The services of the companies listed below (joint controllers), starting with ensuring the operation and management of the website at 'www.contractors.cz', comprehensive assistance with job searches, organising training, and ending with organising social events aimed at connecting you with interesting people in your field, also involve necessary work with your personal data. We have prepared this Privacy Policy because we want you to be as informed as possible about what we do with your data.
In the Privacy Policy you will find, in particular:
- The personal data about you that we collect and why.
- How we use these personal data.
- Your rights regarding our use of your personal data and how to exercise them with us.

This means that your personal data will be processed by all three of these controllers. In order to allocate responsibilities among themselves, all the joint controllers have entered into an agreement that states that all personal data related to job search assistance will be managed by Principal engineering s.r.o., in connection with the operation of the website www.contractors.cz by Principal Services s.r.o., and in connection with the provision of training services by Inforex s.r.o.
All the controllers have agreed that you can submit all your requests to any of them using the email address gdpr@principal.cz. Where this Privacy Policy refers to "us", or where it is not clear which of the aforementioned joint controllers is referred to, this means all the joint controllers together or any of them, unless the context of the provision in question clearly indicates otherwise.
Personal data we collect about you
At the beginning of the provision of any of our services, you will provide us with the personal data necessary for the provision of the relevant service. In order for us to assist you in finding a job, you need to fill out the form with your full name, your contact details (email and phone number), and send us your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile.
Similarly, when registering for training, you need to provide us with your contact details (your full name, email and phone number), while you may voluntarily inform us about your field.
After you enter your email address in the appropriate form or create a profile on the website, you can subscribe to commercial messages. We will then be able to inform you about news, interesting events, job offers and current training sessions.
We are unable to provide you with the services you have requested without your personal data.
How we will use your personal data
The personal data you provide to us will be primarily used to ensure the services you expect are delivered with the highest possible quality – from confirming a booked course, confirming a payment, to handling unexpected events. We will also process your personal data to send you commercial messages. If you have signed up for an informal meeting (meetup), we will need your personal data to continue to keep in touch with you outside of the services and commercial messages we provide. A precise description of how we will handle your personal data can be found below.
Help with finding a job
If you ask us for help in finding a job, we will store your personal data, including your CV, in our encrypted database. When you submit your personal data, we will ask you to agree to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement and the General Terms and Conditions, and we will need to use your personal data for them. As soon as your personal data are available to our staff, they will start searching for the most suitable job opportunities for you. They will search for IT jobs for you with our customers, particularly in the following sectors: finance, insurance, telecommunications, automotive, transport, services, energy, pharmaceuticals, public administration, healthcare, food and brewing, manufacturing, and technology.
If one of our customers wants to use your knowledge and skills, one of our representatives will contact you with a specific job offer using the personal data you have provided. We will provide potential interested parties with your specific personal data and the CV you attached only after receiving your consent (which can also be provided by phone). We might send your personal data to some of these categories of recipients.
We know that a CV in particular can contain some sensitive personal data. That is why we have contractually committed every potential party interested in your work to effectively protect your personal data and to delete them if they decide not to use your services any more.
In order to help you find jobs, we will process your personal data on the basis of the legal title of the performance of the contract for the entire duration of the contractual relationship. Unless your contract is terminated earlier, we will search for suitable employment opportunities for you for a period of five years.
After the contract ceases to be effective, we must, due to possible objections and potential disputes, retain your personal data for an additional four years (meaning for the general limitation period, after which it is no longer effective to file a lawsuit in court, extended by the time it may take for a court to inform us or you that a lawsuit has actually been filed). During this four-year period, we will only retain personal data necessary for our, or possibly your, defence in a potential legal dispute, thus meeting our and your legitimate interest in the processing of personal data. After this period, your personal personal data will be completely deleted from our databases.
Due to our legal obligation to retain accounting documents, we will keep your personal data contained in accounting documents for the legally mandated period of 10 years.
Organisation of training courses
If you sign up for training, we will store your provided personal data and will also ask you to supplement them with billing data. As this is a paid service, we will use your personal data primarily to issue tax documents. We must keep these in our accounting for a period of 10 years due to legal archival obligations. We will also use the personal data provided for organisational activities related to seminars.
At the course venue, we kindly ask you to fill out the registration form, in which your name and signature will be included along with the date of your signature. We need to keep this document mainly in case there is any legal dispute regarding the seminar itself, or in case you need us to confirm your participation in the seminar in the following years, or in case you would like to participate in follow-up training. It is thus in our and your legitimate interest for us to keep all your personal data obtained in connection with the organisation of training for a period of five years.
As we care about your opinion and as we want to continuously improve, we will ask you to fill out a feedback form after completing a course. This is anonymous, meaning it does not contain any personal data. However, if you give us your consent with your name and signature, we will use your references in our web presentation.
Sending commercial messages
If you have given us your consent to send you commercial messages, we may use them to inform you about our future events, newly opened training courses and new job openings so that you never miss out on anything in your field. Each of the sent emails will be marked as a commercial message and each of them will contain a link allowing you to easily unsubscribe from commercial messages. If you register on our website, you can enable or restrict the sending of commercial messages by managing your profile. In relation to the sending of commercial messages, we will process your personal data for a period of three years from the granting of your consent. After these three years, we will ask you to renew your consent if you want to continue to receive commercial messages.
Keeping in touch after an informal meeting (meetup)
If you sign up for an informal meeting (meetup), we can keep in touch with you outside the framework of the services and commercial messages we provide. We do this so that we can help you move forward in your working life. Contact with you, after all, also advances us further and helps us improve our services. As part of this, we can also send you information about new work projects. We have a vested interest in this. You can always refuse this contact option. We will process your personal data for this purpose until you refuse this option.
Your rights and how to exercise them
Right of access to personal data and right to rectification
At any time in the future, you can email us at gdpr@principal.cz to request confirmation of whether or not your personal data is being processed. We will start processing your request once your identity has been verified. If your data are processed by us, we can inform you, at your request, beyond the information provided in this Privacy Policy, about any third parties to whom your personal data have been or will be made available, and if we did not obtain the personal data directly from you, you have the right to all the information available to us about where we obtained your personal information.
If we are processing your personal data inaccurately, you can notify us of this by email at gdpr@principal.cz. After verifying your identity and without undue delay, we will correct the inaccurate personal data. If you register on our website, you will be able to correct your personal data yourself by editing your profile. If you would like to add some personal data that you have not previously provided to us and that is necessary for the provision of the services we provide, simply fill it in again in full in the appropriate place.
Right to object to the processing of personal data
If we are processing your personal data based on our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing by emailing us at gdpr@principal.cz. Once your identity has been verified, we will begin to process your objection. If you raise such an objection, we will not be able to process your personal data unless we can demonstrate what compelling legitimate grounds we have for processing and that these grounds outweigh your interests, your rights and freedoms or the exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to restriction of work with personal data
You have the right to have us restrict any processing of your personal data, including erasure:
- If you let us know that the personal data we have collected are inaccurate, until we verify their accuracy.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request the restriction of their use instead of their erasure by emailing us at gdpr@principal.cz.
- If we no longer need your personal data to provide our services, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend your legal claims.
- If you object to processing in accordance with the paragraph above, until we have verified that our processing reasons outweigh your interests.
In each of these cases, we will first require verification of your identity.
Right to be forgotten (right to erasure of personal data)
If you find that we are processing your personal data:
- Even though the processing is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected them.
- You withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data and there is no further reason for their processing it (of course, only in cases where we are processing your sonal data on the basis of your consent);
- You object in accordance with the paragraph above and we are unable to demonstrate to you legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, your rights and freedoms or the exercise or defence of legal claims.
- Wrongfully.
You have the right to have us delete the personal data processed in this way without undue delay and after we verify your identity, by notifying us of such facts by email at gdpr@principal.cz. We cannot erase data even at your request if their processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil any of our legal obligations, to carry out a task performed in the public interest, or to establish, exercise or defend our legal claims.
Right to data in machine-readable form
If, by emailing us at gdpr@principal.cz, you request that we provide you with the personal data processed by us, we will verify your identity and send them to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (e.g. *.pdf, or one of the tabular formats) within the statutory deadline. If you ask us to send your personal data to another data Controller, we are obliged to do so.
Right to withdraw your consent to commercial messages at any time
If you no longer wish to receive commercial messages from us, you may withdraw your consent to them at any time without giving any reason, either by clicking on the link included in each commercial message, through the profile you created by registering on our website, or by emailing us at gdpr@principal.cz.
Right to lodge a complaint at the Office for Personal Data Protection
In the event that, in your opinion, we are not meeting all our legal obligations arising in connection with the processing of your personal data, you may contact the Office for Personal Data Protection, either at their registered office Pplk. Sochora 27, Prague 7, postcode 170 00, by email at posta@uoou.cz, or in any other way accepted by the Office for Personal Data Protection.
