If we are requested by a public authority to disclose your personal data, we assess whether the legally established conditions for such disclosure are met.

Unless specific legal regulations stipulate a longer retention period, we usually retain your personal data for five years after the end of the contractual relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We store camera recordings for 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further information on the periods for which we retain personal data can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upjs.sk\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Priloha-c1-registraturny-plan-RR-8-2017-Reg-poriadok.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Records Retention Plan<\/a>, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.upjs.sk\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dodatok-c2-k-RP-8-2017-Reg-poriadok.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amendment No. 2<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we process your personal data on the basis of consent, we are obliged to stop processing your personal data for that purpose once the consent is withdrawn.

This is because these third countries may not, according to the decisions of the European Commission, ensure an adequate level of personal data protection. However, in certain cases such transfers do occur. Your personal data may be transferred to a third country, in particular, where you apply to UPJ\u0160 for cross-border mobility under available student or staff mobility programmes that enable study and\/or work stays at foreign universities. Without restrictions, personal data may be transferred within the European Economic Area and to the following countries that currently provide an adequate level of personal data protection according to the decisions of the European Commission: the Principality of Andorra, Argentina, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Jersey, New Zealand, Canada (commercial organisations), the Isle of Man, Switzerland, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the United States of America (companies certified under the Privacy Shield framework).<br>Transfers to any other third countries (or to companies that do not meet the specific sectoral requirements in the case of Canada and the United States of America) constitute cross-border transfers of personal data to a third country that does not ensure an adequate level of protection. If such a transfer is necessary, we seek to implement appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of GDPR, ensuring that the recipient of personal data in the third country is subject to an equivalent personal data protection regime as applies in the EU. Most commonly, this involves entering into so-called Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, where objectively possible. If this is not possible, we must proceed in accordance with the derogations for specific situations under Article 49 of GDPR. The most common cases involve your consent to the transfer or the performance of a contractual relationship.<br>UPJ\u0160 also uses secure cloud services provided by a verified provider with servers located within the EU jurisdiction. However, cross-border transfers of data to the United States may also occur on the side of the cloud service provider, which acts as our processor. This processor is Microsoft Inc., which is certified under the legal safeguards known as the Privacy Shield framework. More information about the specific legal safeguards applicable to these cross-border transfers of data containing your personal data can also be found in Microsoft\u2019s Privacy Statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a name=\"5\" id=\"5\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-zakladna-modra-color\">Is there automated processing of personal data with legal effect and\/or other significant impact on you?<\/mark><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automated individual decision-making pursuant to Article 22 of GDPR may occur in the following cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CHECKING THE ORIGINALITY OF THE FINAL THESIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Procedure used<\/strong><\/td><td>Anti-plagiarism software that scans publicly available sources and thus obtains a huge amount of data from other theses and professional publications from abroad, and evaluates the degree of similarity between the thesis and other theses in the register.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td>Correct determination of the percentage of match between the assessed final thesis and other final and academic theses in fulfilment of the legal obligations of a public university.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Expected consequences<\/strong><\/td><td>Decision based on percentage match (positive\/negative).
