video or not.

If the data subject does not want this information to be sent to YouTube and Google, the distribution will be stopped if the data subject logs out of their own YouTube account before visiting our website.

YouTube’s data security provisions, which can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, explain how YouTube and Google capture, store, and use personal data.

21. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a payment processor

PayPal components have been incorporated by the controller on this website.

PayPal is a company that offers online payment services.

Payments are made using PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or company accounts.

If a user does not have a PayPal account, PayPal can still process virtual payments using credit cards.

Since a PayPal account is handled by an e-mail address, there are no traditional account numbers.

PayPal allows you to initiate online transfers to third parties as well as accept payments.

PayPal embraces trustee duties and provides buyer security services as well.

PayPal’s European subsidiary is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as a payment method in the online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data subject’s information to PayPal.

By choosing this payment method, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data necessary for payment processing.

Personal data sent to PayPal is usually first and last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number, or other payment-related information.

The processing of the purchasing contract necessitates the collection of such personal data as is associated with the respective order.

The data transfer is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention.

The controller can pass personal data to PayPal if there is a valid interest in doing so.

PayPal can send to economic credit agencies the personal data shared between PayPal and the controller for data processing.

This transmission is intended to be used for identity and creditworthiness verification.

PayPal will, if applicable, disclose personal information to affiliates, service providers, or subcontractors in order to satisfy contractual obligations or process data in the order.

The data subject has the option to withdraw consent for the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time.

A revocation has no effect on personal data that must be stored, used, or distributed in order to process (contractual) payments.

PayPal’s relevant data security requirements can be found at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

22. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of Stripe as a payment processor

The controller has incorporated payment processing components from Stripe and its subsidiaries stripe.com on this website.

Stripe is a payment portal that accepts online payments.

Payments are handled as follows:

1) The customer pays with his credit card.

2) Stripe manages the complex data routing on behalf of the merchant through the steps/entities mentioned below.

3) Stripe sends the encrypted transaction details to the Service Provider over a secure link.

The transaction is sent to the credit card network by the Merchant Bank’s Processor (like Visa or MasterCard).

The credit card network routes the transaction to the bank that issued the customer’s credit card.

4) Depending on the customer’s available funds, the issuing bank accepts or rejects the transaction and sends the transaction results back to the credit card network.

The credit card network forwards transaction information to the merchant bank’s processor.

The transaction results are relayed to Stripe by the processor.

5) Depending on the customer’s available funds, the issuing bank accepts or rejects the transaction and sends the transaction results back to the credit card network.

The credit card network forwards transaction information to the merchant bank’s processor.

The transaction results are relayed to Stripe by the processor.

6) The merchant provides the customer with products or services.

7) The issuing bank transfers the purchase funds to the credit card network, which forwards the funds to the merchant’s bank.

The funds are then deposited into the merchant’s bank account by the bank.

This is known as settlement, and the transaction funds are normally deposited into the merchant’s primary bank account within two to four business days.

The address for Authorize.net is (General Inquiries) P.O. Box 8999 San Francisco, CA 94128-8999.

7556 US-70 #200, Bartlett, TN 38133, USA.

Personal data transmitted to the processor via the authorize.net gateway is usually first and last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, cell phone number, credit card number, or other payment processing data.

The processing of the purchasing contract necessitates the collection of such personal data as is associated with the respective order.

The data transfer is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention.

The controller can pass personal data to Authorize.net if there is a valid interest in doing so.

Personal data shared between Authorize.net and the controller for data processing will be distributed to economic credit agencies through Authorize.net.

23. Processing legal basis

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR is the legal basis for operating and this is why we obtain consent for some of the operational purposes. If personal data is necessary to be processed for a contract to which of the parties is the data subject, as in this particular case, when processing operations are needed for the provision of services and/or services, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.

The same applies to the operations needed for carrying out pre-contractual measures, like when there are inquiries regarding our services or products. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which personal data processing is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. Sometimes, personal data processing may be needed to safeguard data subject or another natural person’s vital interests. A general example: if a client gets injured in a company’s office and his/her health insurance data, age, name, or any other crucial information must be sent on to a hospital or any other third party. In this case, the processing will be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.

The processing operations can be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The legal frame is used for processing operations not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if the processing is needed for our company’s or third party’s legitimate interests, besides where the above interests are overridden by the interests or data subject’s fundamental rights and freedoms requiring personal data protection. This sort of processing operations is allowed as they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator considering that a legitimate interest can be assumed if the data subject is controller’s client (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

24. Controller or third party’s legitimate interests

When we process personal data under Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to manage our business in the best interests of both our employees and shareholders.

25. Period/time for which the personal data can be stored

The statutory retention period is the criterion used to assess the period of preservation of personal data. When that time expires, the data corresponding is removed routinely, when it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation. You can ask us to delete your personal information by sending an email to info(at) dominicanrepubliceticket.org or writing to the address mentioned above.

26. Personal data collection as a legislative or contractual requirement; a requirement for entering into a contract;

The data subject’s obligation to include personal information; potential consequences if such data fails to be provided.

We do clarify that the personal data provision is either required by the law (such as tax regulations). It might also be the product of contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

To sign a contract, the data subject may be required to provide us with personal data, which we must then process.

When our company, for example, signs a contract with the data subject, he or she is expected to provide us with personal details.

Failure to provide personal data will prevent the contract between the controller and the data subject from being concluded.

The data subject must first contact controller’s employee before providing personal information.

This employee checks to the data subject whether personal data provision is needed by law or by the contract, or whether it is required for the contract to be concluded, if there is a requirement to provide the personal data, and the failure consequences to provide such data.

27. Automated decision-making existence

As responsible business, we will not use automated profiling or decision-making.
