In addition, we may use your name, surname and email address to send you commercial communications, i.e. to inform you about events, publications or services we provide that we think may be of interest to you. The provision of personal data for the purposes of performance of a contract and the provision of personal data for the purposes of responding to enquiries or information requested by you is a contractual requirement of ours and failure to provide it may result in a failure to enter into a contract or to respond to enquiries raised by you.

In addition, you may refuse the processing of your personal data for the purpose of sending you commercial communications at any time and this will not affect our other relationships with you. Simply send us an email with the relevant request to gdpr@cdv.cz or any other address from which you have received commercial communications from us.
